Crop Diversity and Food Security – Highlights from Rabat
ICARDA was honored by the visit of high-level dignitaries to our office in Rabat and the INRA-Morocco/ICARDA Research Station in Marchouch in celebration of Crop Diversity Day
Identification of novel genes associated with herbicide tolerance in Lentil (Lens culinaris ssp. culinaris Medik.)
Weeds pose a major constraint in lentil cultivation, leading to decrease farmers’ revenues by reducing the yield and increasing the management costs. The development of herbicide tolerant cultivars is essential to increase lentil yield. Even...
ICARDA scientists are disseminating a new mungbean variety to farmers at a Seed Distribution event in Uzbekistan. The event is co-organized by the Ministry of Agriculture, GIZ and EcoAral.
Targeted improvement of plant-based protein: Genome-wide association mapping of a lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) diversity panel
The world is increasingly looking to plant-based sources to meet its protein needs.Multiple factors are driving this progression, ranging from nutritional and ethical con-siderations to climate change and population growth. As a pulse crop...
Environmental, economic and quality assessment of hybrid solar-electric drying of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae
The exploration of insects as a sustainable protein source is gaining interest as an alternative solution to ensure food security and meet the increasing global food demand. Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) Larvae (BSFL) present a natural...
Toward an operational tool to integrate land degradation neutrality into land use planning: LUP4LDN
Land use planning (LUP) to achieve Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) needs methods and tools that support the identification of best LUP solutions in terms of transitions from current degradative land use (LU) and land management (LM) practices...
Detection and Molecular Characterization of Phytoplasma Associated with Phyllody Disease on Dimorphotheca Pluvialis in Egypt
During the spring of 2021-2022, imported grown African daisy (Dimorphotheca pluvialis L. Moench) plants (Family: Asteracae) exhibiting symptoms of phyllody phytoplasma, such as phyllody and virescence of flowers, and witches' broom, were...
Unveiling the Synergistic Effects of Phosphorus Fertilization and Organic Amendments on Red Pepper Growth, Productivity and Physio-Biochemical Response under SalineWater Irrigation and Climate-Arid Stresses
In regions facing water scarcity and soil salinity, mitigating these abiotic stresses is paramount for sustaining crop production. This study aimed to unravel the synergistic effects of organic matter and phosphorus management in reducing the...
The FAST initiative, hosted by FAO, aims to transform agriculture and food systems by 2030. At the first Member's meeting, CGIAR and ICARDA will be represented by Aly Abousabaa, DG of ICARDA and Regional Director CWANA of CGIAR.
