Agricultural research for development: meeting the challenge of bringing science to farmers. This issue of Caravan looks to the field to present approaches and examples that have been developed through our research with partners in many dryland...

Heat and drought adaptive quantitative trait loci (QTL) in a spring bread wheat population resulting from the Seri/Babax cross designed to minimize confounding agronomic traits have been identified previously in trials conducted in Mexico. The...

The genotype × environment (GE) interaction influences genotype selection and recommendations. Consequently, the objectives of genetic improvement should include obtaining genotypes with high potential yield and stability in unpredictable...

In order to evaluate the role of a limited irrigation (LI) and agronomic management on improving rain water productivity, a field study was conducted during 2005-08 winter cropping seasons of wheat at multiple farms across benchmark watershed of...

Leaf rust caused by Puccinia triticina is a common disease on wheat in the coastal regions of Turkey. Collections of P. triticina from infected wheat leaves were obtained from the main wheat production zones of Turkey in 2009 and 2010. A total...

A hard red spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar developed using doubled haploid technology by the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA), Morocco, and tested as 00DHBW300, was approved for release in 2010 by the Office...

Selecting appropriate crops and applying deficit irrigation can help increase water productivity in waterlimited regions such as the Mediterranean. The objective of this study was to develop water production functions of major cereal and legume...

This report describes the use of improved methodologies developed to identify suitable watersheds based on an integrated resources management concept. The approach integrates multi-disciplinary knowledge, GIS utilities, and verification in the...
