Rehabilitation and Integrated Management of Dry Rangelands Environments with Water Harvesting
The Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region encompasses large areas of arid and semi-arid zones. These zones may be defined as areas where rainfall, relative to the level of evapotranspiration, is inadequate ...
Water and land productivities of wheat and food legumes with deficit supplemental irrigation in a Mediterranean environment
Selecting appropriate crops and applying deficit irrigation can help increase water productivity in waterlimited
regions such as the Mediterranean. The objective of this study was to develop water production
functions of ...
Tillage system and genotype effects on early vigor and water use in bread wheat in the Mediterranean region
The southern part of the Mediterranean basin is among the regions that are characterized by recurrent
droughts and it is threatened by the effects of climate change. To deal with these problems in wheat,
improved techniques ...
Comparing productivity of landscape depressions in pastoral ecosystems of Jordan under different treatments
The dataset compares productivity of landscape depressions in pastoral ecosystems of Jordan under different treatments.
Durum Wheat Genotypic Variation of Yield and Nitrogen use Efficiency and Its Components Under Different Water and Nitrogen Regimes in the Mediterranean Region
Farmers in dry areas of the Mediterranean region are reluctant to apply nitrogen (N) fertilizer
to rainfed wheat because of frequent drought. So, it is desirable to select varieties with high nitrogen
use efficiency (NUE). ...
The use of the microcatchment water harvesting for fodder shrub production
The Badia constitutes about 90% of the total land area of Jordan, which is 89 342 km2. Its average annual rainfall is < 200 mm. The area with annual rainfall of 100–200 mm is considered the promising rangeland for ...
Effects of supplementary irrigation on Fusarium wilt epidemics and yield of lentil in northern Syria
Lentil (Lens culinaris) is a major legume crop in Syria where its productivity is low mainly due to Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lentis) and drought. Although Fusarium wilt resistant cultivars are being introduced ...
Assessment of wheat yield gap in the Mediterranean: Case studies from Morocco, Syria, and Turkey
The WANA region has 137 million hectares of arable land of which 35 million hectares are sown to wheat, mostly grown under rainfed conditions with productivity in the range of 0.5–1.5 t/ ha. Wheat products are integral ...
Combined effect of tillage system, supplemental irrigation and genotype on bread wheat yield and water use in the dry Mediterranean region
Approaches that can help reduce future water shortages and increase food production in the
Mediterranean region include the capture of more rainwater and better use of scarce irrigation water.
The objective of this study ...
