Sustainable Development of Lowlands in Agro-Pastoral Ecosystems: Strengthening the resilience of lowlands in the Near East and North Africa
Sustainable management of the lowlands requires comprehensive and multi-faceted approaches to land management. These include scientifically-grounded integrated practices that combine ecologically-oriented approaches which benefit the land, its...
Gender and Agricultural Extension: Why A Gender Focus Matters?
The literature reviewed here is global in its focus to attend to broad trends in the field and practice of agricultural extension. We do not aim for an extensive literature review but to identify implications for not including gender, ways to do...
Comparative Analysis of Agro-Morphological and Molecular Variations in Huskless Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) under Central Agro-Climatic Zone of India
A set of 24 barley accessions from ICARDA, Lebanon grown under Indian field condition at experimental field of ICARDA- IRP, Amlaha, was analysed for Agromorphological and molecular variability High (40.11) to moderate (23.58) diversity was...
A comparative analysis of nonhost resistance across the two Triticeae crop species wheat and barley
Background: Nonhost resistance (NHR) protects plants against a vast number of non-adapted pathogens which implicates a potential exploitation as source for novel disease resistance strategies. Aiming at a fundamental understanding of NHR a...
Identification of barley genotypes with higher protein content coupled with bold grains for food and malt barley improvement under sub-tropical climates
Grain protein content is very important trait with respect to barley grains meant for food, feed and malt purposes. Barley grain protein content was evaluated in several genotypes for two years at different locations under sub-tropical climates...
Bio-economic efficiency of creep supplementation of forage legumes or concentrate in pasture-based lamb production system
Supplemental feeding of lambs with forage legumes or grains provides a potential option to increase proportion of prime lambs and profitability in intensive pasture-based lamb production systems. A two-year study in the Central Anatolian Region...
A phenology based geo-informatics approach to map land use and land cover (2003 - 2013) by spatial segregation of large heterogenic river basins
Accurate information on land use and land cover (LULC) is critical for policy decisions especially for management of land and water resources’ activities in large river basins around the world. Phenology based LULC classification is the most...
Diversity assessment of hulled barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) accessions by agro-morphological traits and SSR markers
Barley accessions from ICARDA, Lebanon were grown in Indian condition at ICARDA-IRP (Indian Research Platform), Amlaha, (M.P.) and analyzed for morphological and genetic variability using nine agro-morphological traits and molecular markers (SSR...
