Salt Management: The Australian Experience
Salinity is the accumulation of soluble salts (predominantly NaCl) in soil and water, usually over an extended period of time. For most people the term has negative connotations, associated as it is with long-term land and ...
Systems approach to water productivity assessment using cropping system Models
Irrigation management of crops in Egypt is characterized by the application of more water than the crops require. In fact, large amounts of water are supplied without any estimates of the soil water content at the root ...
Enhancing Food Security in Arab Countries
A research for development initiative working across ten countries to raise wheat production and reduce the Arab World’s growing dependence on costly wheat imports.
Optimizing cotton irrigation regime using climatic data from mini weather station via evapotranspiration in the Fergana Valley, Uzbekistan (in Russian)
Irrigated agriculture is the backbone of Central Asian economies and efficient
irrigation management is of crucial importance to the sustainable crop production. The ET-based irrigation scheduling method has potential to ...
ICARDA's West Asia Regional Program
ICARDA’s West Asia Regional Program (WARP) coordinates agricultural research and development activities in Cyprus, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, the Palestinian Authority, Syria and lowland Turkey. With its head office in Amman, ...
Halophytes as forages in saline landscapes: interactions between plant genotype and environment change their feeding value to ruminants
This report focuses on three factors that affect livestock production using halophytes – biomass production, nutritive value (NV) of the biomass and voluntary feed intake (VFI). The growth of halophytic forages is widely ...
Farmer-led approaches to drylands farming: crop - livestock conservation agriculture
The video depicts a successful story of crop-livestock integration in areas with scarce natural resources and land degradation such as Tajikistan, Tunisia and Algeria. While zero till seeding is an efficient technique to ...
Evaluation of winter wheat varieties under different crop rotations and management practices
This study includes determining interactions among wheat varieties, crop rotations, and management practices.
Integrated land and water productivity improvement in Aral Sea Basin
A study on developing an integrated and sustainable crop production system, for improved land and water productivity in the Khorezm province.
Salinity management in Central and Southern Iraq: Prospects under existing drainage conditions
Excessive irrigation and poor drainage conditions have contributed to rising groundwater tables leading to salinity-induced land degradation in the irrigated areas of central and southern Iraq. Soil salinity problems have ...
