Ties that Bind: ICARDA and the Arab World
Since its establishment, the International Center for Agricultural research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), based in Aleppo, Syria, has worked side by side with scientists and technicians in all parts of the Arab world to not ...
ICARDA Efforts to Promote In Situ/On-farm Conservation of Dryland Agrobiodiversity
Dryland biodiversity has only recently got due attention because of its potential to contribute in overcoming the effects of global challenges caused by land degradation and and climate change (FAO, 1989). More particularly, ...
Actual Evapotranspiration of irrigated areas in 2006
Evapotranspiration was determined using the methodology proposed by USGS’s Simplified Surface Energy Balance. The Actual Evapotranspiration (AET, mm) estimation was done using MODIS 1km (thermal infrared band resolution) ...
SALINITY MANAGEMENT
Water is the major limiting factor of agricultural production in the dry areas of Central and
West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) regions. Agriculture accounts for around 80-90% of
freshwater consumption in the regions. ...
Adaptation of Crop and Forage Genotypes to Soils Affected by Salinity
This report presents the research in progress for the Iraq Salinity Research project’s research component on the adaptation of crop and forage genotypes to soils affected by salinity. It describes the outcome of three ...

Mapping soil salinity changes using remote sensing in Central Iraq
Salinization is a common problem for agriculture in dryland environments and it has greatly affected land productivity
and even caused cropland abandonment in Central and Southern Iraq. Hence it is of pressing importance ...
