In vitro New Approaches for Shortening of Generation Cycles and Faster Breeding of Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.)
Flowering is a complex process regulated by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) grows as long day plant under natural conditions with single breeding cycle per annum. There ...
Descriptive Analysis of the Economic and Social Factors of Cucumber Farmers in Baghdad Governorate (Adopting and Non-Adopting Sub-Surface Irrigation Techniques)
The objective of this study was to identify the economic and social characteristics of cucumber farmers in the study area. The random sample included farmers from Abu Ghraib district and Yusufiya, Baghdad governorate, which ...
Bio-economic efficiency of creep supplementation of forage legumes or concentrate in pasture-based lamb production system
Supplemental feeding of lambs with forage legumes or grains provides a potential option to increase proportion of prime lambs and profitability in intensive pasture-based lamb production systems. A two-year study in the ...
Genetic Analysis of Grain Yield and it's Components for some Populations of Faba Bean
The recurrent selection was applied on four F2 populations of faba bean at Terbol research station (ICARDA)- Lebanon, during 2013 summer season, advanced F3 populations were evaluated during 2013-2014 winter season to ...
An Agro-economic Comparison between Dwarf and Long Green Beans Production with Soilless Production System under Greenhouse Condition in UAE
Green bean is an important vegetable crop grown in open field and under greenhouse condition in the Arabian Peninsula (AP) Region. ICARDA previous studies show that the yield and water productivity of the green beans in ...
Evaluation of Awassi sheep genotypes for growth, milk production and milk composition
We evaluated growth, milk production and composition of Awassi genotypes based on 9 years data collected from the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) flock kept in Tal Hadya station, ...
Selecting Lentil Accessions for Global Selenium Biofortification
The biofortification of lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus.) has the potential to provide adequate daily selenium (Se) to human diets. The objectives of this study were to (1) determine how low-dose Se fertilizer application ...
Are Development Projects Pursuing Short-Term Benefits at the Expense of Sustainability?
When evaluated purely on financial grounds, most developmental interventions targeting the livestock sector exhibit a positive impact. This study also provides empirical evidence that a project which provided loans to ...
Biomass yield and feeding value of rye, triticale, and wheat straw produced under a dual-purpose management system
Dual-purpose management of winter cereals for grazing and grain production provides highly nutritive forage for ruminants in the spring and may positively affect straw feeding value. A 2-yr study investigated the effect ...
Genome-wide association study for agronomic and physiological traits in spring wheat evaluated in a range of heat prone environments
We undertook large-scale genetic analysis to determine marker-trait associations (MTAs) underlying agronomic and physiological performance in spring wheat using genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Field trials were ...
