ICARDA at the 18th Salon International de l’Agriculture au Maroc (SIAM)
ICARDA will participate in the 18th edition of the International Agriculture Show in Morocco (SIAM), taking place from 20 to 28 April 2026 in Meknes, under the theme “Sustainability of Animal Production and Food Sovereignty.”
Building climate resilience in the MENA region: a feminist political ecology of agroecology and neglected and underutilized crop species
This study explores the factors associated with the cultivation of neglected and underutilized crop species (NUS) and agroecology adoption (crop rotation with legumes) amid the climate crisis in rural Lebanon and Morocco. A mixed-methods...
Genetic parameters estimation of fatty acid and related traits in the longissimus Thoracis of Hu sheep
The influence of fatty acids (FAs) on meat quality and health is widely recognized. However, estimates of genetic parameters for FAs in sheep muscle remain scarce. Here, data from 1230 Hu sheep with integrated pedigree information were used to...
Context-specific agronomic solutions for achieving agronomic gains with reduced environmental footprints in irrigated drylands of Egypt
CONTEXT Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is Egypt's staple crop, crucial for national food security. However, the country remains heavily reliant on imports to meet domestic demand. Enhancing production sustainably requires a systematic assessment of...
Corrigendum to “Litter size, litter weight, and lamb survivability of Doyogena sheep managed under community-based breeding program in Ethiopia” [Heliyon Volume 8, Issue 11, November 2022, Article e11576]
In this article, the authors omitted a statement regarding ethical approval for the research presented in this publication, which is required under the journal's policies. The authors confirm that ethical approval was obtained from Areka...
Harnessing the plant‑associated microbiome: Rhizosphere and endophyte plant growth‑promoting bacteria (PGPB) to mitigate salt stress in the Egyptian wheat
Salt stress poses a significant threat to wheat productivity, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions such as Egypt, where soil salinity severely limits crop yield and long-term agricultural sustainability. With increasing recognition of the...
Estimation of Genetic Parameters for Deviation in Age at Market Weight and Deviation in Weight at Market Age in Menz Sheep
Reducing the number of days from birth to slaughter is one strategy to improve animal feed and environmental efficiency. The export market use yearling sheep weighing 22–30 kg and usually purchases from large and small-scale traders at an early...
Moderate late sowing balances wheat yield and dough quality by regulating temperature-mediated nitrogen accumulation and translocation
Although numerous studies have reported the effects of late sowing on wheat yield, its impact on the microstructure and processing quality of wheat dough remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate how late sowing influenced wheat quality...
