Factors affecting the grain yield predicting attributes of spectral reflectance indices in durum wheat: growing conditions, genotype variability and date of measurement
The sources of variation (environment, genotype and date of measurement) of spectral reflectance indices describing biomass and its physiological status, and their potential use for providing accurate and non‐destructive ...
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 ...
Effect of leaf structure and water status on carbon isotope discrimination in field‐grown durum wheat
The relationships between leaf and kernel carbon isotope discriminations (Delta) and several leaf structural parameters that are indicators of photosynthetic capacity were studied in durum wheat grown in the field under ...
Heritability estimates in contrasting environments as influenced by the adaptation level of barley germ plasm
Low heritability estimates in marginal or stress environments have often been used as one of the main justification for conducting selection work in environments with optimum or near‐optimum conditions for plant growth and ...
Agro·ecological zones of Karkheh River Basin: A reconnaissance assessment of climatic and edaphic patterns and their similarity to areas inside and outside the Basin
CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food - Improving livelihood resilience by integrated natural resource management in upper catchments of dry areas (pn24) and improving on-farm agricultural water productivity in the ...
Drought management and planning strategies in semi-arid and arid agro-pastoral systems of West Asia and North Africa: A review
This study showed that indigenous and local community strategies of drought management are no longer effective in coping with drought and the action plans that have been launched by the governments to manage this climatic ...
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 ...
Screening for Drought Resistance in Spring Chickpea in the Mediterranean Region
Even though chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is well adapted to growing on stored soil moisture in drought-prone environments, drought is a major yield reducer in most chickpea-growing regions. Little progress has been made ...
Improving agricultural water productivity: A necessary response to water scarcity and climate change in dry areas
Water resources in the dry areas are limited. Most of the available water is tapped and only limited new water is expected from non-conventional sources. As more water will be needed for other priority sectors, less water ...
Water Benchmarks of CWANA project: Monitoring and Evaluation Plan
The comprehensive project consists of three main projects: the Badia Benchmark Project in Jordan, which includes two satellite projects in Saudi Arabia and Libya, the Rainfed Benchmark Project in Morocco, which includes ...
