Safe movement of food and forage crops germplasm: ICARDA’s experience in the Arab region
Germplasm exchange for research and breeding purposes is essential for crop improvement in the face of climate change and population growth. To contribute towards achieving sustainable development goals, the germplasm ...
Diagnostic tools validated by ICARDA’s Germplasm Health Unit (GHU) for detection of cereal seed-borne pests
ICARDA’s Germplasm Health unit (GHU) is responsible for the monitoring, clearance and documentation of safe germplasm movement at the Center's locations in Lebanon and Morocco. All incoming and outgoing genetic resources ...
High accuracy of genome-enabled prediction of belowground and physiological traits in barley seedlings
In plants, the study of belowground traits is gaining momentum due to their importance on yield formation and the uptake of water and nutrients. In several cereal crops, seminal root number and seminal root angle are proxy ...
Low-cost off-grid automatic hydroponic forage barley production system
Hydroponic forage production is a viable option to provide farmers with a source of highly
palatable forage at times of the year when other sources are not available. However,
hydroponic forage production systems are often ...
Quarantine seed-borne pests of food legumes, cereals, forages and rangelands and their detection methods applied by ICARDA's GHU
In order to safeguard countries from quarantine risks (insect pests, pathogens, nematodes, parasitic weeds) associated with the movement of germplasm, ICARDA’s Germplasm Health Unit (GHU) follows a regulatory and quarantine ...
Optimising the use of Barley straw in Tropical Ruminant Diets
This thesis provides a general overview of barley straw utilization and the means for its improvement in Ethiopian mixed crop-livestock farming systems. Most Ethiopian households store crop residues in exposed heaps which ...
Epidemiology and management of legume and cereal viruses in Arab and Mediterranean regions
In the Arab and Mediterranean regions, cool-season food legumes (chickpea, faba bean, lentil and pea) are infected naturally by many viruses, and the number of viruses involved continues to increase. However, at any specific ...
Profitability of Manufactured Feed Pellets for Small-Scale Crop-Livestock Farmers in Tunisia
The aim of this R4D Initiatives is to explore the profitability of manufactured feed pellets for small-scale crop-livestock farmers in Tunisia. During the past few growing seasons, within several R4D initiatives and projects ...
