ICARDA's supplemental irrigation (SI) packages help overcome water scarcity by supplying only the minimum amount of water required for rainfed crops, to stabilize and increase yields when rain fails and provide enough water for healthy plant growth.

Conservation agriculture helps to improve soil fertility and enhance crop water productivity, while minimizing the total production cost.

ICARDA researchers develop and disseminate practical, low-cost options to protect vegetation, soil and water resources, using a people-centered community-led approach that integrates technologies, such as climate-smart crops alongside vegetation, land, and water-management techniques.

As demand for wheat grows rapidly across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, ICARDA is urgently addressing the growing climatic challenges, pests, and diseases that hinder its domestic production by generating an effective wheat-breeding strategy...

ICARDA's Durum Wheat Breeding Program aims to deliver superior varieties with increased yields against a backdrop of rapid climate change. ICARDA's durum wheat program also seeks to reverse the erosion of the crop's genetic diversity resulting...

ICARDA's bread wheat breeding program applies both conventional and molecular approaches to develop and distribute elite bread wheat genotypes, including shuttle breeding, doubled haploids, speed breeding, marker-assisted selection, and critical...
