The seed coat of pigeonpea is rich in calcium and is a potential valuable input for baby food and mineral supplements a study by the International Crops Research Institute (ICRISAT) revealed. Recent reports indicate a…
Against the backdrop of climate change and rising water demand, tools for adequately modelling water availability are much needed. In a new study, researchers applied a large-scale model linking surface water to…
By enhancing Ethiopian farmers’ technical knowledge, chickpea yields in Ethiopia could be significantly increased, according to a recent study by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics…
Two major scientific publications have just revealed some surprising findings about the world’s plant biodiversity. The first refutes a widely accepted theory: the climate is not the only factor explaining biodiversity…
Researchers of the Technical University of Munich in Germany, working in international science teams, are conducting experiments to identify untapped genetic resources to increase wheat yields around the world.
Researchers at the University of California, Davis/USA, have found a way to reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilisers needed to grow cereal crops. It could save farmers billions of dollars annually in fertiliser costs.…
Africa's protected areas (PAs) are the last stronghold of the continent's unique biodiversity, but they appear increasingly threatened by climate change, substantial human population growth, and land-use change.
