The faba bean (Vicia faba) is a temperate grain legume, that regaining interest due to the high demand for food and feed uses environmental services provided. parasitic weed broomrape (Orobanche crenata) appears as major constraint agricultural production in Mediterranean Basin. yield stability can be managed by adjusting agronomic practices breeding adaptation. In this study, we compared perfo...

In Mediterranean environments, with mild winters and dry summers, peas are planted in autumn or early winter to profit from rain avoid terminal drought high summer temperatures. The root parasitic weed broomrape (Orobanche crenata) appears as a major limiting factor under these conditions. To address such specific growing conditions associated constraints, targeted breeding is needed. We presen...

To gain a better understanding of the effects of spatial structure on patterns of neighbourhood competition among hardwood trees, the three-dimensional extension of primary branches was surveyed for ten community-grown Castanea crenata (Fagaceae) trees with respect to the positioning of neighbouring branches and the slope of the forest floor. There were significantly more branches extending tow...

A field experiment was conducted on an Orobanche naturally infested soil at Sakha Agricultural Research Station - Kafr El Sheikh, in 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 seasons aiming combating crenata faba bean through using waterextracts of fenugreek, coriander sorghum crops, each a concentration 10% weight/volume rate 20 litres/fed mixed with glyphosate (48%) reduced (40cm3/fed) compared to the recommen...
