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, ...
Changes in barley (Hordeum vulgare L. subsp. vulgare) genetic diversity and structure in Jordan over a period of 31 years
In many regions of the world, the cultivation of landraces is still common, in particular in centres of crop diversity. Significant effort has been put into ex situ conservation of landraces but limited data exist on the ...
Quantification of Agricultural Water Productivity at Field Scale and Its Implication in On-Farm Water Management
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is under
extreme water shortage conditions. About 80 % of water in
KSA is utilized by the agricultural sector; therefore, proper
management of irrigation water is required to produce ...
Assessing Agricultural Water Productivity in Desert Farming System of Saudi Arabia
The primary objective of this study was to assess the water productivity (WP) of the annual (wheat, barley, and corn) and biennial (alfalfa and Rhodes grass) crops cultivated under centerpivot irrigation located over desert ...
Characterization of spatial variability of soil physicochemical properties and its impact on Rhodes grass productivity
Characterization of soil properties is a key step in understanding the source of spatial
variability in the productivity across agricultural fields. A study on a 16 ha field located in the
eastern region of Saudi Arabia ...
CART and IDC – based classification of irrigated agricultural fields using multi-source satellite data
To understand water productivity of crops cultivated in the Eastern Province
of Saudi Arabia, this study was conducted to generate a reliable crop type
map using a multi-temporal satellite data (ASTER, Landsat-8 and MODIS) ...
