Factors affecting the variability of household water use in Melbourne,Australia
This study investigates the variability of household water use in Melbourne with the aim of improvingthe current understanding of factors affecting residential water use. This understanding is critical topredicting household ...
Impacts of International Wheat Improvement Research
Wheat is a major source of calories and protein for consumers in developing countries. The “Green Revolution” improved the national food security and welfare of the poor in developing countries in the second half of the ...
Reliable high-throughput Phenotyping Tools to assess Adaptive Traits for Wheat in Drought Environments
This project successfully demonstrated the value of ICARDA’s elite drought nurseries for the CWANA region and highlighted the opportunity to breed for specific adaptations. The great environmental diversity of the CWANA ...
Stocking rate effects on liveweight gain of ewes and their twin lambs when grazing subterranean clover–perennial grass pastures
Two grazing experiments were conducted on nonirrigated
tall fescue–subterranean clover and cocksfoot–
subterranean pastures subject to summer-dry conditions
in Canterbury, New Zealand, to measure the effect
of low (8 3–10 ...
A Review of Continental-to-Global Sustainable Water Use Assessment
Freshwater scarcity and unsustainable water use are some of the growing concerns in many parts of the world. Increasing water demand accompanied by increasing climate change leads to the unsustainable use of freshwater ...
Mining the ICARDA germplasm collection for biotic and abiotic priority traits for Australia
The International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) has a global mandate for barley improvement, targeting nearly 18 million ha of dry areas. Germplasm improvement in hulled and naked barley for ...
Wheat
Wheat is one of the most important staple crops of global food and nutritional security. The demand for wheat has been increasing substantially with the increasing human population pressure. Wheat genetic resources including ...
Seasonal and inter-annual variability of soil moisture stress function in dryland wheat field, Australia
It is assumed that the ratio of actual evapotranspiration (AET) to potential evapotranspiration (PET) is mostly controlled by the soil water content available for ET. This control is formulated using the soil moisture ...
Multivariate time series modeling of short-term system scale irrigation demand
Travel time limits the ability of irrigation system operators to react to short-term irrigation demand fluctuations that result from variations in weather, including very hot periods and rainfall events, as well as the ...
Efficient and sustainable production of faba bean
Faba bean is mainly grown under rain-fed conditions, although irrigated production is important in Egypt, parts of China and Central Asia. China is the leading producer with a wide range of intensive rotation and inter-crop ...
