Durum wheat is the most widely grown cereal in Tunisia, but its production threatened by drought, which exacerbated climate change. This study aimed to identify drought-tolerant durum genotypes from five modern varieties and six landraces a multi-environment trial at two sites (Kef Siliana, Tunisia) during three growing seasons under rainfed irrigated conditions. Six drought tolerance indices (mean productivity (MP), geometric mean (GMP), stress susceptibility index (SSI), (TOL), (STI),...
Salinity stress is an important environmental factor that limits plant growth and productivity in the world. The effect of seed priming with glycine betaine (GB) on germination four durum wheat varieties (Salim, Maâli, Monastir Carioca) under salt conditions induced by sodium chloride (NaCl) were investigated. Three concentrations GB (0, 50 100 mM) tested three levels 200 mM). main results obtained showed significant effects treatments most studied traits. Salt had a negative seedlings....
Abstract Adopting sustainable agricultural practices is considered as an effective strategy to mitigate climate change and improve soil health crop production.This study aims assess the impact of tillage systems (no-tillage (NT) conventional (CT)), rotation (faba beans - oat faba durum wheat) nitrogen fertilization rates (0, 20 40 kg N.ha-1) on properties growth yield fenugreek. Soil samples were collected at two stages: 50% blossoming stage after harvest fenugreek quality its components...
Drought is one of the major abiotic stresses affecting agricultural production. This stress has negative effects on quality, production and productivity durum wheat (Triticum Desf.), especially in arid semi-arid areas. work focused i) effect seed priming by salicylic acid (SA) germination under drought conditions induced polyethylene glycol (PEG6000). Four treatments were applied (T0: PEG- , AS-; T1: AS+; T2: PEG+, AS- ; T3: AS+) ii) SA foliar application physiological traits varieties...
In Mediterranean regions, the performance of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. Desf.) yield often varies due to significant genotype × environment interaction (GEI); therefore, stability is an important consideration in breeding programs. The aim this research was explore GEI pattern and 24 promising lines, selected by ICARDA several African countries (seven elites, four commercial varieties, 13 wide crosses, generated hybridization elites Triticum dicoccoides Koern. ex Schweinf.,...
In the literature, little information is available on effect of Selenium (Se) durum wheat yield and grain quality performances. A field investigation was conducted to explore exogenous Se foliar supply two types germplasm; i.e., 16 advanced lines nine modern varieties. The assessed as well technological traits (moisture, protein gluten contents, Zeleny sedimentation index, deformation energy) in contrasting environments Tunisia, namely Kef-Boulifa (semi-arid region) Beja (sub-humid region)....
The overuse of chemical pesticides and fertilizers in crop farming has led to a decrease quality negative impacts on soil the environment. It is crucial adopt alternative strategies maintain environmental while enhancing growth yield. To explore this, study was conducted under greenhouse conditions investigate effect Rhizobium tropici CIAT 899 alone, as well association with mycorrhizae (Rhizophagus irregularis) endophytic fungus (Serendipita indica), growth, yield, nutrient status snap bean...
Three durum wheat (Nasr, Maâli and Salim), two bread (Tahent Utique) barley varieties (Manel Kounouz) were assessed in different semi arid locations under rainfed conditions 2012-2013 growing season for yield related traits performances, stability adaptability parameters. For determining of genotypes, regression coefficient (bi) variance deviation from (S²di) are used. The evaluation was based on five agro-morphological traits: tiller number/plant, spike number/m2, plant 1000 kernel weight...
Water deficit is the major factor limiting durum wheat (Triticum Desf.) production and productivity. In this context, a first experiment was conducted to study effect of seed priming by glycine betaine (GB) on germination under water stress induced polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000). Five treatments were applied (T0: Control (0 g/l PEG, 0 mM GB); T1: 50 GB; T2: 100 mM; T3: 125 GB;T4: GB;T5: GB. A second has focused evaluation silicon (Si) foliar application physiological response in field...
In this study, five durum wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp durum) genotypes: Agili, Arbi, Derbassi, Karim and Maali were assessed for 04 agronomical parameters associated with salinity-tolerance. Genotypes grown under glasshouse conditions exposed to salinity levels (control, 3g/l, 6 g/l, 9 g/l et 12 of NaCl) evaluate their tolerance using biomass the relative salt-susceptibility index: R.S.S.I = R.B.D./S.I.I. (R.B.D.: deficit S.I.I.: intensity index).Genotypic screening was also based on...
Water stress prevents all cropping systems from reaching their production potential. This is likely to be amplified by increased climate variability. Cereals, food crops and staple foods for most of the world's population are significantly affected drought. By 2050, grain must increase about 70% meet global needs. However, current studies adaptive strategies mitigate effects water remain limited. Varietal adaptation development new ones, as well adoption appropriate practices, among...
