Impact of climate change and agricultural practices on irrigation water requirements under Nile delta conditions
Agriculture in Egypt consumes about 80% of the available water resources. With an ever-increasing demand and a relatively fixed supply of fresh water, every drop of water should be treated as a drop of life. Consequently, ...
Molecular markers and phenotypic characterization of adult plant resistance genes Lr 34, Lr 46, Lr 67 and Lr 68 and their association with partial resistance to leaf rust in wheat
Thirty-nine wheat genotypes were studied to estimate their partial resistance levels to leaf rust at Behira governortae during three growing seasons, i.e. 2016/2017, 2017/2018 and 2018/2019. In these genotypes, partial ...
A Typology-Based Approach for Assessing Qualities and Determinants of Adoption of Sustainable Water Use Technologies in Coping with Context Diversity: The Case of Mechanized Raised-Bed Technology in Egypt
Mechanized raised-bed technology (MRBT) is recognized as an important measure to achieve higher crop productivity and water-use efficiency in intensive irrigated systems. Development efforts on spreading this technology ...
Effective management of on-farm irrigation for some major crops in Egypt using CROPWAT model
Field experiments were carried out (2013/2014 and 2014/2015 for wheat; 2014 and 2015 for maize) at the two sites of Giza area (Giza governorate, represented to Middle Egypt) and Shandaweel area (Sohag governorate, represented ...
