Pathogenic and genetic diversity of Didymella rabiei affecting chickpea in Syria
Simple sequence repeats and mating type markers were used to estimate the genetic diversity of 133
Didymella rabiei isolates collected from nine provinces of Syria. Moreover, phenotyping was done on 56
isolates randomly ...
Nitrogen management in grasslands and forage-based production systems – Role of biological nitrification inhibition (BNI)
Nitrogen (N), the most critical and essential nutrient for plant growth, largely determines the productivity in both extensive
and
intensive grassland systems. Nitrification and denitrification processes in the soil are ...
Biomass in crop-livestock systems in the context of the livestock revolution
Mixed crop-livestock systems are the dominant source of livelihood supporting more
than 80% of people living in the developing world and producing 50% of world
cereals, around 34% of the global beef production and about ...

The CGIAR Research Program on Dryland Agricultural Production Systems that is led by ICARDA, is moving forward with a series of implementation workshops, where the research teams will design workplans, set priorities and ...
A paradigm shift towards low-nitrifying production systems: the role of biological nitrification inhibition (BNI)
BACKGROUND:
Agriculture is the single largest geo-engineering initiative that humans have initiated on planet Earth, largely through the introduction of unprecedented amounts of reactive nitrogen (N) into ecosystems. A ...
