Congratulations to Prof. Zvi Peleg for achieving Kaye award

6 June, 2024

In recent years, Prof. Zvi Peleg's laboratory at the Faculty of Agriculture has developed new sesame varieties with improved yield and quality adapted to mechanized harvesting, as part of a move to return this important crop to seed in Israel. However, there remains a significant challenge of dealing with weeds which can lead to a significant reduction in crops as a result of competition for resources.
