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 ...
Salinity effect on grain quality of two durum wheat varieties differing in salt tolerance
The salt tolerant variety Cham-1, created by ICARDA, showed a higher grain yield than the less salt tolerant landrace Haurani, but the main parameters for the pasta quality declined considerably. Salinity had a slight ...
Emergence rate as a potential indicator of crop salt-tolerance
The current study aims to examine the hypothesis that the determination of the emergence rate is a possible indicator of the plant potential to tolerate soil salinity under field conditions. This hypothesis is analysed ...
Salt tolerance analysis of chickpea, faba bean and durum wheat varieties II. Durum wheat
Seven varieties of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum), provided by ICARDA, were tested in a greenhouse experiment for their salt tolerance. Afterwards two varieties, differing in salt tolerance, were irrigated with waters of ...
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 ...
Salt tolerance analysis of chickpea, faba bean and durum wheat varieties I. Chickpea and faba bean
Two varieties of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and faba bean (Vicia faba), differing in drought tolerance according to the classification of the International Center for Agronomic Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA), were ...
Durum Wheat and barley productivity in saline-drought environments
In two successive years, durum wheat (Triticum turgidum Desf.) and barley (Hodeum vulgare L.) were tested in a factorial salinity–drought experiment, combining three levels of salinity and two levels of drought. The two ...
In-season wheat root growth and soil water extraction in the Mediterranean environment of northern Syria
Wheat is the most important cereal crop in the semi-arid eastern Mediterranean region that includes northern Syria. Knowledge of wheat root depth and the vertical distribution during the winter growing season is needed for ...
Role of Sustainable Wheat Production to Ensure Food Security in the CWANA region
Wheat is the world‟s most widely cultivated cereal. By 2050, global demand for wheat is projected to
increase by 60%. In the CWANA region which ICARDA is tasked to serve, wheat is the basic staple
and food security crop, ...
Water-yield relations and optimal irrigation scheduling of wheat in the Mediterranean region
Crop yield is primarily water-limited in areas of West Asia and North Africa with a Mediterranean climate. Ten years of supplemental irrigation (SI) experiments in northern Syria were conducted to evaluate water-yield ...
