Dissemination of conservation agriculture (CA) in wheat based system for increased productivity and product quality
Currently around 6,000 ha are under conservation agriculture (CA) in Morocco. Further to CRP DS research on CA in the action site Meknes, there is a bilateral project on CA that is mapped to CRP DS; CANA-project “Adapting ...
Effect of stocking rate on pasture and sheep production in winter and spring lambing systems
A 2-year study was conducted to quantify the effect of stocking rate on pasture and sheep production in winter and spring lambing systems. Pastures were set-stocked with ewes and their winter-born single lambs at low (20 ...
Late-season catch crops reduce nitrate leaching risk after grazed green manures but release N slower than wheat demand
Late season catch crops could be an effective tool to conserve highly available N after grazing of green manures. An experiment was established to investigate the productivity and N capturing abilities of barley (Hordeum ...
Conservation agriculture for building climate change resilient farming systems
ICARDA scientists have been investigating climate
change resilient farming systems for two decades.
Conservation Agriculture (CA) has been found to be one
of the key tools for combating climate change.
ICARDA’s investigations ...

Forage potential of six leguminous green manures and effect of grazing on following grain crops
There is a need to design intensive cropping systems that can reap multiple benefits from annual forages including animal feed, soil fertility and weed control. Considering pea/oat (Pisum sativum cv. 40-10/Avena sativa cv. ...
Bio-economic analysis of dual-purpose management of winter cereals in high and low input production systems
Dual-purpose (DP) management of cereals holds promise to reduce the feed gap and to better integrate crop and livestock systems especially in drylands where forage deficit is severe. However, there is limited information ...

Sustainable development of smallholder crop-livestock farming in developing countries
Meeting the growing demand for animal-sourced food, prompted by population growth and increases in average per-capita income in low-income countries, is a major challenge. Yet, it also presents significant potential for ...
Effects of grazing two green manure crop types in organic farmingsystems: N supply and productivity of following grain crops
Grazing green manures may improve N availability and productivity in integrated crop–livestock systems. We hypothesized that grazing green manures, compared with standard soil incorporation with tillage, would increase ...
