The Hot spots of high and low water productivity was done by classifying the biophysical agricultural water productivity (kg/m3) layer into three classes: (i) High water productivity which includes values exceeding 1.0 ...

ICARDA’s Integrated Water and Land Management Program (IWLMP) aims to help improve water and land productivity, farm income and livelihoods in dry areas through research and capacity building. All work is implemented through ...

Wheat is the main cultivated crop in the LKRB (mainly the Dashte- Azadegan plain). Its average yield is 1500 kg/ha (Agricultural Statistics 2004). Irrigation management practices are traditional and the region suffers from ...

The Karkheh River Basin (KRB) is located in the south-western parts of Iran. Most of the agricultural area in the upper KRB is rainfed and a large part of the region’s agricultural livelihood is based on dryland farming ...

Drought is a major factor affecting cereal production in most the rainfed areas of West Asia and North Africa. Recent increases in drought frequency in Morocco have resulted in the yields of field crops being extremely ...

he objectives of this study were to determine the effects of drying and wetting (DW) cycles on soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralisation and on the priming effect (PE) induced by the addition of 13C-labelled wheat straw to ...

Agricultural Water Productivity (WPM) (kg/m3) was determined for each pixel by dividing crop productivity (kg/ha) raster layer by seasonal crop water use in terms of actual evapotranspiration (m3/ha) raster layer.The WPM ...

Homs governorate watershed is considered as the agricultural production hub and a strategic water reservoir of Syria. However, land fertility and the increase of population, as well as climatic changes, urged the farmers ...

In order to evaluate the role of a limited irrigation (LI) and agronomic management on improving rain water productivity, a field study was conducted during 2005-08 winter cropping seasons of wheat at multiple farms across ...
