Yield gain due to fungicide application in varieties of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) resistant and susceptible to leaf rust
In three independent experiments in Turkey and Kazakhstan, winter wheat germplasm with variable degrees of resistance to leaf rust was subjected to fungicide protection. The yield loss of genotypes susceptible to leaf rust ...
Measuring the Impacts of Conservation Tillage (CT) on Household Income and Wheat Consumption: A Syrian Case
This study aims at assessing the impacts of conservation tillage (CT) on household income and wheat consumption among Syrian farmers. Analysis is based on 621 wheat producing farmers in Syria. The propensity score-matching ...
Reliable high-throughput Phenotyping Tools to assess Adaptive Traits for Wheat in Drought Environments
This project successfully demonstrated the value of ICARDA’s elite drought nurseries for the CWANA region and highlighted the opportunity to breed for specific adaptations. The great environmental diversity of the CWANA ...
Physiologic specialization of Puccinia triticina in Syria
Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina Eriks., is one of the major diseases of wheat in Syria. Surveys of durum wheat fields were carried out in all durum wheat growing regions in Syria during 2010. A total of 120 samples ...
The CGIAR Collaborative Research & Capacity Building Program for the Development of Sustainable and Resilient Agricultural Production Systems in Central Asia under the Conditions of Changing Climate_Progress Report 2013 - 2015
Highlights of progress made in 2013‐2015
By some estimates, over 70 per cent of the lands in the region are arid and semi‐arid. Salinity, frost,
heat, drought, and diseases are major constraints to crop production in Central ...
ICARDA’S Genebank Resources and Activities: A Vital Tool in Ensuring a Food-Secure Future for Dryland Communities
Agrobiodiversity is one of the world’s most precious resources for ensuring food security as climate change, globally diminishing natural resource base and rapidly growing population pose an unprecedented challenge to feed ...
Seed Info No. 48
Seed Info aims to stimulate information exchange and regular communication among seed staff in the Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region and beyond. Its purpose is to help strengthen national seed programs ...
Potential legume alternatives to fallow and wheat monoculture for Mediterranean environments
Growing populations and intensification of land-use in West Asia and North Africa (WANA) are prompting
a need for viable alternatives to fallow and cereal mono-cropping systems common in dry areas of this region. ...
Evaluation of wheat genetic resources of Azerbaijan on normal and saline fields
Genetic variation is a key to successful crop improvement. This study was conducted to evaluate a set of 48 accessions and two controls of hexaploid winter wheat from the gene bank of the Genetic Resources Institute ...
High yielding wheat varieties with heat and drought tolerance
Wheat is an important food crop globally is facing serious threats from impacts of climate change, such as rising temperatures, recurring droughts and floods, and emergence of new pests and diseases like stripe rust, yellow ...
