Management practices for improving water productivity in the Dasht-e-Azadegan
Wheat is the main cultivated crop in the LKRB (mainly the Dashte- Azadegan plain). Its average yield is 1500 kg/ha (Agricultural Statistics 2004). Irrigation management practices are traditional and the region suffers from ...
Involvement Of Peduncle Elongation, Anther Dehiscence And Spikelet Sterility In Upland Rice Response To Reproductive-Stage Drought Stress
Reproductive stage drought stress results in dramatic reduction of spikelet fertility and grain yield of upland rice (Oryza sativa L). The hypothesis investigated here is that spikelet sterility under pre-anthesis drought ...
Strategies help farmers cope with climate change. استراتيجيات تساعد المزارعين على التكيف مع التغير المناخي
This project aims to make research results rapidly available to resource-poor farmers and policy makers. This will help them better understand climate change and how to deal with it, and give them access to a range of ...
Monitoring Soil Moisture under Wheat Growth through a Wireless Sensor Network in Dry Conditions
Drought research requires data on precipitation and actual soil moisture of fields because precipitation is variable among years and the soil textures differ with crop fields. Measurement of soil water content in the field ...
Seed networks help farmers to boost crop yields. شبكات البذار تساعد المزارعين على زيادة غلات المحاصيل
This project aims to improve food security in Palestine by helping farmers to access seed that provides high crop yields under harsh local conditions. It works with farmers to produce, conserve, and improve locally adapted ...
The use of the microcatchment water harvesting for fodder shrub production
The Badia constitutes about 90% of the total land area of Jordan, which is 89 342 km2. Its average annual rainfall is < 200 mm. The area with annual rainfall of 100–200 mm is considered the promising rangeland for ...
Association of Root Water-uptake Ability with Drought Adaptation in Wheat
In rain-fed agricultural regions, limited rainfall and frequent unpredictable droughts have resulted in low and variable wheat yields. Balanced water use between root water-uptake and remaining soil moisture is a key factor ...
Microcatchment water harvesting systems for fruit trees and shrubs
This report will focus on results of 2004/05 and 2005/06 seasons in which the conventional handmade microcatchment was compared to the mechanized one through research done at the Jordan University of Science and Technology site.
Present status of salt-affected and waterlogged soils in Dasht-e-Azadegan and management strategies for their sustainable utilization
Salt-prone land and water resources are major impediments to the optimal utilization of crop production systems in many arid and semi-arid regions of the world, including Iran (Alizadeh et al. 2004; Moghaddam and Koocheki ...
Middle East Water and Livelihoods Initiative (WLI)
This will ensure more sustainable ecosystems and improved rural livelihoods. Emphasis is given to building on local knowledge by using existing data, social capital, research linkages, partnerships and proven methodologies ...
