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 ...
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 ...
Ammonia volatilization from nitrogen fertilizers applied to cereals in two cropping areas of southern Australia
As farmers in southern Australia typically apply nitrogen (N) to cereal crops by top-dressing with ammonia (NH3) based fertilizer in late winter or early spring there is the potential for large losses of NH3. This paper ...
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 ...
Ties that Bind: Australia and ICARDA
Australia has traditionally been a strong supporter of agricultural research, both at home and abroad. Total Australian funding for ICARDA research amounted to US$ 575,000 during the 2001 financial year, a 53% increase ...
The efficacy of calibrating hydrologic model using remotely sensed evapotranspiration and soil moisture for streamflow prediction
Calibration of spatially distributed hydrologic models is frequently limited by the availability of ground observations. Remotely sensed (RS) hydrologic information provides an alternative source of observations to inform ...
