Parameterization and Evaluation of the AquaCrop Model for Full and Deficit Irrigated Cotton
Predicting yield is increasingly important to optimize irrigation under limited available water for enhanced sustainability and profitable production. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations addresses ...
Water and land productivities of wheat and food legumes with deficit supplemental irrigation in a Mediterranean environment
Selecting appropriate crops and applying deficit irrigation can help increase water productivity in waterlimited
regions such as the Mediterranean. The objective of this study was to develop water production
functions of ...
Modification of the FAO‐56 spreadsheet program for scheduling supplemental irrigation of winter crops in a Mediterranean climate
Population growth and urbanization are increasing demands on limited renewable water resources in the
Mediterranean region. Irrigation is a major water user, and so there has been increased effort to improve its efficiency. ...
Similarity and Suitability Analysis to Assist the Out-Scaling of Sustainable Water and Land Management Practices in West Asia and North Africa
Water scarcity and land degradation are among the most important factors that affect agricultural production and sustainability in the West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region. Through the Water benchmarks project, ICARDA ...
Application of Water Accounting System (WAS) and WEAP21 Program For Rationalization of Water Resources Utilization in The Upper and Midmost Orontes Basins - Syria
Homs governorate watershed is considered as the agricultural production hub and a
strategic water reservoir of Syria. However, freshwater used unsustainably in the upper
and midmost Orontes basin (from Syrian- Lebanese ...
Evaluating the Productivity Potential of Chickpea, Lentil, and Faba bean under Saline Water Irrigation Systems.
The information on salinity threshold levels for food legumes when irrigating with saline water is limited and old. In a multiyear
study at two sites in the Euphrates Basin, we aimed at (i) evaluating the potential of ...
Task Force Agricultural Water Productivity - Questionnaire on Gender Mainstreaming
Task Force Agricultural Water Productivity - Questionnaire on Gender Mainstreaming.
Scenarios and analysis
Three scenarios were examined for the normal year of 2006. The scenarios are based on raising
agricultural water productivities to various levels by more investment, improving water management,
agricultural practices and ...
The Impact of International and National Investment in Barley Germplasm Improvement in the Developing Countries
Barley grain is used for animal feed, malt and food for human consumption. Archaeological evidence shows that barley was used in human food several thousand years ago (Bhatty, 1992). Although replaced by wheat and rice in ...
Evapotranspiration and water use of full and deficit irrigated cotton in the Mediterranean environment in northern Syria
Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is the most important industrial and summer cash crop in Syria and many other countries in the arid areas but there are concerns about future production levels, given the high water requirements ...
