Effect of Tillage System on the Spontaneous Regeneration of Two Annual Medics (Medicago Spp.) After Wheat in North Syria
Four tillage treatments were applied to soil on which wheat was to be sown in 1988/89 after pastures of two annual medics, Medicago rigidula and M. polymorpha, had been established in 1987/88. Germination of the medics was ...
Spatial Modelling of the Biophysical Potential for Supplemental Irrigation: Methodology and a Case Study in Syria
This study describes a modelling methodology for using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) tools to identify potential areas for the introduction of supplemental irrigation. In their most simple concept, such areas would ...
Nitrate‐n test as a guide to N fertilization of Weat in the mediterranean region
Forty factorial experiments with 4 levels of N (0, 40, 80, and 120 kg N/ha and 4 levels of P (0, 8.8, 17.5, and 35 kg P/ha) with two replicates were conducted in farmers’ fields during two consecutive seasons in 1987 and ...
Characterization of quantitative trait loci controlling genetic variation for preharvest sprouting in synthetic backcross-derived wheat lines
Aegilops lauschii, the wild relative of wheat, has stronger seed dormancy, a major component of preharvest sprouting resistance (PHSR), than bread wheat. A diploid Ae. lanschii accession (AUS18836) and a tetraploid (Triticum ...

Genetic and QTL analyses of seed dormancy and preharvest sprouting resistance in the wheat germplasm CN10955
The inheritance and genetic linkage analysis for seed dormancy and preharvest sprouting (PHS) resistance were carried out in an F-8 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from the cross between CN19055 (white-grained, ...
Food, income, and livelihoods: Impact of new agricultural technologies in Africa
Egypt, Ethiopia, Sudan and Yemen have a combined population of 195 million, of whom 72% live in rural areas. All four economies are largely agriculture-based; but most farmers use traditional crop varieties and farming ...

News from CGIAR Collaborative Research Program for Sustainable Agricultural Development in Central Asia and the Caucasus (CAC) covering the countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, ...
Ties that Bind: Jordan and ICARDA. 30 years of partnership for sustainable agriculture
Collaboration between ICARDA and Jordan began when ICARDA was established in 1977. A bilateral agreement was signed on 27 October that year. The first Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed with the Ministry of ...
Optimizing supplemental irrigation: Tradeoffs between profitability and sustainability
Water production functions are used to model yield response to various levels of supplemental irrigation (SI), to assess water productivity coefficients, and to identify optimum irrigation under various input–output price ...
