study at two sites in the Euphrates Basin, we aimed at (i) evaluating the potential of ...
ICARDA Results Framework 2017–2026
A key component of the overall implementation of the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) Strategic Plan 2017-2026 is the development of a Results Framework that provides the road map ...
Improving Water Productivity in the Dry Areas of West Asia and North Africa
In the dry areas, water, not land, is the limiting factor in improving agricultural production. Maximizing water productivity, and not yield per unit of land, is therefore a better strategy for on-farm water man- agement ...
Economic Impact of International and National Lentil Improvement Research in Developing Countries
Lentils, one of humanity’s oldest food crops, originated in the Fertile Crescent of the Near East (Webb and Hawtin, 1981). As a food, lentils provide valuable protein and, unlike several other food legumes, few anti-nutritional ...
