Integrated effect of saline water irrigation and phosphorus fertilization practices on wheat (Triticum aestivum) growth, productivity, nutrient content and soil proprieties under dryland farming
Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is the most common and oldest crop in Morocco and MENA region countries, cultivated both for human and animal nutrition. In Morocco, the irrigated perimeter of Tadla is the major wheat growing area affected by soil and...
Genetic Diversity and Genome-Wide Association Study for the Phenology Response of Winter Wheats of North America, Western Asia, and Europe
Wheat is a staple food in many areas around the World. In the 20th century, breeders and scientists were able to boost wheat yield considerably. However, a yield plateau has become a concern and is threatening food security. Investments in...
Integrating APSIM model with machine learning to predict wheat yield spatial distribution
Traditional simulation models are often point based; thus, more research is needed to emphasize spatial simulation, providing decision-makers with fast recommendations. Combining machine learning algorithms with spatial process-based models...
ICARDA hosts the CGIAR System Council and Independent Science for Development Council in Morocco
ICARDA and INRA-Morocco hosted the CGIAR ISDC and SC annual meetings in Rabat. These meetings shape the future of CGIAR, ensuring that we empower the communities we serve with the skills and tools to build resilient livelihoods.
Safaa Kumari Represents Syria on the Mediterranean Science Team
With great pride, we announce that Safaa Kumari, Plant Virologist, Head of ICARDA's Seed Health Laboratory, and BBC 100 Women 2020 Winner, was selected as Syria's Representative in the second edition of the Mediterranean Science Team (MST)
A feminist political ecology of agricultural innovations in smallholder farming systems: Experiences from wheat production in Morocco and Uzbekistan
A clear consensus has emerged that innovations are important for adapting to drought and overcoming other biophysical limitations in smallholder farming systems; however, women are notably marginalized from agricultural innovations. We examine...
Single‑ and multi‑trait genomic prediction and genome‑wide association analysis of grain yield and micronutrient‑related traits in ICARDA wheat under drought environment
Globally, over 2 billion people sufer from malnutrition due to inadequate intake of micronutrients. Genomic-assisted breeding is identifed as a valuable method to facilitate developing new improved plant varieties targeting grain yield and...
