Water and land productivities of wheat and food legumes with deficit supplemental irrigation in a Mediterranean environment
Selecting appropriate crops and applying deficit irrigation can help increase water productivity in waterlimited
regions such as the Mediterranean. The objective of this study was to develop water production
functions of ...
Genetic differentiation in Pyrenophora teres f. teres populations from Syria and Tunisia as assessed by AFLP markers
To investigate the level of genetic differentiation and diversity among
Pyrenophora teres isolate populations originating from different agro-ecological
areas of Syria and Tunisia and to determine the potential of AFLP ...
The role of limited irrigation and advanced management on improving water productivity of rainfed wheat at semi-cold region of upper Karkheh River Basin, Iran
In order to evaluate the role of a limited irrigation (LI) and agronomic management on
improving rain water productivity, a field study was conducted during 2005-08 winter cropping
seasons of wheat at multiple farms across ...
A Participatory GIS Approach for Assessing Land Suitability for Rainwater Harvesting in an Arid Rangeland Environment
The dry rangelands of West Asia and North Africa are fragile and severely degraded due to low rainfall and mismanagement of natural resources. Rainwater harvesting (RWH) interventions are used to increase soil moisture ...
Mediterranean forest mapping using hyper-spectral satellite imagery
heterogeneity that is associated with Mediterranean
climate, floristic biodiversity and topographic
variability. Satellite remote sensing can be an effective tool
for characterizing and monitoring forest vegetation ...
Introducing new agricultural technologies and marketing strategies: A means for increasing income and nutrition of farm households in Ethiopia
Many developing regions have excellent potential agricultural resources. However, historically, the population has become so concentrated in these regions that acute poverty and malnutrition now predominate. The food ...
Effectiveness of sand media filters for removing turbidity and recovering dissolved oxygen from a reclaimed effluent used for micro-irrigation
Sand media filters are among the most common filters used in micro-irrigation systems, especially for
filtering waters with large amounts of organic contaminants like reclaimed effluents. An experiment was
conducted for ...
ICARDA and EIAR Success of Joint Barley-Breeding Program in Developing Food Barley Varieties for the Ethiopian Low-Moisture Areas
Collaborative work of international research institutes, like ICARDA and national agricultural research
centers in any developing country, such as Ethiopia, is important and has significant impact on improving the
livelihood ...
The assessment of spatial distribution of soil salinity risk using neural network
Soil salinity in the Aral Sea Basin is one
of the major limiting factors of sustainable crop
production. Leaching of the salts before planting
season is usually a prerequisite for crop establishment
and predetermined water ...
Spatial and Temporal Analyses of Water Quality in the Dhrabi Watershed of Pakistan: Issues and Options
Monitoring water quality is important for maintaining a healthy watershed, but it is mostly ignored in watershed planning
and management. In the Dhrabi watershed of Pakistan, the quality of surface water was monitored at ...
