Watershed Management in South Asia: A Synoptic Review
Watershed management (WSM) is the most widely adopted technology in developed as well as developing countries due to its suitability across climatic conditions. Watershed technology is suitable to protect and enhance soil fertility, which is...
Optimizing cotton irrigation regime using climatic data from mini weather station via evapotranspiration in the Fergana Valley, Uzbekistan (in Russian)
Irrigated agriculture is the backbone of Central Asian economies and efficient irrigation management is of crucial importance to the sustainable crop production. The ET-based irrigation scheduling method has potential to replace subjective daily...
Analysis of an intraspecific RIL population uncovers genomic segments harbouring multiple QTL for seed relevant traits in lentil (Lens culinaris L.)
Improving seed related traits remains key objective in lentil breeding. In recent years, genomic resources have shown great promise to accelerate crop improvement. However, limited genomic resources in lentil greatly restrict the use of genomics...
Assessment of the Suitability of Raised Bed – Furrow Irrigation Technique in Saving Water for Wheat Production in New Halfa Area, Sudan
INTRODUCTION Agriculture in Sudan is the principal source of income and livelihood for 60 to 80% of the population (Elgali,2010). Agriculture is divided into two main sectors; irrigated and rainfed. The irrigated sector covers about 1.8 million...
Parameterization of the Effect of Bench Terraces on Runoff and Sediment Yield by Swat Modelling in a Small Semi-Arid Watershed in Northern Tunisia
In Tunisia, Soil and Water Conservation (SWC) interventions are among the most practicable strategies to prevent and mitigate rainwater losses through surface runoff and consequential erosion of fertile soils. In this study, a small and terraced...
Assessing gaps in irrigated agricultural productivity through satellite earth observations—A case study of the Fergana Valley, Central Asia
tImproving crop area and/or crop yields in agricultural regions is one of the foremost scientific challengesfor the next decades. This is especially true in irrigated areas because sustainable intensification of irri-gated crop production is...
Best practices on conservation of plant genetic resources; Plant Physiology and Seed Quality Analysis
Les ressources génétiques du blé utilisées pour l’amélioration génétique et la multiplication servent principalement à étudier la résistance aux insectes et maladies. Au Maroc, le blé est utilisé pour l’alimentation humaine et comme fourrage...
Date Palm Genetic Diversity Analysis Using Microsatellite Polymorphism
Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is considered one of the great socioeconomic resources in the Middle East and the Arab regions. The tree has been and still is at the center of the comprehensive agricultural development. The number of known...
