Two varieties of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and faba bean (Vicia faba), differing in drought tolerance according to the classification of the International Center for Agronomic Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA), were irrigated with waters of...

Seven varieties of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum), provided by ICARDA, were tested in a greenhouse experiment for their salt tolerance. Afterwards two varieties, differing in salt tolerance, were irrigated with waters of three different...

Turkey is located in the Fertile Crescent, an area in the Mediterranean region where, some 10,000 years ago, barley, wheat, lentil, pea, flax and vetch were domesticated—indicating the country's rich experience in agricultural production. Though...

Studies of clay mineralogy and related chemical composition are rarely connected with implications for soil management in the field. However, this study attempts to manifest the practical utilization of analytical data for determining the...

A study was conducted during the 1996–97 crop growth season at ICARDA in northern Syria, to investigate the influence of wheat canopy architecture on the partitioning of moisture between soil evaporation and crop transpiration, on a soil with...

Random amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs) and amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) were used to estimate the genetic diversity between and within 21 populations of Pinus brutia collected from five different regions of Syria. After...

This issue of Caravan provides examples of the impact of ICARDA's collaborative research activities and expanding partnerships on improving livelihoods in the dry areas. In this issue: a) Special Report: ICARDA and the Millennium Development...

This paper presents a detailed description of the applied methodology used to study collective action in natural resource management. Data were collected in 48 villages in northeastern Burkina Faso, at the community, institutional, household and...

The ARC-Libya/ICARDA partnership started in the 1980s and was mainly within the context of the support to countries in the Maghreb Region. Mutual collaboration between Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco was backed by ICARDA with technical...

Crop rotation serves as a mechanism for developing sustainable crop production systems. Croprotation trials are used to identify agronomic input factors suitable for use in a cropping system. In crop-rotation trials, experimental errors within...
