Biofortification through breeding interventions in lentil
Micronutrient deficiency affects more than two billion population worldwide especially in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The deficiency in human body is commonly described as “hidden hunger” leading to a range of health ...
Scale Effects of STATSGO and SSURGO on Flow and Water Quality Predictions
Soil information is one of the crucial inputs needed to assess the impacts of existing and alternative agricultural man- agement practices on water quality. Therefore, it is important to understand the effects of spatial ...
Measuring and modeling the effects of drainage water management on soil greenhouse gas fluxes from corn and soybean fields
Controlled tile drainage can boost crop yields and improve water quality, but it also has the potential to
increase GHG emissions. This study compared in-situ chamber-based measures of soil CH4, N2O, and CO2
fluxes for ...
Ties That Bind: USA-ICARDA. The research partnership between ICARDA and the United States of America
Since ICARDA’s inception in 1977, the United States has been the single biggest donor to the center’s research and capacity development programs.
The benefits of this significant investment by US partners are dramatically ...
Economics of salt-induced land degradation and restoration
Food security concerns and the scarcity of new productive land have put productivity enhancement of degraded lands back
on the political agenda. In such a context, salt-affected lands are a valuable resource that cannot ...
ICARDA Annual Report 1989
ICARDA's major challenge is to realize sustainable advances in agricultural production in an environment of extremely variable climatic conditions. The past two seasons provided ample illustration of this spatial and ...
ICARDA Annual Report 1988
The 1988 Report strives to attain a balance between the two approaches. It
is divided into two parts. Part One highlights the major developments in the
Center's research conducted during the year with special reference to ...
Dryland research at ICARDA: Achievements and future directions.
The rationale for the establishment of the international agricultural research system was to assist the various national programs in the developing world to achieve food security and banish hunger and malnutrition from the ...
Productivity and nitrogen benefits of late-season legume cover crops in organic wheat production
When full-season cover crops are used in
stockless organic rotations, cash crop production is compromised. Including winter cereals in rotations can widen the
growing season window and create a niche for late-season cover ...
Using vegetation indices from satellite remote sensing to assess corn and soybean response to controlled tile drainage
Controlled tile drainage (CTD) is a management practice designed to retain water and nutrients in the
field for crop use. CTD has shown promise for improving water quality and augmenting crop yields
but findings are often ...
