Yield gain due to fungicide application in varieties of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) resistant and susceptible to leaf rust
In three independent experiments in Turkey and Kazakhstan, winter wheat germplasm with variable degrees of resistance to leaf rust was subjected to fungicide protection. The yield loss of genotypes susceptible to leaf rust ...
Characterization of mohair and cashmere in regions of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan
tTo generate information on animal fiber quality traits in Central Asia, as a prelude to geneticimprovement, fiber samples of 495 cashmere goats from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and448 mohair goats from these two countries ...
Should agricultural research in Central Asia and Caucasus (CAC) re-prioritize its agenda with view to climate change?
Impact of climate change on the clockwork of agro-ecosystems. ▶ pollinators as key agents of any climate change adaptation of agro-ecosystems at risks. ▶ Impact of climate change on mountain agriculture.Temperatures in ...
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) ...
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, ...
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 ...
Improving wheat stripe rust resistance in Central Asia and the Caucasus
Wheat is the most important cereal in Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan) and the Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia). Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. ...
Development of Magnesium-Dominant Soils Under Irrigated Agriculture in Southern Kazakhstan
Irrational irrigation practices in the Arys Turkestan Canal command area in the southern part of Kazakhstan have led to the formation of soils with poor physical and chemical properties. To study whether irrigation and ...
Enhancing the productivity of high-magnesium soil and water resources in Central Asia through the application of phosphogypsum
Recent evidences from some irrigated areas worldwide, such as Central Asia, suggest that water used for irrigation contains magnesium (Mg2+) at levels higher than calcium (Ca2+). Excess levels of Mg2+ in irrigation water ...
Role of Wheat in Diversified Cropping Systems in Dryland Agriculture of Central Asia
Wheat is major crop in dryland agriculture of Central Asia. In most cases both spring wheat and winter wheat are grown in rotation with summer fallow. Studies were conducted in order to identify alternative crops which ...
