Harnessing food legumes for climate-smart agriculture
Food legumes are particularly suited to sustainable agriculture. ICARDA is developing and disseminating improved varieties and production technologies so farmers can benefit from the increasing demand for these climate-smart ...
Econometric Analysis of Factors Affecting Farmers' Adoption of Water Saving Technologies: A Case Study of Raised-bed Technology in Egypt
This paper aims to present results of a socio-economic investigation into factors affecting the adoption of mechanized raised bed (MRB) technology in wheat production in Sharkia Governorate of Egypt. The sample consists ...
Power to the partners? Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) as an approach for more pluralistic agricultural extension service in Egypt
Agriculture remains a key and sensitive economic sector in Egypt. Given contemporary geo-political concerns
that limit access to international markets, it continues to remain responsible for the production of food and
fiber ...
Heat-Tolerant QTLs Associated with Grain Yield and Its Components in Spring Bread Wheat under Heat-Stressed Environments of Sudan and Egypt
Heat stress decreases photosynthesis, pollen viability, grain number and weight, and hence lowers yield and quality of wheat by variable amounts among different cultivars and genotypes. The present study was carried out ...
Genome-wide structure and dynamics of Nubian goats from Northeast Africa
The Nubian goat breed-group includes the Algerian Mzabite, Egyptian Zaraibi and Nubian goats found in Ethiopia, Sudan and Eritrea, and is one of the ancestral founders of the Anglo-Nubian. Whether the breed-group comprises ...
Use of latent factor mixed model to analyze allele climate association in a panel of ICARDA durum wheat accessions
The purpose of the current study was to appraise desirable associations between allele frequencies
and environmental variables for a set of North African durum wheat landraces using latent
factor mixed models. Speci cally:
To ...
Developing improved varieties of faba bean
Faba bean is an important cool-season food legume crop grown under different cropping systems for dry grain and green pods, animal feed and a green-manure worldwide. It contributes to reduce carbon footprint of cereal based ...
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 ...
Methodology for Assessing Adoption, Efficiency, and Impacts of Mechanized Raised-Bed Technology
Mechanized raised-bed technology (MRBT) has been recognized as an important
Component of integrated water management to achieve higher productivity in intensive irrigated systems, such as those found in the Nile ...
Maintaining soil health in dryland areas
Drylands cover 40% of the global terrestrial space and are home for 2 billion people, often the most vulnerable. Land use is dominated by rangelands and much less by croplands, while barren areas with sparse vegetation ...
