Multi environment evaluation of chickpea disease nurseries (wilt, Aschochyta blight and Botrytis grey mold) to identify stable and new sources of resistance
Under the ICRISAT- ICAR collaboration, disease nurseries of wilt (ICWN), AB (IABN) and BGM (IBGMN) consisting of 30 entries (28 resistant cultivars and 2 susceptible checks) were evaluated at different locations (hot spots) ...
Microstructure and palygorskite neoformation in pedogenic calcretes of central Morocco
The aim of this research was the micromorphological and mineralogical characterization of calcrete outcrops located in central Morocco, with particular focus on microstructure development and palygorskite formation processes. ...
What works or does not work in spreading improved varieties to women (based on evidence of women benefitting through specific approaches) in context of gender-segregated cultures
The presentation presents a tool related to improving women's access to agricultural technologies in gender-segregated cultures.
Problem soils in cool season food legumes- Current knowledge and future prospects
Problem soils impose various stresses on plants and reduce crop yield significantly. As a
sizeable area under food legume crops falls under the problem soils, development of tolerant
varieties and appropriate agronomic ...
We Need Youth! Small mechanization to preserve Moroccan Oases
The University of Florence, in collaboration with the University of Moulay Ismail and ICARDA, proposed the
introduction of small machines as a possible solution to reduce the drudgery of farm work, facilitate field
operations, ...
Sources of resistance in the existing breeding germplasm will be identified for incorporation in the elite cultivar/variety
In order to identify new sources of resistance to net blotch, a FIGS subset consisting of 96 barley accessions was screened with a mixture of 20-isolates of net blotch collected from different agro-climatic regions of ...
Farmers Have Too Low Knowledge to Protect and Benefit from Native Pollinators – Insight from Morocco
In 2016 The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) showed that agricultural production is now twice as dependent on pol- linators than five decades ago, but pollinator ...
Improving the date production chain in the Moroccan oases through small mechanization inputs to support the governmental development strategies
Moroccan oases as other Saharan oases are a highly artificial ecosystem that have proved to be capable
of sustaining agriculture under arid climatic conditions for centuries, though it has suffered a strong
degradation ...
AFESD-ICARDA: A strategic partnership for developing the capacity of Young Scientists in Arab Countries
Capacity development is one of ICARDA’s core priorities. A four-decade partnership
with the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development (AFESD) has equipped
thousands of trainees with crucial new knowledge and skills – ...
Regular updating of the crossing block with new barley varieties for conducting the crossing program of winter barley for different breeding objectives
The new sources of abiotic and biotic stresses have also been identified after evaluation through collaboration with NARS for phenotyping at diverse environments. Crossing blocks (CB) of barley 480 germplasm for spring ...
