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 ...
Experimental on-farm trials data of faba bean and wheat intercropping field validation in Lebanon and Morocco
This data paper describes the content of four datasets col- lected by the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) as a partner in the project “Designing InnoVative plant teams for Ecosystem ...
Conservation Agriculture In Dry Areas Preface
Conservation agriculture in dry areas
Trends in Small Ruminant Meat Production–Consumption Gaps in West Asia and North Africa: Implications for Intra-Regional Trade
This paper examines past trends in the small ruminant sector in the West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region; it explains the main driving forces of these trends and their implications for the livelihoods of the poor; and ...
Modelling the impact of soil and water conservation structures at various scales in Tunisian semi-arid region
In central-northern Tunisia, a combination of dryness, erratic rainfalls, and the undulating terrain create an erosion-prone environment. Soil and water conservation (SWC) measures have been widely applied to reduce the ...
Identification and Quantification of Actual Evapotranspiration Using Integrated Satellite Data for Sustainable Water Management in Dry Areas
Evapotranspiration (ET) is a significant consumer of irrigation water and precipitation on
cropland. Global and regional interest in the sustainable management of limited freshwater supplies
to meet the rapidly increasing ...
Interactions of boron-toxicity, drought, and genotypes on barley root growth, yield, and other agronomic characters
In areas with high levels of soil boron, symptoms of boron (B) toxicity often appear under droughts. This greenhouse study examined the interactions of B-toxicity, drought, and genotypes on barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) root ...
Farmers response to water scarcity and salinity in a marginal area of Northern Syria
Groundwater is an important resource in the dry areas, but often used unsustainably. The objective
of this study was to monitor groundwater use for the irrigation of winter crops in Khanasser
Valley, northwest Syria. The ...
Water-harvesting designs for fruit tree production in dry environments
Water scarcity and increasing demand coupled with climate change require maximizing the use of available resources. Water harvesting (WH) systems are currently being used in many areas to sustain crops and increase water ...
Crop Yields under Climate Variability and No-Tillage System in Dry Areas of Morocco
In Morocco, the intensive use of agricultural land coupled with irregular precipitation is a serious threat to the country’s food security. Conservation agriculture especially no-tillage (NT) system has shown an important ...
