Should agricultural research in Central Asia and Caucasus (CAC) re-prioritize its agenda with view to climate change?
Impact of climate change on the clockwork of agro-ecosystems. ▶ pollinators as key agents of any climate change adaptation of agro-ecosystems at risks. ▶ Impact of climate change on mountain agriculture.Temperatures in ...
Framework for agricultural performance assessment based on MODIS multitemporal data
We present a hierarchical classification framework for automated detection and
mapping of spatial patterns of agricultural performance using satellite-based Earth observation
data exemplified for the Aral Sea Basin (ASB) ...
Diversity analysis of Central Asia and Caucasian lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) germplasm using SSR fingerprinting
Diversity analysis was performed among 39 cultivated lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) accessions of Central Asia and Caucasian origin using five highly polymorphic microsatellite markers. A total of 33 alleles determined ...
Improving wheat stripe rust resistance in Central Asia and the Caucasus
Wheat is the most important cereal in Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan) and the Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia). Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. ...
Satellite based calculation of spatially distributed crop water requirements for cotton and wheat cultivation in Fergana Valley, Uzbekistan
This study focuses on the generation of reliable data for improving land andwater use in Central Asia. An objectbased remote sensing classification is applied and combinedwith the CropWat model developed by the Food and ...
Genotype × environment interaction and stability of grain yield and selected quality traits in winter wheat in Central Asia
High grain yield and improved quality determine the commercial success of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties in
Central Asia. This study was conducted to determine the effect of environment on grain yield, ...
Improved winter wheat genotypes for Central and West Asia
High grain yield and resistance to stripe (yellow) rust are the most important traits for successful adoption of winter wheat varieties in Central and West Asia. This study was conducted to determine the stripe rust response ...
A new concept of irrigation response units for effective management of surface and groundwater resources - A case study from the multi-country Fergana valley, Central Asia.
When estimating canal water supplies for largescale irrigation schemes and especially in arid regions worldwide, the impact of all factors affecting the gross irrigation requirements (GIR) are not properly accounted for, ...
Variation of Macro- and Microelements, and Trace Metals in Spring Wheat Genetic Resources in Siberia
Western Siberia is one of the major spring wheat regions of Russia, cultivating over 7 Mha. The objective of the study was to evaluate the variation of macro- and microelements, and of trace metals in four distinct groups ...
Optimizing Use of Water for Cotton Production using Evapotranspiration-based Irrigation scheduling Technique in the Fergana Valley, Uzbekistan
Irrigated agriculture is the backbone of Central Asian economies and efficient irrigation management is of crucial importance to the sustainable crop production. The ET-based irrigation scheduling method has potential to ...
