Management practices for improving water productivity in the Dasht-e-Azadegan
Wheat is the main cultivated crop in the LKRB (mainly the Dashte- Azadegan plain). Its average yield is 1500 kg/ha (Agricultural Statistics 2004). Irrigation management practices are traditional and the region suffers from ...
Effect of protection on plant community dynamics in the Mediterranean arid zone of southern Tunisia: a case study from Bou Hedma national park
Ecosystems protected from heavy grazing impacts, such as national parks and refuges, are generally considered to sustain higher plant species diversity and better ecosystem composition and structure compared to heavily ...
Tannin free lentils: A promising development for specialty use and increased value
Tannin free lentils have been developed and are now available for production over a wide area in North America. The trait is controlled by a single recessive gene that eliminates tannin precursors in the seeds thereby ...
Syria - Participatory barley breeding—farmers’ input becomes everyone’s gain
Kherbet El Dieb, north of Aleppo, is one of 24 Syrian villages involved in a participatory plant breeding (PPB) initiative started by the International Center for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA). Yields there ...
Environmental factors of spatial distribution of soil salinity on flat irrigated terrain
Inefficient irrigation and the excessive use ofwater on agricultural land in the Aral Sea Basin over several decades
have led to saline soils. The main objective of this paper is to identify the environmental predictors ...
Plant Nutrient Management in Rainfed Farming Systems
Global population growth and land-use pressure are placing increasing emphasis on expanding crop and animal output in rainfed agriculture. Rainfed areas of the world have some common features, but some unique biophysical ...
Combining current land use and farmers’ knowledge to design land-use requirements and improve land suitability evaluation
Land suitability analysis is very important to assess and propose the most suitable land-use options. The reliability of land suitability evaluation is controlled by choosing the most limiting land characteristics and their ...
Soils and Soil Ecology in Khorezm
The current status of the agricultural soils in Khorezm is closely linked to their development influenced by past river flows and more recent human-managed irrigation and drainage practices. The initial relief of the ...
