Improving wheat stripe rust resistance in Central Asia and the Caucasus
Wheat is the most important cereal in Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan) and the Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia). Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. ...
Mulching and water quality effects on soil salinity and sodicity dynamics and cotton productivity in Central Asia
Water scarcity and the predicted impact of climate change will necessitate the use of alternate available water resources in agriculture, such as saline water, to narrow the gap between demand and supply of freshwater. ...
Simulating water use and N response of winter wheat in the irrigated floodplains of Northwest Uzbekistan
The crop-soil simulation model CropSyst was used to simulate growth, water- and N-uptakes of irrigated winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Kupava) in Khorezm, in the dry lands of northwest Uzbekistan, Central Asia. ...
Improved Policy Making for Sustainable Farming: A Case Study on Irrigated Dryland Agriculture in Western Uzbekistan
A stochastic model was developed to explore policy scenarios designed to address the long-term sustainability of the farming sector in Western Uzbekistan. The model results evidence the need to move away from high input ...
Reducing topsoil salinity and raising carbon stocks through afforestation in Khorezm, Uzbekistan
Agricultural mismanagement of irrigated drylands results in severe soil degradation Afforestation is an option for ameliorating such degraded land We evaluated the impact afforestation has on the topsoil (0-20 cm) of ...
