Strengthening national seed systems for household food security in developing countries
This report is a synthesis of the research and development work done in past years by ICARDA’s Seed Section of Biodiversity and Integrated Gene Management, with a number of partner countries in Africa and Asia to improve ...
Durum Wheat Genotypic Variation of Yield and Nitrogen use Efficiency and Its Components Under Different Water and Nitrogen Regimes in the Mediterranean Region
Farmers in dry areas of the Mediterranean region are reluctant to apply nitrogen (N) fertilizer
to rainfed wheat because of frequent drought. So, it is desirable to select varieties with high nitrogen
use efficiency (NUE). ...
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 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 ...
IDENTIFYING SOME HERBICIDE RESISTANT GRASSES, MONITORING THEIR NATURE AND DISTRIBUTION IN SOUTHWESTERN PART OF ALEPPO CITY, SYRIA
It is common to say that weeds in Syria have developed resistance to herbicides, but this needs to be confirmed by research studies which are rare in the area. This study is run to describe and diagnose those weeds, and ...
Effects of tillage and time of sowing on bread wheat, chickpea, barley and lentil grown in rotation in rainfed systems in Syria
Cropping systems in the drylands of west Asia are characterized by grazing, burning or harvesting of stub-bles, multiple cultivations and late sowing, which can limit yields and lead to soil erosion and degradation.There ...
Dynamic Crop Production Responses to Weather and Yield Realizations with Application in Jordan
Agricultural production is a fundamental aspect of many societies as a means of producing food and a source of employment and income. However, the variability of production brought on by unforeseeable weather places many ...
