Ecosystem Services: What they are, why they are important and how do we value and manage them
Our health and wellbeing depends upon the services provided by ecosystems and their components: water, soil, nutrients and organisms. Ecosystem services are the processes by which the environment produces resources utilized ...
Improving Land and Water Productivity in IGNP Command Area (ICAR – ICARDA Collaborative Project # 8)
poster about Improving Land and Water Productivity in IGNP Command Area.
Evaluation of CropSyst model for clusterbean under hot arid condition
The study on “Evaluation of Cropsyst model for yield and water productivity of clusterbean” was conducted on farmers
field during kharif 2012 at village Mainawali in Hanumangarh district of Rajasthan. The soils of the area ...
Growing More Olives with Less Water
Despite the importance of olive
production in Morocco and Syria,
the absence of modern production
methods such as irrigation prevent
the sector from reaching its full
potential. Although widespread
water-scarcity in North ...
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 ...
Object-based agricultural land use map of Khorezm
In recent decades, multi-spectral and hyper-spectral remotely sensed imageries with high and modern spatial resolutions at sufficient time-series interval have been developed. This allows for detecting crop types and its ...
Managing Scarce Water Resources in Irrigated Drylands of Central Asia
Central Asian farmers use the Soviet era-developed method of irrigation which divides the irrigated areas in Hydro Module Zones (HMZ). Each HMZ has a set of crop-specific recommendations for irrigation based on a) soil ...
Developing scenarios to assess sunflower and soybean yield under different sowing dates and water regimes in the Bekaa valley (Lebanon): Simulations with Aquacrop
In a semi-arid environment, the main challenge for crop production is water
limitation in space and in time. Considered as appropriate tools, models are used to
evaluate the effects of water deficit on crop productivity ...
A user-friendly interactive tool for estimating reference ET using ASCE standardized Penman-Monteith equation
The Accurate daily reference evapotranspiration (ET) values are needed to estimate crop water demand for
irrigation management and hydrologic modeling purposes. The Bushland Reference ET Calculator (BET) was developed
to ...
Evapotranspiration-based Irrigation Scheduling for Cotton Growing in Fergana Valley to Improve Water-use Efficiency
Adopting Evapotranspiration-based Irrigation Scheduling for Cotton Growing in Fergana Valley to Improve Water-use Efficiency
