Many sustainable agronomical practices can be adopted to contain environmental risks of crop production and, at the same time, sustain yield and quality. In this framework, the aim of this research was to study the effects of continuous cropping (CC) and crop rotation, tillage and fertilization strategies on durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) production. The responses of soil properties we...

At present, the role of agricultural practices on dynamic GHGs is being investigated worldwide. In this study, effects soil tillage (conventional vs. conservation techniques) and fertilization sources (inorganic organic) CO2 emissions in durum wheat (Triticum Desf.)–potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) rotation Mediterranean area were evaluated. This study aimed to understand changes carbon content un...

Precision agriculture (PA) practices based on the use of sensors and vegetation indices have great potential for optimizing herbicide improving weed management in field crops. The objective this research was to evaluate efficacy commercial products their selectivity durum wheat by measuring Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). Field trials were conducted Velestino Kozani, Greece (2020...

Nitrogen fertilizer application is conditioned closely by the amount of rainfall and its distribution. The current study aims at studying effect nitrogen (N) rate on grain yield (GY), protein content (GPC), use efficiency (NUE) durum wheat under Algerian semiarid conditions. Field trials were conducted during two contrasting successive growing seasons (a dry year = 2016–2017 a wet 2017–2018) lo...

The action of species cytoplasm specific (scs) gene(s) can be observed when a durum (Triticum turgidum L.) nucleus is placed in the Aegilops longissimum S. & M. cytoplasm. This alloplasmic combination, (lo) durum, results in nonviable progeny. A scs gene derived from T. timopheevii Zhuk. (scs(ti)) produced compatibility with the (lo) cytoplasm. The resulting hemizygous (lo) scs(ti)- durum line ...

In the 21st century, global climate change is a key concern for countries all over world as, in future, crops will face several extreme events, including an increase of 2–4 °C mean temperature with possible consequent reduction yield. Wheat (Triticum durum Desf) one most important foods as it provides 20% protein population. Since limiting factors crop development, aim this trial was to verify ...
