Status of On-farm Agrobiodiversity and Rural Livelihoods in Dry Areas
Presentation prepared based on Impact of Dryland Agrobiodiversity survey for Conservation and Sustainable Use of Dryland Agrobiodiversity Project
Effect of supplementary irrigation during reproductive growth on winter and spring chickpea (Cicer arietinum) in a Mediterranean environment
Inadequate soil moisture is one of the main constraints on the productivity of chickpea in the rainfed farming systems of the dry areas in West Asia and North Africa. The response to irrigation at flowering and pod filling ...
Adoption of Fertilizer Use on Barley in Northern Syria
Questionnaire used for Effect of Fertilizer Use on Barley in Syria survey of Fertilizer Use on Rainfed Barley project.
Water Harvesting and Supplemental Irrigation for Improved Water Productivity of Dry Farming Systems in West Asia and North Africa
In the dry areas, water, not land, is the most limiting resource for improved agricultural production. Maximizing water productivity, and not yield per unit of land, is therefore a better strategy for dry farming systems. ...
Grain Yield and Quality of Durum Wheat Landraces in a Dry Mediterranean Region of Northern Syria
Twenty‐two durum wheat landraces of various origins were evaluated for performance and stability of grain yield, protein content and gluten strength (SDS sedimentation volume) at two sites of Northern Syria situated in the ...
Yield potential and drought tolerance of segregating populations of barley in contrasting environments
Using the traditional approach (selection for grain yield) it has been found that F3 families derived from F2's selected under unfavourable conditions were more vigorous in the early stages of growth, taller, earlier in ...
Migrants from marginal dry areas in Syria: destinations, employment, and returns
We examine the determinants of migrants’ choices of destination, employment, and remittances from one of the poorest marginal dry areas in Syria. Qualitative and econometric analysis of cross-sectional data indicates that ...
Assessing soil water trajectories and WUE: A multi-year modeling approach to design resilient cereal-legume rotations in the dry areas
Cropping system simulation can address the complex and interactive nature of resilience and allows for biological (crop
growth and development), physical (soil-water dynamics), chemical (soil carbon and N turnover), and ...
Caravan 24: Review of agriculture in the dry areas
Articles in this issue describe how value-addition options were identified for herbal and medicinal plants in a remote valley in Morocco; how cactus species – that combine hardiness with high market value – are being ...
Targeting Research for Poverty Reduction in Marginal Areas of Rural Syria
Agricultural research in marginal dry areas can contribute to reducing poverty through the development of technological, institutional and policy options for poor farmers. Such research should address diversified opportunities ...
