Measuring the Impacts of Conservation Tillage (CT) on Household Income and Wheat Consumption: A Syrian Case
This study aims at assessing the impacts of conservation tillage (CT) on household income and wheat consumption among Syrian farmers. Analysis is based on 621 wheat producing farmers in Syria. The propensity score-matching ...
Reliable high-throughput Phenotyping Tools to assess Adaptive Traits for Wheat in Drought Environments
This project successfully demonstrated the value of ICARDA’s elite drought nurseries for the CWANA region and highlighted the opportunity to breed for specific adaptations. The great environmental diversity of the CWANA ...
Priming effect of 13C-labelled wheat straw in no-tillage soil under drying and wetting cycles in the Loess Plateau of China
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 ...
Varietal Adoption, Outcomes and Impact
This chapter focuses on the adoption and turnover of cultivars of crops, such as soyabean, maize, pigeon pea, wheat, cassava, rice, potato, barley, yam, groundnut, bean, sorghum, cowpea, pearl millet, chickpea, faba bean, ...
ICARDA’S Genebank Resources and Activities: A Vital Tool in Ensuring a Food-Secure Future for Dryland Communities
Agrobiodiversity is one of the world’s most precious resources for ensuring food security as climate change, globally diminishing natural resource base and rapidly growing population pose an unprecedented challenge to feed ...
Seed Info No. 48
Seed Info aims to stimulate information exchange and regular communication among seed staff in the Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region and beyond. Its purpose is to help strengthen national seed programs ...
Varietal Generation and Output
This chapter focuses on the improved cultivar generation of various crops (maize, cassava, rice, bean, potato, cowpea, wheat, soyabean, sweet potato, yam, sorghum, groundnut, banana, chickpea, pigeon pea, barley, pearl ...
Exploring and Mobilizing the Gene Bank Biodiversity for Wheat Improvement
Identifying and mobilizing useful genetic variation from germplasm banks to breeding programs
is an important strategy for sustaining crop genetic improvement. The molecular
diversity of 1,423 spring bread wheat accessions ...
New winter wheat varieties for improving productivity on saline fields in Central Asia
Wheat productivity is being adversely impacted by rising soil salinity in the fields of Central Asia, as a consequence of climate change and many other factors. Salinity reduces grain yield and negatively influences many ...
