Abstract Elevated temperatures associated with climate change result in crops being exposed to frequent spells of heat stress. Heat stress results reduced yield field pea ( Pisum sativum L.); it is therefore important identify cultivars improved pod and seed retention under mitigate this loss. Objectives were investigate the effect on phenology, pod‐based components. Sixteen evaluated at normal late (hot) seeding dates Arizona 2012 growth chambers two temperature regimes (24/18°C 35/18°C...
Apple production in the Fes-Meknes region of Morocco is highly affected by pests and adverse weather conditions. A survey apple farmers’ knowledge, perceptions practices (KPP) pest management climate change was conducted spring 2018 two major apple-producing provinces region. Each farmer reported three insect diseases on average affecting their orchards. Pest performed a combination cultural chemical methods. All farmers used dormant sprays. About 60% respondents adopted surveillance based...
An extensive survey conducted in the Saïss plain of Morocco during 2017–2018 growing season revealed that 35 out 50 apple and pear orchards were infested with a pathogen causes decline disease. Morphological phylogenetic tree analyses using cox II gene allowed us to identify as Phytopythium vexans. Interestingly, no Phytophthora Pythium species isolated. The occurrence prevalence disease varied between locations; most locations Meknes (100%), Imouzzer (83%), Sefrou (80%). To fulfill Koch’s...
Tan spot, caused by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr), is one of the most destructive leaf spot diseases wheat in Canada. Several races fungus are known to occur. Wheat growers have adopted fungicides manage tan spot; however, intensive spraying may lead development reduced sensitivity pathogen. In this study, 62 Ptr isolates were collected from across Saskatchewan and Alberta characterized race on a differential set, with confirmation designations polymerase chain reaction. This same set...
Abstract The effects of applied nitrate on symbiotic nitrogen fixation in legumes are complex. Both inhibition and promotion nodulation by have been observed a dose‐dependent manner. objectives this study were to determine the at different concentrations root genotypes common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris ). Six inoculated with same rhizobial strain grown hydroponically growth pouches chamber exposed six concentrations, including 0, 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20 mM for 4 weeks. tested included three...
The ovule is a plant structure that upon fertilization, transforms into seed. Successful fertilization required for optimum crop productivity and strongly affected by environmental conditions including temperature precipitation. Climate change refers to sustained changes in global or regional climate patterns over an extended period, typically decades millions of years. These shifts can result from natural processes like volcanic eruptions solar radiation fluctuations, but recent times,...
Apple scab, Venturia inaequalis (Cooke) G. Winter, results in numerous fungicide applications the Sais region of Morocco. We conducted study to determine susceptibility cultivars through field survey and evaluate sensitivity V. three fungicides using both vitro vivo methods. surveyed 100 apple orchards collected two samples. Disease showed that were highly susceptible scab (grand mean leaf scab: Golden Delicious, 40.31%; Starking 20.45%; Gala, 18.92%). Results underlined no significant...
