Does tillage should be an evaluation factor in the breeding program for major cereal and legume crops ?
Conservation agriculture practices are becoming more important in rainfed drylands due to its potential to minimize climatic risk, reduce soil erosion and improve soil quality and water availability. Due to minimum disturbance ...
Adoption and impacts of improved varieties and seed demand analysis
There is very limited information about the national level adoption of improved wheat varieties in Morocco. With the exception of some estimates based on secondary data, the same is true for household, regional and national ...
Genome-Wide Association and Prediction of Male and Female Floral Hybrid Potential Traits in Elite Spring Bread Wheat Genotypes
Hybrid wheat breeding is one of the most promising technologies for further sustainable
yield increases. However, the cleistogamous nature of wheat displays a major bottleneck for a successful
hybrid breeding program. Thus, ...
Phenotypic evaluation of elite spring bread wheat genotypes for hybrid potential traits
Wheat breeding has significantly contributed
to enhancing yield potential and stability.
However, one of the most promising technologies for
further sustainable yield increases, hybrid wheat, is
still limited due to lack ...
Guidelines for Facilitating Women’s adoption of Improved Cereal Varieties in Sex-segregated Cultures
Women in the Global South play significant roles in farming but face inequalities in access to resources, land and extension support (3,4,5). Their roles in farming cereals, often perceived as male crops, are especially ...
Gendered aspirations and occupations among rural youth, in agriculture and beyond: A cross-regional perspective
Based on 25 case studies from the global comparative study ‘GENNOVATE: Enabling gender equality in agricultural and environmental innovation’, this paper explores rural young women’s and men’s occupational aspirations and ...
Diversified Cropping System: Relay Intercropping of Lentil with Quinoa (Morocco)
A Diversified Cropping System (DCS) results in a more resilient and intensive cropping
system. In this case quinoa was introduced as an intercrop for lentil. The yield of lentil is
not reduced; hence the system becomes ...
Climate Resilience in Moroccan Dryland Wheat: a Modelling Study on Food Security
The International Centre for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) has carried
agronomic research on drought resistant crops since the 1970s. Varieties derived from their
research are now common throughout the ...
إرشادات لتسهيل تبني النساء أصناف الحبوب المحسنة في الثقافات التي تفصل بين الجنسين
تلعب النساء في جنوب الكرة الأرضية أدوارًا مهمة في الزراعة، لكنهن يواجهن عدم مساواة في الوصول إلى الموارد والأراضي ودعم الإرشاد (3،4،5). إن أدوارهن في زراعة الحبوب، التي غالبًا ما يُنظر إليها على أنها محاصيل تخص الذكور، يتم ...
Spring bread wheat breeding at ICARDA: Progress for yield, drought and heat tolerance targeting CWANA and SSA regions
Presentation on Spring bread wheat breeding at ICARDA. the progress for yield, drought and heat tolerance targeting CWANA and SSA regions.
