Combining permanent beds and residue retention with nitrogen fertilization improves crop yields and water productivity in irrigated arid lands under cotton, wheat and maize
Intensive soil tillage and mismanagement of irrigation water and fertilizers are increasing production costs, reducing soil fertility and crop water productivity and threatening the sustainability of crop production systems ...
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) ...
Collective Action for Common Rangelands Improvement: A Climate Change Adaptation Strategy in Uzbekistan
Rangeland degradation endangers livelihoods of many rural communities in Uzbekistan. Despite the threat of land deterioration from climate change, there are many reasons that land users do not take action to prevent or ...
Virulence of Pyrenophora tritici-repentis in the countries of the Silk Road
Tan spot, caused by the fungal pathogen Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, is an important foliar disease of wheat. Eight races of the fungus are presently known based on their virulence on a wheat differential set. In 2001, ...
Do Texas Angora bucks improve mohair weight and quality traits of Tajik Angora goats?
With the main objective of improving Tajik mohair quantity and quality, frozen semen from eight top
performance tested Texan Angora bucks was imported and used on 459 selected local goats from 11
farmers in two insemination ...
Optimizing cotton irrigation regime using climatic data from mini weather station via evapotranspiration in the Fergana Valley, Uzbekistan (in Russian)
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 ...
Heat units-based potential yield assessment for cotton production in Uzbekistan
Cotton yields in Uzbekistan are significantly lower than those in similar agro-climatic regions, requiring the
estimation of crop potential and baseline yield to track progress of production enhancement efforts. The current ...
Reduction of Winter Wheat Yield Losses Caused by Stripe Rust through Fungicide Management
Stripe rust of winter bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) causes substantial grain yield loss in Central Asia. This study involved two replicated field experiments undertaken in 2009–2010 and 2010–2011 winter wheat crop ...
Identification and Characterization of Salt Tolerance of Wheat Germplasm Using a Multivariable Screening Approach
Salinity is one of the major limitations to wheat production worldwide. This study was designed to evaluate the level of genetic variation among 150 internationally derived wheat genotypes for salinity tolerance at ...
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 ...
