ABSTRACT Promoting food security, fostering economic growth, and building resilience to climate change are crucial priorities in Africa, where the health fertility of soils play a key role. Raising awareness about soil‐related issues finding potential solutions vital for addressing complex interplay factors affecting across African continent. This paper is written three parts. The first part highlights discusses current problems which include soil erosion, desertification, nutrient...
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 Tunisia, climate change impacts that lead to the degradation of soil resources are considered be a major limiting factor on socio-economic development. These exacerbated by intensive plowing and cultivation practices used Tunisian farmers, which expedite depletion organic matter (SOM), leading changes in physio-chemical properties consequently promoting erosion. fact, decrease carbon (SOC) stocks affects soil’s fertility ability regulate change. The objective this study, was conducted Le...
Abstract Soil erosion is a severe environmental concern arising from intensive agricultural uses, land degradation, and anthropogenic activities. This problem threatens productivity sustainable development, particularly in emerging countries. Therefore, evaluating soil essential conservation, planning, management on watershed or basin scale. study aims to assess the of loss El Gouazine Watershed, central Tunisia, using water assessment tool (SWAT). We define impact conservation...
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...
Climate change has had significant impacts on agriculture, particularly cotton production, where drought emerged as a major threat worldwide. Long and intense dry periods in cotton-growing regions have become more frequent severe. Drought stress severely affects various aspects of plants, including chlorophyll pigments, carbohydrate metabolism, enzyme activities related to fiber development, such vacuolar invertase sucrose synthase. Furthermore, disrupts the movement nutrients toward...
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...
Soil degradation poses a major challenge for agricultural and socio-economic development in Tunisia. The conventional intensive cultivation practices commonly used by farmers cause rapid depletion of soil organic matter, which is adversely affecting the physio-chemical properties accelerating erosion. decrease carbon stocks factor aggravating impacts climate change.
Water Use Efficiency (WUF) of five durum wheat varieties (Khiar, Karim, Nasr, Razzak and Sobirano) cultivated in Tunisia was investigated. The experiment conducted under rainfed field conditions, irrigated pots test tubes at ESA Kef station during the cropping season 2010-2011. Under Khiar has highest grain yield with 29.35 q ha(-1). Biological WUE ranged from 1.72-1.49 mg dry matter per g water for respectively. ranged.from 0.81-0.48 Sobirano, showed positive correlation to stomatal density...
Background: In Tunisia, water deficit and heat stress during the end of cycle are more frequent causes significant yield losses. Selection short lines could be a good solution to escape effect drought cycle. Furthermore, there is little published information on sowing date its components in lentils. The aim this study was investigate some lentil lines. best productive early will selected therefore proposed for registration official catalog plant varieties. availability these varieties...
Intensive cultivation is a threat to soil health. Holistic management strategies are necessary rejuvenate Farmyard manure (FYM) application an alternative option health and crop productivity. A short-term field study was conducted at UAF-Pakistan evaluate the co-application of FYM inorganic fertilizer (Di-ammonium Phosphate; DAP) for rejuvenation maize Treatments included four levels phosphorus (P) rate 0, 90, 120, 150 Kg ha−1 alone in combination with two 0 10 tons two-factor randomized...
