Managing Scarce Water Resources in Irrigated Drylands of Central Asia
Central Asian farmers use the Soviet era-developed method of irrigation which divides the irrigated areas in Hydro Module Zones (HMZ). Each HMZ has a set of crop-specific recommendations for irrigation based on a) soil ...
Suitability and Identification of Pulses in Cropping Systems for Nutritional Security, Better Livelihood and Mitigation for Climate Change: Need for on-farm experimentation and minimum datasets for modelling for out-scaling of the production system
The presentation introduced the following aspects: understanding the “state-of-the-art” on pulses in each Region in terms of opportunities and challenges, including existing policy environment; finalization on common ...
Can improved food legume varieties increase technical efficiency in crop production?
Faba bean (broad bean), field pea, and lentil are very important legumes in the highlands of Ethiopia. Ethiopia is the largest producer of faba bean in SSA. In 2012/13, about 4.4 million small holder farmers planted 574,000 ...
Breeding for post emergence herbicides in Cool season food legumes
Cool-season food legumes (faba bean, chickpea and lentils) are mostly grown in rainfed dryland systems,
because of many virtues such as high protein content, atmospheric nitrogen fixation, and low carbon and
water foot ...
Dry Ecosystem Services: Approaches for Valuation and Ensuring Public Support
Dry ecosystems are home to some of the most charismatic species, support high species endemism and comprise many unique ecosystems and biomes, including savannahs, dry forest, coastal areas and deserts.
However, currently ...
Importance of valuation of ecosystems services for sustainable development
Our health and well-being depends upon the services provided by ecosystems and their components: water, soil, nutrients and organisms. The ecosystem services are the processes by which the environment produces resources ...
Resilient and efficient agro-ecosystems under changing climate and demography
