Smallholder farms’ populations are characterized by their heterogeneity giving the diversity of farms’ livelihood settings. Integrated farming system modelling therefore requires a preliminary clear identification of the farm types in a location and...

Understanding the factors driving the farmers’ decisions to diversify their crop production is important for management strategies and policies promoting climate-smart agricultural development. Options for diversification and its associated drivers...

Climate resilient agriculture (CRA) is very important to achieve long-term improvement in productivity and farm incomes under climate uncertainty. The present study focuses on investigating the plausible changes in the hydrometeorological conditions...

In Tunisia, lentil (Lens culinaris subsp.
culinaris Medik.) is cultivated in arid and semi-arid
areas. Terminal drought and heat stresses during the
end of cycle causes signifcant yield losses. Selection of short cycle varieties could be the best...

Phosphorus (P) is a major limiting nutrient reducing crop yields especially in weathered soils of the subtropics and tropics. P exhibits poor mobility and availability to plants in soil. To overcome P deficiency in soil, phosphatic fertilizers are...

In Morocco, cereal production is below the expected potential. The adoption of best
agricultural practices that reduce vulnerability to climate is a major requirement. No-tillage (NT)
agriculture is a system that could improve cereal production by...

The objective of this study was to investigate the fermentation characteristics and nutritional value of A. sativa genotypes ensiled either solely or in combination with P. purpureum 16791. Three different A. sativa genotypes (SRCPX80AB2806, ILRI...
