Gathering Wisdom from the Field: Participatory Technology Development in Upper Karkheh River Basin, Iran
CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food
The project combined a large-scale analysis of the Karkheh River Basin, Iran, by GIS and rapid assessments, with detailed natural resources assessments, gender and livelihood ...
Forage and Food Legumes in a Multi‐Year, Wheat‐Based Rotation Under Drought‐Stressed Conditions in Northern Syria’s Medium Rainfall Zone
Long-term crop rotation trials were designed to assess sustainability of alternatives to traditional fallow and monocropping. The trial described here (6 years) involved wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in rotation with lentil ...
Returns to Policy-Oriented Agricultural Research: The Case of Barley Fertilization in Syria
In 1984, ICARDA and its Syrian partners initiated farming systems research that led to a change in national fertilizer allocation policy. Evidence is assessed on the policy influence of the fertilizer-response research and ...
The potential contribution of wild barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp. spontaneum) germplasm to drought tolerance of cultivated barley (H. vulgare ssp. vulgare)
Improving drought tolerance has always been an important objective in many crop improvement programs and is becoming more important as one way of adapting crops to climate changes. However, due to its complexity, the genetic ...
Invasion of Rhynchosporium commune onto wild barley in the Middle East
Rhynchosporium commune was recently introduced into the Middle East, presumably with the cultivated host barley (Hordeum vulgare). Middle Eastern populations of R. commune on cultivated barley and wild barley (H. spontaneum) ...
Marker-Assisted Recurrent Backcrossing in Cultivar Development
Marker-assisted recurrent backcrossing (MARS), the combined use of marker-assisted selection (MAS) and recurrent backcrossing, is a versatile method for plant breeding and genetic studies. The benefits of MARS are well ...
The feeding value of straw from different genotypes of barley when given to Awassi sheep
Barley straw constitutes up to half of the dry-matter intake of Awassi sheep in areas of Syria where the rainfall is 200 to 350 mm. The genotype of barley planted could therefore, through the nutritive value of its straw, ...
