Spineless cactus in the Arabian Peninsula: adaptive behaviors and production performances
Limited water resources are the main challenge facing agricultural developments in dry areas. Thus improving the crops water use efficiency (WUE) is considered the greatest one. In an attempt to alleviate feed shortages ...
Determination of Irrigation Depths using a Numerical Model and Weather Forecast
Effect of a scheme of determining irrigation depth using numerical simulation for crop response to irrigation and weather forecast was tested for wheat cultivation in the semi-arid region of Jordan. Drip irrigation system, ...
تحليل اقتصادي لتبني تقنية الري بالتنقيط تحت السطحي في العراق
هدفت هذه الدراسة الى التعرف على العوامل المؤثرة في تبني تقنية الري تحت السطحي والتنبؤ بالمدة الزمنية التي تتطلبها التقنية للانتشار على مدى واسع من المزارعين، وذلك عند تطبيق هذه التقنية على مجموعة من مزارعي محصول الخيار في ...
Restoring Degraded Rangelands in Jordan: Optimizing Mechanized Micro Water Harvesting Technique Using Rangeland Hydrology and Erosion Model (RHEM)
Jordan’s rangelands, the so called Badia, home of the Bedouins, are threatened through a combination of over-exploitation of the ecosystem services and a changing climate towards drier seasons and highly erratic rainfalls. ...
Improved Jameed Processing for Small Scale Sheep Dairy Farms in Jordan
Jameed is an important dairy product in Jordan that has been produced in the region
for centuries and used as a main ingredient in popular traditional cuisine called Mansaf.
Jameed is a hard dry skimmed yogurt, mainly ...
Effect of simulated irrigation in wheat cultivation in Jordan
To enhance net income from limited water resources, Fujimaki et al. (2014) presented a scheme for determining irrigation depth using a numerical model of crop response to irrigation and quantitative weather forecast. To ...
Crop breeding for the development of climate resilient crops: Approaches at ICARDA
Crop production has been challenged by abiotic and biotic constraints since its inception. However, the magnitude and intensity of these stresses are increasing dramatically due to climate change causing recurrent droughts, ...
International Winter Wheat Improvement Program: Diversifying Genetic Basis for Resistance to Abiotic and Biotic Stresses.
The International Winter Wheat Improvement Program (www.iwwip.org) is a partnership between the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock of Turkey, CIMMYT and ICARDA to develop new winter wheat varieties for the region ...
Evaluation of Opuntia ficus-indica as a multi-purpose species under west Asia conditions
The agronomic potential of Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill. a multi-purpose crop is becoming increasingly apparent in arid and semi-arid regions. Nevertheless, the main limitation for the adaptation and distribution of O. ...
