A Preliminary Model of Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill. Suitability for Jordan
Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill. has been propagated for its fruits and young
pads for human consumption, as well as for forage for domestic livestock for
hundreds of years. Recently, it has been suggested that this plant ...
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 ...
What forage tree-shrub species are recommended in alley cropping systems under west Asia conditions?
Alley cropping is an agroforestry practice of planting arable crops between trees or shrubs. The integration of forage treeshrub species in an alley-cropping system was examined as an approach to mitigate the effects of ...

Congress Proceeding: Grassland Society of Southern Africa 55th Annual Congress (virtual Congress) Jun 30- Jul 02, 2020 about estimating rangeland carrying capacity at Al Majydia site using crowd-sourcing and VegMeasure ...
Screening for Cold Tolerant Cactus Species (Opuntia ficus-indica) for West Asia Region
The identification of the cold tolerant Opuntia species to increase their
cultivation in West Asia region where the cold winter conditions limit their
adaptation is the primary yet the most critical step. The International ...
The role of governance in sustainable rangeland management
The management and rehabilitation of degraded rangelands are inherently complex in south
Mediterranean where state and tribal owned pastures are grazed commonly by the agro-pastoralists. The
prospect for increased ...
Natural regeneration of severely degraded terrestrial arid ecosystems needs more than just removing the cause of the degradation
Rangelands cover over 75% of Kuwait’s total land area. Most of these rangelands are severely degraded because of overgrazing, poor anthropic utilization, and mismanagement. Restoring natural rangelands is a way to increase ...
Evaluation of Opuntia ficus-indica as a multi-purpose species under west Asia conditions
The agronomic potential of Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill. a multi-purpose crop is becoming increasingly apparent in arid and semi-arid regions. Nevertheless, the main limitation for the adaptation and distribution of O. ...
Performance of Anatolian Merino and Akkaraman lambs fed triticale, Hungarian vetch or a mixture of the two forages
Forages from Hungarian vetch and triticale monocultures
or mixtures that can be produced with relatively low cost
are important feed sources for ruminants in spring particularly
in the arid and semiarid regions. The feed ...
The effect of grazing exclusion on vegetation characteristics and plant community structure in arid lowland pastures
Rangelands are the mainstay of pastoral livelihoods worldwide. Within rangelands, there are landscape depressions or lowlands characterized by high production potentials with their unique edaphic and hydrologic properties. ...
