Conservation tillage enhances crop productivity and decreases soil nitrogen losses in a rainfed agroecosystem of the Loess Plateau, China
Conservation tillage has been recommended as one of the effective soil management practices for
mitigating the negative environmental effects of synthetic ammonia application and hence achieving
cleaner agricultural ...
A framework for priority-setting in climate smart agriculture research
Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is widely promoted as an approach for reorienting agricultural development under the realities of climate change. Prioritising research-for-development activities is crucial, given the need ...
Improving agricultural water productivity in the Indira Gandhi Nahar Pariyojana (IGNP)
ICARDA and CAZRI have recently concluded a 6-year research study on investigation of avenues to
improve agricultural water productivity in the INGP canal command area. The study was conducted in
stages I and I I of the ...
Quantifying regional effects of plastic mulch on soil nitrogen pools, cycles, and fluxes in rain‐fed agroecosystems of the Loess Plateau
Farmland surface soil mulching with plastic film is extensively used to enhance agricultural productivity in the Loess Plateau (LP). However, the effect of mulching on the key processes that dominate soil nitrogen dynamics ...
Ultra-Low Energy Drip Irrigation for MENA Countries Drip Irrigation in Morocco
While drip irrigation has been hailed as a promising solution to Morocco’s water shortage problems, current adoption rates have been quite low, with some watersheds reporting an adoption rate as low as 10% (Jobbins et al., ...
Ultra-Low Energy Drip Irrigation for MENA Countries_ Quarterly Report – October-December 2019
The objective of the Ultra-Low Energy Drip Irrigation for MENA Countries project is to design and field validate ultra-low pressure drip irrigation systems for the MENA region in the field, for young and mature olive and ...
Comparative study of the hydraulic, energy and agronomic performances of conventional and low pressure drip irrigation on citrus
In countries facing water scarcity, drip irrigation can raise crop productivity and save water
compared to flood irrigation. In spite of its benefit, the adoption of drip irrigation is still low
mainly due to the high cost ...
Outline of the literature review on no tillage treatment effects on soil physical health
The research Activity “Improvement of water productivity and adaptation to climate change through the development of integrated inputs (water and nitrogen) management options” was launched in 2015, and implemented by ICARDA ...
Farmer field day: Using drip irrigation
Video about a farmer field day organized at INRA Saada Research Station
Water for Food, Water for Life: The Drylands Challenge
Dry areas face major challenges, including insufficient rainfall, climate variability and change, land degradation, desertification, recurring droughts, temperature extremes, high population growth, widespread poverty, and ...
