ICARDA pursues science-based solutions to meet the national agricultural development needs in Lebanon through partnerships and collaborative research activities. This commitment to explore and support science-based pathways ...
Milk and Reproduction Performances of Awassi Sheep in Tal Hadya Station, Syria, 2002-2011
The data were collected from an experimental sheep flock that was maintained at ICARDA’s Tal Hadya station, Aleppo, Syria (now in Terbol station in Lebanon). By 1980, the foundation of ICARDA’s experimental Syrian Awassi ...
Investing in resilience: addressing climate-induced displacement in the MENA region
Climate change threatens the viability of agriculture, ecosystems, and rural livelihoods in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). In a region where agriculture is a critical source of employment and income, environmental ...
On farm analysis of the effect of the preceding crop on N uptake and grain yield of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) in Mediterranean conditions.
One of the challenges of eco-efficient agriculture is the development of operational farming practices to increase the level of agricultural production, maximize the efficiency of resource use and reduce environmental ...
Analysis of genetic variability and genotype 3 environment interactions for iron and zinc content among diverse genotypes of lentil
Deficiencies of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) are major problems in developing countries especially for woman and preschool children. Biofortification of staple food crops is a sustainable approach to improve human mineral intake ...
Evaluation of Central Asian wheat germplasm for stripe rust resistance
Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici (Pst), is an important disease of winter wheat in Central Asia. Stripe rust races contain diverse virulence/avirulence patterns and change rapidly. Therefore the ...
Characterization of grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) germplasm collections for beneficial agronomic traits
At ICARDA, germplasm collections obtained from five countries namely, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Syria, Nepal and Pakistan were grouped in to seven sets of trials (BANG1, BANG2, ICARDA, ETH1, ETH2, NEP, PAK) and evaluated in ...
Farm-Centered Integrated Modelling for the Design of Sustainable Agricultural Systems
Farm modelling has been widely used over the past ten years for the assessment of agricultural systems in face of policy changes, technological innovation, economic and climate changes. Beyond the various modelling methods ...
