GM Crops, Organic Agriculture and Breeding for Sustainability
The ongoing debate about the use of genetically-modified (GM) crops in
agriculture has largely focused on food safety and genetic contamination issues. Given that
the majority of GM crops have been produced to respond to ...
Wheat and barley seed system in Syria: How diverse are wheat and barley varieties and landraces from farmer’s fields?
The present study described the diversity of wheat and barley varieties and
landraces available in farmer’s fields in Syria using different indicators. Analysis
of spatial and temporal diversity and coefficient of parentage ...
Development of Salinity Models by Remote Sensing in Central and Southern Iraq
This technical report series captures and documents the work in progress of the Iraq Salinity Project, in its seven research themes, working at the regional, farm and irrigation system scales. Technical reports feed into ...
