The aim of this search was to understand the effect of humic acid on soil properties and the growth and salinity tolerance of maize irrigated with saline water. The experiment was conducted in the Sabboura Research Station, Syria in 2019–2020....
Desert truffles are edible mushrooms compulsorily living in symbiosis with plants’ roots. They are rich in essential nutrients and secondary metabolites, conferring therapeutic properties. In Morocco, around ten species can be found in semiarid...
Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) is a plant species belonging to the family Asteraceae. It contains natural intense sweeteners while presenting low carbohydrate content. Its insignificant effect on blood glucose makes its consumption possible for diabetic...
This study focused on the mitigation of the negative impact of salinity stress over time on the growth and development of Phoenix dactylifera plants using compost and/or arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). The experiment had eight treatments in a ran...
The experiment on effect of organic amendment and NPK fertilizer of forage yield of cereals using saline water irrigation (12.4 dS/m) was conducted in Es-Smara province in the South of Morocco during 2020–2021. We found that organic amendments...
Morocco has a very long mining tradition, and is threatened by ground salinization. The objective of this study was to evaluate the salinity level in the mixture of phosphate mining by-products and sludge prior to its use to reclaim a mine site or fo...
Improving the preparedness of agricultural systems to future climate-change-induced phenomena, such as drought-induced water stress, and the predictive analysis of their vulnerability is crucial. In this study, a hybrid modeling approach based on the...
This study describes the use of an emulsion-based formulation to increase the resistance of plants to salinity and other abiotic stress. Inventors have described and claimed, through the US20160302416A1 patent, an emulsion-based formulation for incre...
Water scarcity is the main limiting factor for fruit trees in arid regions of Tunisia. In this area, almond is widespread, but severe conditions are a key issue for nuts production and kernel quality. In this study, phenological features and kernel q...
Restoration programs face several challenges in degraded drylands and desert environments, such as high temperatures, soil salinity, water scarcity, loose soils with low water-holding capacity, and poor fertility. Seed-enhancement technologies (SETs)...
The phenotypic diversity of agronomical traits and nut phenolic compound content of four pistachio cultivars (Mateur, Elguetar, Kerman, and Ohadi), conducted under regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) during two growing seasons (2017/2018), were evalua...
Salinity is a serious threat to agriculture, causing the inhibition of and alterations in germination and plant growth and development. Durum wheat is highly sensitive to salinity. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to establish a screen...
The lack of precipitation influences the salinity of irrigation water. The experiment was conducted in a plum orchard in the Rgueb region. Two water regimes were applied. Stressed trees received 50% crop evapotranspiration (ETc) and the controls rece...
Root biomass and phenotyping are vital parameters for studies on crop performance and response to environmental change, as well as abiotic stresses, crop water uptake, nutrient supply, and soil C sequestration and quality. However, root sampling and...
The Ahémé Lake and its channels make up the saline area in Benin and do not facilitate the breeding of freshwater fish. The cross between the parents of Oreochromis niloticus and Sarotherodon melanatheron allowed us to obtain hybrids th...
Salinity is one of the major severe constraints that limit crop productivity in 40% of the land surface, notably in the Mediterranean region. In this study, we worked in an argan orchard located in Laâyoune, Morocco. The orchard is characterize...
Food security is a crucial issue in Cameroon. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, with the help of the University of Yaoundé 1 and the National Institute of Cartography, aims to produce an agronomic aptitude map of the country....
This study was conducted to assess the effect of seed pre-treatment “priming” with zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) on the improvement in germination in three quinoa genotypes, “ICBA-Q5”, “Puno” and “Titicaca”, und...
Today, irrigated agriculture is even more influenced by climate change with consequent negative effects on food security. The Mediterranean area is most affected by climate change, leading to greater exposure to uncertainty and production risks. In t...
Soilless culture is one of the alternative techniques to cope with saline soil. The objective of this study is to identify a new local substrate based on cactus fiber. Three mixtures of cactus fiber and coconut fiber substrates (M0, M1, M2, M3, and C...
The control of soil salinity and the achievement of sustainable agricultural development goals require knowledge of the soil salinity spatial distribution and its temporal evolution. The objective of this study was to understand the spatial variation...
Salinization is one of the main challenges of contemporary agriculture affecting food security and sustainability. Climate change with more persistent droughts, floods and sea-level rise is expected to increase this challenge, making it one of the mo...
The Argane tree (Argania spinosa (L.) Skeels) is an endemic species of Morocco, widely adapted to the arid and semi-arid climate of the southwest. The Argane may serve as an oilseed crop in desert areas threatened by drought and salinity. Its domesti...
Soil salinity is a significant threat to crop sustainability and food security. This review aims to provide the basis for effective soil salinity management by examining the different solutions to develop scientifically sound guidelines for farmers,...
Rice is sensitive to salinity at both the seedling and reproductive stages, and it reduces the grain yield from 50 to 100%. In this study, 27 SNP markers significantly associated with 15 QTLs were identified. Three major QTLs were associated with sho...
In this work, we will present a new protocol to identify solid matter quickly, and at low cost, by physico-chemical analysis methods. The fast and less expensive methods for identification that we investigate, using principal component analysis (ACP)...
