This issue of Caravan chronicles ICARDA’s efforts in developing a research strategy and a need-based research program for the CAC region. In doing so, ICARDA played a major role in bringing together all partners, most importantly donors. The...
Germany possesses one of the world’s leading industrialized economies and has for many years been actively funding overseas development projects through the annual allocation of many millions of Deutschmarks. Like all partnerships, there have...
Hyperspectral Vegetation Indices for Determining Agricultural Crop Characteristics
The objective of this paper is to determine spectral bands that are best suited for characterizing agricultural crop biophysical variables. The data for this study comes from ground-level hyperspectral reflectance measurements of cotton, potato...
The challenges in the dry areas are many and varied in their intensity to constrain agriculture for the resource-poor farmer. Underlying these challenges is, however, a common factor—water, or at least scarcity of this precious commodity. It is...
Management alternatives for improved durum wheat production under supplemental irrigation in Syria
In the Mediterranean zone, efforts to optimize combinations of supplemental irrigation (SI), improved varieties, nitrogen (N) and sowing dates aim to improve and stabilize cereal yields and maintain quality, especially for durum wheat. Thus, a 4...
Survey for chickpea and lentil virus diseases in Ethiopia
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) are among the major cool-season food legumes grown in Ethiopia. Fungal and viral diseases are important factors limiting production of these two crops in the Country. As there is...
Inheritance and Linkage Analysis of Frost Injury in Lentil
Radiation-frost injury is an important abiotic constraint to lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) production in West Asia, but no information has been published on the inheritance of radiation-frost injury in lentil. The objectives of the study were...
Caravan 10 : Review of agriculture in the dry areas
This issue of Caravan will provide a glimpse of the holistic approach that ICARDA is employing to achieve increased efficiency in food production from the dry, marginal areas.
Inheritance and linkage relationships of days to flower and morphological loci in lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus subsp. culinaris)
Lentils from south Asia differ markedly in days to flower and several other traits from lentils in other major lentil producing areas of the world such as west Asia. Single-gene inheritance and a polygenic system were observed to control days to...
