Improving Water Productivity in Agricultural Systems, April 24 – May 12, 2016
Water is the major limiting factor for agricultural production in the dry areas of Central and West
Asia and North Africa (CWANA). Agriculture accounts for around 80% of water consumption in the
region, however, the rapidly ...
The effect of fertilizer use on rain-fed barley: A case study from Syria
The objectives of this paper are to document the effect of fertilizer use on rain-fed barley, appraise its impact and appropriateness, and estimate a diffusion model for that technology.
Preliminary planning for reclaimed water reuse for agricultural irrigation in the province of Girona, Catalonia (Spain)
The province of Girona (Catalonia, Spain) is not an area where there is a structural defi cit of
water. There are certain problems and restrictions connected with climatic conditions and with
special seasonal factors related ...
Demonstration and promotion of improved food barley, bread wheat and faba bean technologies
Over the past two to three decades, on-farm trials and demonstration and popularization of improved crop production technologies have been undertaken in several potential areas to promote improved crop technologies and ...
Agricultural water productivity for rainfed areas in 2006
Agricultural Water Productivity (WPM) (kg/m3) was determined for each pixel by dividing crop productivity (kg/ha) raster layer by seasonal crop water use in terms of actual evapotranspiration (m3/ha) raster layer.The WPM ...

Farming with alternative pollinators increases yields and incomes of cucumber and sour cherry
Pollinator decline is acknowledged worldwide and constitutes a major subject of environmental research. Nevertheless, farmers’ efforts to protect pollinators in agricultural lands remain very limited, in particular if no ...
Responsiveness of chickpea to climate change
Appropriate changes in the genetic options are needed to cope up with the changing climate and farming
system to ensure food security and sustainable cereal production for the ever growing populations in
developing world. ...
Chickpea Landraces: A Valuable and Divergent Source for Drought Tolerance
Chickpea incurs heavy yield losses due to terminal heat and drought as it is largely grown under rainfed restricted
irrigated conditions on residual soil moisture. The narrow genetic base among cultivated chickpea accessions ...
