Supplemental Irrigation: A Promising Climate-resilience Practice for Sustainable Dryland Agriculture
Around 80 % of the world’s agricultural land is rainfed, and contributes to at least two-thirds of global food production. About 41 % of the Earth’s land area is classi- fied as dryland (ISPC 2015), wherein the farming ...
Diagnosis of the current state of conservation agriculture in Morocco and economic review
Morocco, as all North African countries, is highly vulnerable to the consequences of climate change because of its strong exposure to increases in temperature, changes in freshwater availability, and population growth. ...
On-farm water energy food carbon-footprint nexus index for quantitative assessment of integrated resources management for wheat farming in Egypt
To improve the farming efficiency, Egypt has been struggling to narrow the water, energy, and yield gaps owing to exacerbated water shortage. For quantitative diagnosis of farming performance, the paper presented an on-farm ...
Ultra-Low Energy Drip Irrigation for MENA Countries Drip Irrigation in Morocco
While drip irrigation has been hailed as a promising solution to Morocco’s water shortage problems, current adoption rates have been quite low, with some watersheds reporting an adoption rate as low as 10% (Jobbins et al., ...
Ultra-Low Energy Drip Irrigation for MENA Countries_ Quarterly Report – October-December 2019
The objective of the Ultra-Low Energy Drip Irrigation for MENA Countries project is to design and field validate ultra-low pressure drip irrigation systems for the MENA region in the field, for young and mature olive and ...
Comparative study of the hydraulic, energy and agronomic performances of conventional and low pressure drip irrigation on citrus
In countries facing water scarcity, drip irrigation can raise crop productivity and save water
compared to flood irrigation. In spite of its benefit, the adoption of drip irrigation is still low
mainly due to the high cost ...
Diversified Cropping System: Relay Intercropping of Lentils with Onions (Morocco)
A Diversified Cropping System (DCS) results in more resilient and intensive cropping. In
this case, the cash crop of onions was introduced as an intercrop for lentils. The yield of
lentils is not reduced; hence the system ...
Diversified Cropping System: Relay Intercropping of Lentils with Chickpeas [Morocco]
A Diversified Cropping System (DCS) results in a more resilient and productive cropping
system. In this case, chickpeas were introduced as a relay intercrop between established
lines of lentils. This not only had no negative ...
