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 ...
Crop yield of rainfed areas in 2002
Crop yield layer where derived from MODIS gross primary productivity (GPP) layer as a production efficiency model approach that estimates crop growth from intercepted photo synthetically active radiation and light use ...
Map of rainfed areas in 2017
IWMI’s global irrigated and rainfed area maps (GIAM and GMRCA, Biradar et al., 2009, Thenkabail et al., 2009) have ben merge with released irrigated area maps accessible online; http://waterdata.iwmi.org/applications/irri_area/to ...
Multiscale Salinity Mapping in Central and Southern Iraq by Remote Sensing
Salinity has become one of the major problems
affecting crop production and food security in Central and
Southern Iraq. There is a pressing need to quantify and map the
spatial extent and distribution of the salinity in ...
Approaches and Strategies for sustainable wheat production
This handbook provides practical information on wheat production. It aims to inform the work of policy makers, agriculture agencies, extension agents, non-governmental organizations, universities and research organizations, ...
Economic Analysis of the Factors Affecting the Adoption of Sub Surface Irrigation Technology in Iraq
Iraq suffering from leakage in the water resources, therefore it scourging it farmers to adopting new technologies in irrigation. The results showed that the variables (age of farmer, level of education of farmers and ...
Crop yield of rainfed areas in 2008
Crop yield layer where derived from MODIS gross primary productivity (GPP) layer as a production efficiency model approach that estimates crop growth from intercepted photo synthetically active radiation and light use ...
Report B1.4: Water and salt trends and balances for the Mesopotamian plain
This report is part of a series analyzing water and salt flow through the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in the Mesopotamian plain. The series provide an insight in the layout and operation of the water and salt flow to allow ...
Supplemental Irrigation: A Promising Climate-resilience Practice for Sustainable Dryland Agriculture
Around 80 % of the world’s agricultural land is rainfed, and contributes to at least two-thirds of global food production. About 41 % of the Earth’s land area is classi- fied as dryland (ISPC 2015), wherein the farming ...
Improving Water Productivity in Irrigated Agri-food Production Systems
Fifteen professionally-trained national agricultural research trainees: 9 from Iraq, 2 from Jordan and 4 from a range of other countries (1 from Egypt, 2 from China and 1 from Japan) trained on improving water productivity ...
