Barley and Vetch yields from dryland rotations with varying tillage and residue management under Mediterranean conditions
With increasing land-use pressure in semi-arid, dryland Middle Eastern agriculture, fallow-based cereal production has given way to cropping intensification, including legume-based rotations along with conservation tillage ...
On-Farm Assessment of Improved Crop Production Practices in Northwest Syria. I. Chickpea
Thirty on-farm trials were conducted in northwest Syria over a period of four seasons to examine the main effects and interaction of sowing date, sowing method, Rhizobium inoculation, phosphate application and weed control ...
Proceedings of the International Workshop on: Improving Water Productivity and Livelihood Resilience in Karkheh River Basin in Iran
A two-day international workshop on “Improving Water Productivity and Livelihood Resilience in Karkheh River Basin” was jointly organized by ICARDA and AREO 10-11 September, 2007 in Karaj, Iran, and the presentations are ...
Seed Info No. 35
Seed Info aims to stimulate information exchange among seed staff in the Central and West Asia and
North Africa (CWANA) region. The purpose is to help strengthen national seed programs, and thus improve the supply of quality ...
Advances In Disease-Resistance Breeding In Chickpea
This chapter reviews the past work on disease resistance breeding in chickpea and discusses the strategies to tackle unsolved disease problems. Methods for breeding disease-resistant chickpea cultivars are similar to those ...
Effect of Irrigation on Winter‐Sown Chickpea in a Mediterranean Environment
In the dry Mediterranean environments of the West Asia and North Africa region, irrigation is frequently used to supplement rainfall to increase crop productivity and yield stability. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), an ...
Effect of nitrogen source and salinity level on salt accumulation of two chickpea genotypes
This study aimed at investigating mechanisms of salt tolerance and ionic relations of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cultivars with different nitrogen (N) sources. Two resistant genotypes, ILC‐205 and ILC‐1919, were subjected ...
Wilt/root rot diseases of chickpea in Ethiopia
Research work on wilt/root rot diseases of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in Ethiopia is reviewed. The five important wilt/root rot diseases in Ethiopia are wilt, dry root rot, wet root rot, black root rot and collar rot, ...
Vesicular-Arbuscular Mycorrhiza and Phosphorus Uptake of Chickpea Grown in Northern Syria
Inoculation with vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (VAMF) improved growth of chick-pea (Cicer arielinum L.) and doubled phosphorus (P) uptake at low and intermediate levels of P fertilization in a pot experiment on ...
Long-Term Cereal-Based Rotation Trials in the Mediterranean Region: Implications for Cropping Sustainability
With increasing global populations particularly in developing countries, and a limited or even shrinking supply of arable land, the challenge to agriculture is to meet the world's food and fiber needs without reducing the ...
