Why Conservation Agriculture in rainfed drylands in Morocco
Crop yield in the rainfed Mediterranean environment in Morocco, the hot spot for climate change, is highly affected by rainfall variability, temperature extremes, and declining soil quality. Several research findings ...
Diversified Cropping System: Relay Intercropping of Lentil with Quinoa (Morocco)
A Diversified Cropping System (DCS) results in a more resilient and intensive cropping
system. In this case quinoa was introduced as an intercrop for lentil. The yield of lentil is
not reduced; hence the system becomes ...
Growing More Olives with Less Water
Despite the importance of olive
production in Morocco and Syria,
the absence of modern production
methods such as irrigation prevent
the sector from reaching its full
potential. Although widespread
water-scarcity in North ...
Surface Runoff and Drought Assessment Using Global Water Resources Datasets - from Oum Er Rbia Basin to the Moroccan Country Scale
Precipitation and surface runoff vary strongly in space and time across Morocco. The country’s water management is primarily governed at the basin level, following a decentralized approach. However, in some cases, water ...
Genotype and agronomic management interaction to enhance wheat yield and water use efficiency in the Mediterranean rainfed environment of Morocco: I. Field data analysis
Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum), considered better drought tolerant, is the most cultivated wheat in Morocco and in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. The region, including Morocco, predominantly ...
Field Data Analysis and Reporting Activity 7.1: Analyze the Data of the Field Measurements
Reliable spatiotemporal measurements of evapotranspiration (ETa) are important for water resources planning, management and monitoring, efficient irrigation scheduling, and development and monitoring of climate change ...
Output 9: Comparison Between Field Data and Remote Sensing Data Analyzed Comparing Evapotranspiration Retrieved Through Various Remote Sensing based Models with Ground Measured Data
Evapotranspiration (ET) measurement on a real-time basis at a large scale with high temporal
frequency is important for agricultural water use and water resource planning. Identifying the differences
between potential ET ...
Improved On-farm Irrigation Management for Olive Growing - A Case Study from Morocco
The key success factors of the olive oil market are the enhancement and stabilization of olive yields, improvement of olive oil quality and reduction of production costs. There is great potential for cost reduction in terms ...
FAO/ICARDA webinars on measuring evapotranspiration - now open
The webinars cover a number of evapotranspiration measurement themes including underlining the time and space scale of measurement applications and analyzing their accuracy and suitability for use in arid and semi-arid ...
Morocco to convert 1M Ha to conservation Agriculture - How ICARDA/INRA Fit in
Conservation Agriculture is a sustainable agricultural production system guided by three core principles: no (or minimal) tillage to the soil after harvest; permanent soil cover to lock in moisture and reduce evaporation; ...
