Salt Management: The Australian Experience
Salinity is the accumulation of soluble salts (predominantly NaCl) in soil and water, usually over an extended period of time. For most people the term has negative connotations, associated as it is with long-term land and ...
Halophytes as forages in saline landscapes: interactions between plant genotype and environment change their feeding value to ruminants
This report focuses on three factors that affect livestock production using halophytes – biomass production, nutritive value (NV) of the biomass and voluntary feed intake (VFI). The growth of halophytic forages is widely ...
Water and land productivity: Interim report
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of different continuous deficit irrigation regimes on yield and vegetative growth of olive trees in order to optimize irrigation water application of this crop under local ...
Public-Private-Producers Partnership for Strengthening Seed Certification in Afghanistan: Project Inception Workshop
War, drought and social collapse have greatly undermined the agricultural production systems in Afghanistan. Reconstruction or development is needed to create a stronger commercial agricultural sector, including seed. The ...
