Rainfed benchmark Site selection and characterization
From these workshops and an analysis of project documentation, we can conclude that possibilities for the improvement of water use do exist. These improvements depend not only on technical aspects, but also on organization ...
An agronomic, economic and behavioral analysis of N application to cotton and wheat in post-Soviet Uzbekistan
Cotton and winter wheat play a vital role in Uzbek agriculture: the first crop is a vital component of the national export revenues, while the latter is key in achieving independence from grain imports. Due to these strategic ...
Management practices for improving water productivity in the Dasht-e-Azadegan
Wheat is the main cultivated crop in the LKRB (mainly the Dashte- Azadegan plain). Its average yield is 1500 kg/ha (Agricultural Statistics 2004). Irrigation management practices are traditional and the region suffers from ...
Enhancing soil fertility and irrigation management in the new lands
The new lands are represented by the El- Bustan area. The soils of the site are mostly sandy with low fertility and relatively low water holding capacity and crops are grown exclusively under irrigation using modern ...
Improving food security and coping with biotic and abiotic constraints using improved crop germplasm in Central Asia and the Caucasus
This presentation highlights:
1) Constraints to winter crop production under climate change.
2) Germplasm introduction.
3) Progress on yellow rust resistant wheat varieties.
4) Progress on salinity tolerant wheat.
5) ...
ICARDA-European Commission partnership (1990-2011)
This brief highlights cooperation between the European Commission and ICARDA for programs over the past two decades to improve food security and the livelihoods of rural populations in the world’s dry areas.
Hypericin from Hypericum triquetrifolium in wild and under cultivation: variation revealed by genetic distance
Hypericin content and genetic diversity were studied in 27 wild populations of Hypericum triquetnfolium in Jordan. The wild populations were explored from arid to semi-humid areas (176 to 582 mm), growing in varied altitude ...
Graphic Analysis of Trait Relations and Genotype Evaluation in Durum Wheat
Trait profiles of genotypes and trait relations are frequently influenced by unpredictable conditions in the Mediterranean rainfed regions. Thus, genotype selection should be based on multiple traits in variable environments ...
Economic evaluation and adoption of improved technologies
In this study, an economic evaluation of water-use efficiency technologies proposed and tested by the agronomic team in the Tadla Irrigated Perimeter was carried out. To capture climatic variability, the analysis was ...
Monitoring Soil Moisture under Wheat Growth through a Wireless Sensor Network in Dry Conditions
Drought research requires data on precipitation and actual soil moisture of fields because precipitation is variable among years and the soil textures differ with crop fields. Measurement of soil water content in the field ...
