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 ...
Assessment of the severity and impact of drought spells on rainfed cereals in Morocco
Drought is a major factor affecting cereal production in most the rainfed areas of West
Asia and North Africa. Recent increases in drought frequency in Morocco have resulted in
the yields of field crops being extremely ...
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). ...
Response of Peach, Plum and Almond to Water Restrictions Applied during Slowdown Periods of Fruit Growth
Water restrictions management for fruit rosaceous during slowdown periods of fruit growth can increase water use effi- ciency and improve fruit quality without reducing significantly their yield. In this context, two water ...
Biophysical and economic water productivity in dual purpose cattle farming
This study analyzes key factors influencing water productivity in cattle rearing, particularly in contexts characterized by water scarcity. This was done through year-round monitoring of on-farm practices within five smallholder ...
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 ...
