To introduce new genetic diversity into the bread wheat gene pool from its progenitor, Aegilops tauschii (Coss.) Schmalh, 33 primary synthetic hexaploid wheat genotypes (SYN) were crossed to 20 spring bread wheat (BW) cultivars at the International Wheat and Maize Improvement Center. Modified single seed descent was used to develop 97 populations with 50 individuals per population using first b...

The adoption of technologies has been the concern of developing countries. The assessment of adoption process provides valuable information to the researchers, extensionists and policy makers to identify reasons of low yield. The present study aimed to observe the adoption level of farmers for wheat production technologies. A questionnaire was designed to gather information especially about the...

s: The agriculture plays an important role in the Moroccan economy. The cereal culture occupies a place excellence in the farming sector. Cereals are essentially represented by the cultures of the wheat and the barley.The farmers meet several obstacles which accompany them during all the season and which can cause dramatic losses. The difficulty of the estimation of these losses by the farmers ...

BACKGROUND The present study was designed to investigate the enhanced antioxidant capacity of whole grains from wheat plants grown under seawater stress in response to microalgae extract treatment. RESULTS The total carotenoid (TCAR), tocopherol (TOC), phenolic (TPC), and protein (PC) contents in whole grains of wheat plants irrigated with 10% and 20% (v/v) seawater (SW) in response to water ...

Zhou, X. B. and Y. h. Chen, 2011. Yield response of winter wheat to row spacing under irrigated and rainfed conditions. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 17: 158-166 In China, wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is cultivated across a wide range of climatic conditions. The average rainfall was recorded at 696.6 mm per year from 1971 to 2008 at Taian in northern China. Considerable variability in the row spacing (...

the study of virtual water and water productivity in agricultural crops requires the establishment of relations where represent the actual amount of water in order to produce the respective crop. this feature presents a new approach in studies regarding agricultural ecology. this survey evaluates the virtual water, water productivity and ecological water footprint of wheat and corn fields in th...

Water tables are dropping by approximately one meter annually throughout the North China Plain mainly due to water withdrawals for irrigating winter wheat year after year. In order to examine whether the drawdown can be reduced we calculate the net water use for an 11 year field experiment from 2003 to 2013 where six irrigated crops (winter wheat, summer maize, cotton, peanuts, sweet potato, ry...
