Halophytes as forages in saline landscapes: interactions between plant genotype and environment change their feeding value to ruminants
This report focuses on three factors that affect livestock production using halophytes – biomass production, nutritive value (NV) of the biomass and voluntary feed intake (VFI). The growth of halophytic forages is widely ...
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 ...
Development of Salinity Models by Remote Sensing in Central and Southern Iraq
This technical report series captures and documents the work in progress of the Iraq Salinity Project, in its seven research themes, working at the regional, farm and irrigation system scales. Technical reports feed into ...
Multi-temporal Salinity Mapping in the Pilot Sites and Mesopotamian Region: (Output A1.4 and A2.2)
This technical report series captures and documents the work in progress of the Iraq Salinity Project, in its seven research themes, working at the regional, farm and irrigation system scales. Technical reports feed into ...
Morphophysiological Adaptation Aspects of Different Haloxylon aphyllum (Chenopodiaceae) Genotypes Along a Salinity Gradient1
The seedlings of Haloxylon aphyllum from seeds with different genetic characteristics, which were
collected in three natural subpopulations along a soil salinity gradient, were investigated. The plants grown
under various ...
Component F: Develop methodologies to improve soil, agronomic, irrigation water and drainage management for salinity control
The objective of the Component F is to identify the best soil, agronomic, irrigation and drainage management practices for salinity management at the farm level. Based on the land quality classification, governorates with ...
Assessment of the Current Status of Irrigation Activity and Drainage Infrastructure in Iraq
This technical report assesses the current state of the irrigation and drainage in the Babil and Wasit provinces in central Iraq. It describes and documents the irrigation activity and drainage infrastructure in two selected ...
Soil and Water Salinity in Iraq: Preliminary Analysis of Causes, Effects and Approaches to Management
This report presents research in progress on the causes, effects, of soil and water salinity in central and southern Iraq. Its objective is to identify the best soil, agronomic, irrigation and drainage management practices ...
Halophyte Biomass - a Promising Source of Renewable Energy
Halophytes are suggested as energy crops in arid saline lands. Anaerobic digestion of 7 halophytes collected in the
Kyzylkum desert (Uzbekistan) were studied in batch-mode tests in mesophilic (35°C) and thermophilic (55°C) ...
Innovations for sustainability and food security in arid and semiarid lands
Dryland salinity, deforestation, decreasing productivity of rangelands and reduction of soil
productivity are widespread phenomena and primary causes of desertification in the Central
Asian region. The government of ...
