Spineless cactus in the Arabian Peninsula: adaptive behaviors and production performances
Limited water resources are the main challenge facing agricultural developments in dry areas. Thus improving the crops water use efficiency (WUE) is considered the greatest one. In an attempt to alleviate feed shortages ...
Annual clovers around the world: current status and future prospects
This paper reviews the distribution and importance of annual clover (Trifolium) species for pasture and fodder production systems globally. Of the 158 recorded annual Trifolium species, 65.2% are endemic to the Mediterranean ...
Wide range of genetic variabilrty for herbicide tolerance in Faba bean
Weeds have emerged as major constraint to faba bean productivity. A study was caried out to evaluate
faba bean lines to post-emergence herbicides with 210 g a.i.lha Metribuzin (photosynthesis inhibitor, PI), 82 ga.i.lha ...
Assessing different systems for enhancing farm income and resilience in extreme dry region of India
Enhancing resilience among small farm households in dry regions is important to cope with extreme weather conditions and changing climate. This study presents the results of assessment made in Western Rajasthan (Thar) ...
Improving agricultural water productivity in the Indira Gandhi Nahar Pariyojana (IGNP)
ICARDA and CAZRI have recently concluded a 6-year research study on investigation of avenues to
improve agricultural water productivity in the INGP canal command area. The study was conducted in
stages I and I I of the ...
Conversion Factors to Estimate Soil Salinity Based on Electrical Conductivity for Soils in Khorezm Region, Uzbekistan
This paper compares different procedures for soil salinity analyses to determine
electrical conductivity: saturated paste extract (ECe), xed soil:water
ratio extracts EC1:1 and EC1:5, and soil solution paste prepared with ...
Screening faba bean (Vicia faba L.) germplasm for resistance to persistently aphid transmitted viruses
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is an important, high protein food and feed crop in many countries mainly in Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA), East Africa and East Asia. The crop is affected by a number of virus ...
Qualitative characteristics of traditional Jordanian Jameed and a way to improve quality and reduce health risks
Jameed is an important dairy product in Jordan and other countries in the Middle East that is highly demanded. Jameed is a hard dry skimmed yogurt, mainly processed using sheep and goat milk in a small scale labor-intensive ...
Community-Based Breeding Program is an attractive option for genetic improvement of small ruminants
In small ruminants, centralized breeding schemes, entirely managed and controlled by governments – with minimal, if any, participation by farmers – were developed and implemented in many developing countries. Such programs ...
Strategies for Measuring Wind Erosion for Regional Scale Modeling
Windblown sediment transport is mostly measured at field or plot scale due to the high spatial variability over the study area. Regional scale measurements are often limited to measurements of the change in the elevation ...
