Assessment of long-term barley–legume rotations in a typical Mediterranean agro-ecosystem: grain and straw yields
Traditional Mediterranean rainfed cereal/fallow systems are being replaced by cereal monoculture due to land-use pressure. Food or forage legumes in rotation with cereals are an alternative sustainable cropping system. ...
Identifying Superior Rainfed Barley Genotypes in Farmers' Fields Using Participatory Varietal Selection
This study was carried out to identify superior barley genotypes for the rainfed areas of western Iran using a participatory varietal selection (PVS) approach. Three field experiments were conducted in two randomly selected ...
Strategies help farmers cope with climate change. استراتيجيات تساعد المزارعين على التكيف مع التغير المناخي
This project aims to make research results rapidly available to resource-poor farmers and policy makers. This will help them better understand climate change and how to deal with it, and give them access to a range of ...
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.
Syria - Participatory barley breeding—farmers’ input becomes everyone’s gain
Kherbet El Dieb, north of Aleppo, is one of 24 Syrian villages involved in a participatory plant breeding (PPB) initiative started by the International Center for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA). Yields there ...
Genome Wide Association Analyses For Drought Tolerance Related Traits In Barley (Hordeum Vulgare L.)
Genome wide association (GWA) analysis of yield, yield components, developmental, physiological and anatomical traits was conducted for a barley germplasm collection consisting 01 185 cultivated (Hordeum vulgare L) and 38 ...
Improving Rainwater Productivity with Supplemental Irrigation in Upper Karkheh River Basin of Iran
The Karkheh River Basin (KRB) is located in the south-western parts of Iran. Most of the agricultural area in the upper KRB is rainfed and a large part of the region’s agricultural livelihood is based on dryland farming ...
Barley Research and Development in Ethiopia. Proceedings of the 2nd National Barley Research and Development Review Workshop.
Barley is thought to have originated in the Fertile Crescent area of the Near East from the wild progenitor Hordeum spontaneum. It is one of the first cereals to have been domesticated, having been cultivated for more than ...
Predictive Association between Biotic Stress Traits and Eco-Geographic Data for Wheat and Barley Landraces
Collections of crop genetic resources are a valuable source of new genetic variation for economically important traits, including resistance to crop diseases. New sources of useful crop traits are often identified through ...
Current Status of Agro-biodiversity in Lebanon and Future Challenges
Though a small country, Lebanon hosts various ecosystems that allow for a large number of
plants ranging from cold requiring crops to subtropical ones to live and flourish. More than 80
plant species for food and agriculture ...
