Mechanized raised-bed irrigation: Production package
This project aimed at up-scaling the field-tested
Mechanized Raised-Bed Irrigation (MRBI)
production package in Egypt, focusing on
small-scale farming systems (see Box for explanation
of MRBI). The package included access ...
Women, Irrigation and Social Norms in Egypt
New research from Egypt demonstrates that women play a far more active role in irrigation than previously thought. Yet women’s contributions to irrigation remain poorly understood and undervalued, limiting their access to ...
Evolution of Crop Water Productivity in the Nile Delta over Three Decades (1985-2015)
Estimating crop water productivity (CWP) for spatially variable climatic conditions in Egypt is important for the redistribution of crop planting to optimize production per unit of water consumed. The current paper aims ...
Wheat leaf and stem rusts in the Nile Valley and Red Sea region: Incidence, spore movement, pathotypes and effective resistance genes.
Research on wheat rusts started in the 1988/89 growing season in Nile Valley and Red Sea Regional Program (NVRSRP), with available resources from the countries involved. It was further strengthened when the Netherlands ...
Resource Management in the New Lands of Egypt: Soil Fertility and Management
Limited soil and water resources and threatened sustainability of agricultural production call for an effective resource management strategy and farming systems approach in agricultural research. Implementing a long-term ...
Systems approach to water productivity assessment using cropping system Models
Irrigation management of crops in Egypt is characterized by the application of more water than the crops require. In fact, large amounts of water are supplied without any estimates of the soil water content at the root ...
Enhancing Food Security in Arab Countries
A research for development initiative working across ten countries to raise wheat production and reduce the Arab World’s growing dependence on costly wheat imports.
