Diversified Cropping System: Relay Intercropping of Lentil with Quinoa (Morocco)
A Diversified Cropping System (DCS) results in a more resilient and intensive cropping
system. In this case quinoa was introduced as an intercrop for lentil. The yield of lentil is
not reduced; hence the system becomes ...
A Holistic Framework towards Developing a Climate-Smart Agri-Food System in the Middle East and North Africa: A Regional Dialogue and Synthesis
Agriculture and agri-food systems of the highly vulnerable Middle East and North Africa
(MENA) region needs a radical transformation under a changing climate. Based on a two-year effort,
initially we developed a mega ...
Final Technical report: Establishing and Operating a Near East and North Africa Regional Network for Evapotranspiration (NENA-ETNet)
Actual Evapotranspiration (ETa) is the main component required to understand both hydrological and
ecological processes between the land surface and the atmosphere. Reliable spatiotemporal
measurements of ET are important ...
Heat units-based potential yield assessment for cotton production in Uzbekistan
Cotton yields in Uzbekistan are significantly lower than those in similar agro-climatic regions, requiring the
estimation of crop potential and baseline yield to track progress of production enhancement efforts. The current ...
Field Data Analysis and Reporting Activity 7.1: Analyze the Data of the Field Measurements
Reliable spatiotemporal measurements of evapotranspiration (ETa) are important for water resources planning, management and monitoring, efficient irrigation scheduling, and development and monitoring of climate change ...
Output 9: Comparison Between Field Data and Remote Sensing Data Analyzed Comparing Evapotranspiration Retrieved Through Various Remote Sensing based Models with Ground Measured Data
Evapotranspiration (ET) measurement on a real-time basis at a large scale with high temporal
frequency is important for agricultural water use and water resource planning. Identifying the differences
between potential ET ...
Continuous application of conservation tillage affects in situ N2O emissions and nitrogen cycling gene abundances following nitrogen fertilization
Fertilized agricultural soils can be a major source of soil nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions to the atmosphere. Conservative soil management may have the ability to reduce N2O emissions through affecting a number of ...
FAO/ICARDA webinars on measuring evapotranspiration - now open
The webinars cover a number of evapotranspiration measurement themes including underlining the time and space scale of measurement applications and analyzing their accuracy and suitability for use in arid and semi-arid ...
Diagnosis of the current state of conservation agriculture in Morocco and economic review
Morocco, as all North African countries, is highly vulnerable to the consequences of climate change because of its strong exposure to increases in temperature, changes in freshwater availability, and population growth. ...
Managing Scarce Water Resources in the Drylands of West Asia and North Africa: Review of Joint Research between ICARDA and Japanese Researchers
In the arid regions of the world, maintaining economic and efficient crop production has been among
the most critical challenges. In this context, International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry
Area (ICARDA) ...
