The increasing water demand for dmestic and industrial water users in the water-scarce
Mediterranean region is effecting the availbility of fresh water supplies for agriculture. Whereas much
research has been done on the ...
Virulence and molecular diversity within Ascochyta rabiei in Moroccan population and evaluation of genotypic stability on chickpea
Ascochyta blight (Ascochyta rabiei Lab.) is an economically important fungal disease on chickpea in Morocco, and in other parts of the world. Significant progress has been made in breeding chickpea for Ascochyta blight ...
Dynamic Modelling of Energy Transitions Using a Coupled Modelling-Narrative Approach
Energy transitions are a matter of competitions between multiple emerging systems and a
dominant, established system. Understanding the complex dynamics of these interactions can assist betterinformed
decision making and ...
Using SWAT model for targeting sub-watersheds with rainwater harvesting and supplemental irrigation techniques in Libya
Rainfall in the arid and semi arid areas is limited with high spatial and temporal variability resulting in low water productivity. Rainwater harvesting (RWH) and supplemental irrigation (SI) can improve water productivity, ...
A Triple-Hurdle Model of the Impacts of Improved Chickpea Adoption on Smallholder Production and Commercialization in Ethiopia
Enhancing agricultural productivity through the adoption of proven technologies presents a
credible pathway to economic development and poverty reduction. The adoption of improved
chickpea varieties in Ethiopia has the ...
Study of the Effect of Storage Temperature on Microbial Stored Dates under Vacuum
This research study the effects of different storage temperatures on the microbial load of Khalas cv dates produced in Al Hassa, Saudi Arabia and packed under vacuum at room temperature (25 ºC) and under the refrigerator ...
Soil Volume: The Effect of Pot Size on Roots and Canopy Growth Performance of Cactus Pear
The influence of soil volume on roots and canopy growth performance of cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) was studied at Palermo University. In November 2014, 1 year old Opuntia ficus-indica cladodes were planted in five ...
Rangelands and pastoralism of the Middle-East and North Africa, from reality to dream
The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is a vast area covering 20 countries from western Asia to North Africa, with nearly 9,000,000 Km2 and 303 million hectares of total rangelands. Rangelands play an essential role in ...
Screening Techniques for Ascochyta Blight of Chickpea
Blight caused by Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Lab. is the major disease of chickpea in North Africa, West Asia, and South and East Europe. The use of resistant cultivars is considered to be the best way of controlling the ...
Conservation Agriculture Holds Considerable Promise to Help Agricultural Livelihood Systems Coping with Climate Change: ICARDA’s Experience
Around one-third of the global population depends on dryland
agriculture for food security and livelihoods. In addition to common
challenges (such as natural resources degradation, poverty), climate
change is exacerbating ...
