Conservation agriculture: opportunities for intensified farming and environmental conservation in dry areas
This report presents examples, approaches and evidence on conservation agriculture
and its potential for use in low-income countries. It is designed to help policy makers and
development partners appreciate the issues and ...
OFID household survey on landscape depressions
The dataset contains the results of a survey with the purpose to compare practices like barley cultivation in the depressions and improved rangeland in Badia in terms of economic viability in the long term. The survey is ...
A Preliminary Model of Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill. Suitability for Jordan
Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill. has been propagated for its fruits and young
pads for human consumption, as well as for forage for domestic livestock for
hundreds of years. Recently, it has been suggested that this plant ...
Improving breeding efficiency through application of appropriate experimental designs and analysis models: A case of lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus subsp. culinaris) yield trials
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus subsp. culinaris) is an important staple pulse and rich source of protein, especially to the economically resource-poor consumers of the developing world. Experimental and analytic technology ...
Dissemination of conservation agriculture (CA) in wheat based system for increased productivity and product quality
Currently around 6,000 ha are under conservation agriculture (CA) in Morocco. Further to CRP DS research on CA in the action site Meknes, there is a bilateral project on CA that is mapped to CRP DS; CANA-project “Adapting ...
Comparing productivity of landscape depressions in pastoral ecosystems of Jordan under different treatments
The dataset compares productivity of landscape depressions in pastoral ecosystems of Jordan under different treatments.
Susceptibility of some Chickpea accessions to infestation with leaf miner Liriomyza cicerina Rondani and its impact on yield
The susceptibility of some chickpea accessions to infestation with leaf miner Liriomyza cicerina Rondani was studied at the International Centre for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), Aleppo, Syria. Eight ...
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 ...
Evaluating the Productivity Potential of Chickpea, Lentil, and Faba bean under Saline Water Irrigation Systems.
The information on salinity threshold levels for food legumes when irrigating with saline water is limited and old. In a multiyear
study at two sites in the Euphrates Basin, we aimed at (i) evaluating the potential of ...
