The role of limited irrigation and advanced management on improving water productivity of rainfed wheat at semi-cold region of upper Karkheh River Basin, Iran
Virulence of Puccinia triticina in Turkey and leaf rust resistance in Turkish wheat cultivars
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 Participatory GIS Approach for Assessing Land Suitability for Rainwater Harvesting in an Arid Rangeland Environment
The dry rangelands of West Asia and North Africa are fragile and severely degraded due to low rainfall and mismanagement of natural resources. Rainwater harvesting (RWH) interventions are used to increase soil moisture content, vegetation cover...
Pathogenicity Spectra And Screening For Resistance In Barley Against Tunisian Pyrenophora Teres F. Teres
This work aimed to determine patterns of pathogenicity in Pyrenophora teres f. teres and to identify potentially effective resistance sources that could be used as breeding material to control net blotch in Tunisia. Extensive pathogenic...
Soil-landscape modeling and land suitability evaluation: the case of rainwater harvesting in a dry rangeland environment
The arid to semi-arid region is characterized by a scarcity of land and water resources, which threatens the livelihoods of the inhabitants. Rainwater harvesting is an important practice to improve water and land productivity and to cope with...
Poverty, food insecurity, natural resource degradation and climate change are global challenges; but they impact most severely on rural communities in dry areas. Addressing these challenges requires a combination of good science, integrated...
