Stakeholder Consultations Workshop Egyptian Irrigated Agriculture: Sustainable Intensification and Climate Adaptation Strategies at the Forefront
On May 19, 2024, ICARDA is hosting a stakeholder consultation workshop about Egyptian irrigated agriculture at the hotel Holiday Inn Maadi. The event is co-organized by CGIAR's Excellence in Agronomy Initiative.
Arginine promotes seed energy metabolism, increasing wheat seed germination at low temperature
Low temperatures during germination inhibit seed growth, lead to small and weak seedlings, and significantly reduce the wheat yield. Alleviating the adverse effects of low temperature on wheat seed germination is highly important for achieving...
Advancing Climate-Resilient Agriculture At SIAM 2024
At SIAM 2024, ICARDA’s delegation highlighted our pioneering research on climate-smart crops, the biodiversity conservation of our world-class genebank, the crucial role of women cooperatives for resilient agri-food systems, and the key role of young scientists in shaping tomorrow’s agricultural solutions in the face of accelerating climate change.
Renewable Energy and Net House Integration for Sustainable Cucumber Crop Production in the Arabian Peninsula: Extending Growing Seasons and Reducing Resource Use
In most desert ecosystems of the Arabian Peninsula Region (APRP), vegetable production is carried out under controlled environment structures covered with polycarbonate sheets and inbuilt evaporative cooling systems. The areas with mild winter...
The International Day of Plant Health 2024 – marked on 12 May under the theme “Plant health, safe trade, and digital technology” – showcases ICARDA’s crucial role in preventing the spread of pests and pathogens.
