Productivity of faba bean is highly constrained by an emerging and destructive faba bean gall (FBG) disease caused by the fungus Physoderma. Field surveys were conducted to assess the spatial and temporal distribution as well as intensity of FBG...
The short-term fencing effects on vegetation in dryland landscape depressions are analyzed and the economic performance of grazing-only and integrated grazing with cropping in regard to land capital are compared. The goal is to suggest efficient...
Access to food, water, and good air quality is indispensable for human life, as reflected in various United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); however, pursuing food security may pose threats to water security and/or air quality. An...
We analysed options to optimize the use of sires in sheep and goat community-based breeding programmes (CBBP) for three scenarios occurring under field conditions: premature sale of selection candidates, fixed service periods of selected sires and...
Reliable spatiotemporal measurements of evapotranspiration (ETa) are important for water resources planning, management and monitoring, efficient irrigation scheduling, and development and monitoring of climate change mitigation scenarios. Due to...
Pollinators are threatened worldwide and strategies and measures to support their conservation are proliferating. Among them, the approach “Farming with Alternative Pollinators” (FAP) aims to support pollinators by seeding strips of pollinator...
Identification and exploration of the
genetic architecture of traits related to yield, quality,
and drought and heat tolerance is important for yield
and quality improvement of wheat through markerassisted
selection. One hundred and ninety-two spring...
