Genotype x Environment Interaction for Durum Wheat Grain Yield and Selection for Drought Tolerance in Irrigated and Droughted Environments in Iran
Durum wheat is grown in the Mediterranean region under stressful and variable environmental conditions. In a 4-year-long experiment, 14 genotypes [including 11 durum breeding lines, two durum (Zardak) and bread (Sardari) wheat landraces, and one...
Inheritance of Protruded Stigma in Black Gram [Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper]
Inheritance of protruded stigma in black gram [Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper] was investigated in the F(1), F(2), and F(3) generations of four crosses and their reciprocals involving a natural flower mutant with its parent genotype (IPU 99-167) and...
Identifying Superior Rainfed Barley Genotypes in Farmers' Fields Using Participatory Varietal Selection
This study was carried out to identify superior barley genotypes for the rainfed areas of western Iran using a participatory varietal selection (PVS) approach. Three field experiments were conducted in two randomly selected farmers' fields and...
Ties That Bind: USA-ICARDA. The research partnership between ICARDA and the United States of America
Since ICARDA’s inception in 1977, the United States has been the single biggest donor to the center’s research and capacity development programs. The benefits of this significant investment by US partners are dramatically increased crop yields...
Improving water productivity in the Tadla region of Morocco
The main objective of the project is the adoption by farming communities of strategies and tested technologies that optimize the conjunctive use of rainwater and scarce water resources in supplemental irrigation systems for improved and...
The use of the microcatchment water harvesting for fodder shrub production
The Badia constitutes about 90% of the total land area of Jordan, which is 89 342 km2. Its average annual rainfall is 200 mm. The area with annual rainfall of 100–200 mm is considered the promising rangeland for rehabilitation. The Badia (part...
Towards sustainable and improved water productivity in the old lands of the Nile Delta
Almakatei village, located on Alatf canal, was selected purposely to represent the community. Its agricultural land is located across three main districts in Menoufia Governorate – Al Bagour, Shebin Al Koum and Quesna. This was considered as one...
Systems approach to water productivity assessment using cropping system Models
Irrigation management of crops in Egypt is characterized by the application of more water than the crops require. In fact, large amounts of water are supplied without any estimates of the soil water content at the root zone. The rationale for...
Selection and Characterization Of the Badia Benchmark research site
How suitable an area is for WH depends on local society, farming practices, and whether the area meets the basic technical requirements of the WH system in question. When planning such systems, appropriate data must be available on the climate...
Role of current policies and institutions Egypt in improving irrigated agriculture
The objective of any national water policy is, normally, to ‘Generate the maximum possible economic value for the nation’. Under water scarcity situations, water should be allocated so that users who generate a higher income per unit volume of...
