Spectral Reflectance Models for Characterizing Winter Wheat Genotypes
Optimum wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield can be achieved by
developing and growing the best genotypes in the most suited
environments. However, exhaustive field measurements are
required to characterize plants with ...
Geoinformatics applications in management of pests and diseases
Global change is become a norm and pose a serious threat to food and nutritional security
with increased concerns of pests and disease risks. The date palm are prone to several pests, and
some are invasively lethal to palm ...
Socio-ecological Context Typology to Support Targeting and Upscaling of Sustainable Land Management Practices in Diverse Global Dryland
It is widely recognized that sustainable land management practices (SLM) are much
needed for improving land-based livelihoods of 2.5 billion people living in the dry areas across the
globe. Adoption and effectiveness of ...
Spatial BigData Analytics for intensification of pulses
Supply-demand gap of agricultural commodities continues to rise while total arable land area is not expected to increase significantly. Future increases in agricultural production, particularly pulses, will be contingent ...
Development of Decadal National Land Cover Database for Jordan
The main objective of this study is to introduce the first consistent long term land cover database for Jordan. The Jordan National Land Cover Database (JNLCD) consists of four land cover maps for the years 1984, 1991, ...
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, ...
Exacerbated degradation and desertification of grassland in Central Asia
Grassland desertification is a complex process, including both state conversion (e.g., grasslands to deserts) and
gradual within-state change (e.g., greenness dynamics). Existing studies generally did not separate the ...
Restoring the Jordan’s Badia Agro-Ecosystems - tracking developmental interventions and impacts using Remote Sensing
This is a presentation held in Jordan under the Water and Livelihood Initiative (WLI). It is an overview of the Jordan's situational analysis reflecting main problems, solutions and relative tools adopted.
Resilient and efficient agro-ecosystems under changing climate and demography
The presentation held in Dharwad (India) by dr. Biradar analyses the effects of changing climate on agriculture and proposes climate- smart practices. The stresses agriculture faces are multiple, some of which include ...
