Suitability and Identification of Pulses in Cropping Systems for Nutritional Security, Better Livelihood and Mitigation for Climate Change: Need for on-farm experimentation and minimum datasets for modelling for out-scaling of the production system
The presentation introduced the following aspects: understanding the “state-of-the-art” on pulses in each Region in terms of opportunities and challenges, including existing policy environment; finalization on common ...
Performance evaluation of ground water management instruments: The case of irrigation sector in Tunisia
Around 27% of aquifers in Tunisia are being overexploited. Groundwater extractions is mainly for the irrigation sector, where more than 40% of the water used for irrigation comes from GW sources. The objective of this study ...

Growth in Total Factor Productivity in the Egyptian Agriculture Sector: Growth Accounting and Econometric Assessments of Sources of Growth
This research aims to assess the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) of the whole agricultural sector in Egypt for the period 1961-2012 using Törnqvist index calculations. Particularly, it aims to investigate: (1) the most ...
Opportunities and challenges of diversified in cropping and livestock systems in small scale farms at desert reclaimed lands, Egypt
A farm survey was conducted in 2013/14, over 174 small-scale farms in the newly desert reclaimed lands of Egypt. Five zones have been investigated according to date of settlement: 1 old reclaimed land (1960s), 2 newly ...
On - Farm Irrigation
The present study aims at improving water management in on-farm using CropWat model.
Genome-Wide Scans Reveal Multiple Selection Sweep Regions in Indigenous Sheep (Ovis aries) from a Hot Arid Tropical Environment
Animals living in extreme environments demonstrate the adaptive resiliency of species to diverse ecosystems. This research suggests that the possible selection pressures shaping the genome architecture of the study populations ...
Impacts of Irrigation on Agricultural Productivity in Egypt
This paper investigates the impacts of the main primary production factors (e.g. seed, nitrogen, phosphorus, etc.), on the total production of the main crops produced in Egypt (cotton, berseem, maize, rice and wheat), with ...
ICARDA Efforts to Promote In Situ/On-farm Conservation of Dryland Agrobiodiversity
Dryland biodiversity has only recently got due attention because of its potential to contribute in overcoming the effects of global challenges caused by land degradation and and climate change (FAO, 1989). More particularly, ...
