Geoinformatics applications in management of pests and diseases
Global change is become a norm and pose a serious threat to food and nutritional security
with increased concerns of pests and disease risks. The date palm are prone to several pests, and
some are invasively lethal to palm ...
Socio-ecological Context Typology to Support Targeting and Upscaling of Sustainable Land Management Practices in Diverse Global Dryland
It is widely recognized that sustainable land management practices (SLM) are much
needed for improving land-based livelihoods of 2.5 billion people living in the dry areas across the
globe. Adoption and effectiveness of ...
ICARDA Efforts to Promote In Situ/On-farm Conservation of Dryland Agrobiodiversity
Dryland biodiversity has only recently got due attention because of its potential to contribute in overcoming the effects of global challenges caused by land degradation and and climate change (FAO, 1989). More particularly, ...
Exacerbated degradation and desertification of grassland in Central Asia
Grassland desertification is a complex process, including both state conversion (e.g., grasslands to deserts) and
gradual within-state change (e.g., greenness dynamics). Existing studies generally did not separate the ...
Responsiveness of chickpea to climate change
Appropriate changes in the genetic options are needed to cope up with the changing climate and farming
system to ensure food security and sustainable cereal production for the ever growing populations in
developing world. ...
Spatial big-data analytics for agricultural intensification and crop diversification in rice fallows
Supply-demand gap of agricultural commodities continues to rise while total arable land area is
not expected to increase significantly in India. Future increases in agricultural production will be
contingent upon agricultural ...
Systems Approach to Link Big Socio-ecological Geo-data to Food Systems Sustainability
Rapid development of multi-dimensionally, multi-scale, timely updated socio-ecological geodata

Quantification of Agricultural Water Productivity at Field Scale and Its Implication in On-Farm Water Management
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is under
extreme water shortage conditions. About 80 % of water in
KSA is utilized by the agricultural sector; therefore, proper
management of irrigation water is required to produce ...
Characterization of spatial variability of soil physicochemical properties and its impact on Rhodes grass productivity
Characterization of soil properties is a key step in understanding the source of spatial
variability in the productivity across agricultural fields. A study on a 16 ha field located in the
eastern region of Saudi Arabia ...
