Rehabilitation and Integrated Management of Dry Rangelands Environments with Water Harvesting
The Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region encompasses large areas of arid and semi-arid zones. These zones may be defined as areas where rainfall, relative to the level of evapotranspiration, is inadequate ...
Chickpea Ascochyta Blight: Disease Status and Pathogen Mating Type Distribution in Syria
Chickpea fields were surveyed in nine major chickpeagrowing
provinces of Syria in 2008 and 2009 to determine
the prevalence and severity of Ascochyta blight,
and the distribution of Didymella rabiei mating types
(MATs) in ...
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 ...
Technical Manual on Quality Seed Production of Lentil
This manual would fulfil the knowledge gaps for the farmer to produce quality seed of lentil. Extension staff are expected to take advantage of this manual in extending the key techniques to the seed growers more effectively.
Frequency of mutations associated with fungicide resistance and population structure of Mycosphaerella graminicola in Tunisia
The occurrence of fungicide resistance in Mycosphaerella graminicola populations from Tunisia was investigated by examining mutations known to be associated with strobilurin and azole resistance. Few mutations associated ...
An agronomic, economic and behavioral analysis of N application to cotton and wheat in post-Soviet Uzbekistan
Cotton and winter wheat play a vital role in Uzbek agriculture: the first crop is a vital component of the national export revenues, while the latter is key in achieving independence from grain imports. Due to these strategic ...

Comparison of transient state models that include salinity and matric stress effects on plant yield
Transient-state models that account for continually changing salinity and matric stress on crop yields have been developed by several research groups. The objective of this research was to compare the simulated yields of ...
Congruence between selection on breeding values and farmers' selection criteria in sheep breeding under conventional nucleus breeding schemes
Designing breeding schemes suitable for smallholder livestock production systems in developing regions has hitherto been a challenge. The suggested schemes either do not address farmers' breeding goals (centralized ...
Should agricultural research in Central Asia and Caucasus (CAC) re-prioritize its agenda with view to climate change?
Impact of climate change on the clockwork of agro-ecosystems. ▶ pollinators as key agents of any climate change adaptation of agro-ecosystems at risks. ▶ Impact of climate change on mountain agriculture.Temperatures in ...
