Adoption and impacts of improved varieties and seed demand analysis
There is very limited information about the national level adoption of improved wheat varieties in Morocco. With the exception of some estimates based on secondary data, the same is true for household, regional and national ...
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 ...
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 ...
Rapid Deployment of Rust-resistant Wheat Varieties: ICARDA’s Experience and Lessons Learned
ICARDA in collaboration with CIMMYT and/or NARS has developed a number of multi-lateral and bilateral projects to counter the threat of stem rust and yellow rust. This paper summarizes ICARDA’s experiences and lessons ...
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 ...
Global Journeys of Adaptive Wheat Genes
Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is grown across a wide range of environments having been selected in part for a complex of genes controlling adaptive response. As a major determinant of crop yield, adaptation is central ...
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 ...
Plant Nutrient Management in Rainfed Farming Systems
Global population growth and land-use pressure are placing increasing emphasis on expanding crop and animal output in rainfed agriculture. Rainfed areas of the world have some common features, but some unique biophysical ...
Wheat pests: insects, mites, and prospects for the future
Wheat pests are the subject of this chapter and the previous one. There are four major taxa of wheat pests. Rodents and nematodes were discussed in the previous chapter. Insects and mites are discussed in this chapter. ...
Potential use of treated wastewater for supplemental irrigation of cereals Algeria
This report explores the different aspects of using treated wastewater as a source of supplemental irrigation for enhancing productivity under rainfed conditions in Algeria.
