Safe movement of food and forage crops germplasm: ICARDA’s experience in the Arab region
Germplasm exchange for research and breeding purposes is essential for crop improvement in the face of climate change and population growth. To contribute towards achieving sustainable development goals, the germplasm ...
The Role of Early Sowing with Supplemental Irrigation in Cool Highland Environments
The per capita wheat consumption in the Central and West Asia and North
Africa (CWANA) region is the highest in the world. Therefore, the crop occupies a major share
of arable land annually in the region-as much as 70% of ...
Characterization and distribution of Pseudomonas syringae pv. syrinae on wheat in Syria
Bacterial leaf blight, caused by Pseudomonas syringae, threaten wheat production in many regions. Approximately 500 wheat leaf samples showing symptoms suggestive of bacterial infections were collected from 107 fields in ...
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 ...
Importance of agrobiodiversity and options for promoting its onfarm conservation and sustainable use: Case of West Asia dryland agrobiodiversity project
West Asia encompasses the mega-center of diversity of species of global importance (wheat, barley, lentil, and many forage legume and fruit tree species) whose conservation will contribute to sustaining agriculture and ...
Shifting from Aerial to Ground Spraying for Sunn Pest Control: Farmers' Perceptions and Problems
Turkish government has been changing Sunn Pest control policy by shifting from aerial to ground
spraying. The Thrace Region is a major cereal growing area and in 2002 and 2003 no aerial spraying for Sunn
Pest was done. Our ...
Epidemiology and management of legume and cereal viruses in Arab and Mediterranean regions
In the Arab and Mediterranean regions, cool-season food legumes (chickpea, faba bean, lentil and pea) are infected naturally by many viruses, and the number of viruses involved continues to increase. However, at any specific ...
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 ...
Identifying crown rot (Fusarium culmorum) tolerant genotypes in wheat by using the RGB image-based vegetation indexes
Identifying crown rot (Fusarium culmorum) tolerant genotypes in wheat by using the RGB image-based vegetation indexes. VIIIth Cereal Nematodes Symposium, Abant-Bolu, Turkey, 21-25 September, 2022, pp. 207-211
