This study was undertaken to measure the genetic diversity and population structure of 48 barley accessions introduced from ICARDA using 51 polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers to select unique parents for breeding. The mean polymorphic...
This study demonstrates how to predict and map soils within smallholder farms in fragile landscapes of Malawi. We used random forest algorithm and sentinel imagery to improve mapping of SOC and NPK farm level. SOC was predicted by bare soil...
Background Ethiopian sheep living in diferent climatic zones and having contrasting morphologies are a most promising subject of molecular-genetic research. Elucidating their genetic diversity and genetic structure is critical for designing...
Orobanche crenata is a parasitic weed that causes considerable yield losses on food legumes in Ethiopia and the Mediterranean region. Understanding the genetic diversity of Orobanche crenata using molecular techniques generate useful information in...
The implementation of conservation agriculture (CA) remains crucial for facing interannual variability in climatic conditions that impact durum wheat production and food security. The current work was conducted to assess the effects of the tillage...
We are delighted to launch the ICARDA Annual Report 2019.
Please take a moment to discover more about the important work ICARDA carries out to improve the resilience of rural livelihoods in dry areas through our innovative science and research-for...
This paper explores the role of women empowerment and labour on enabling farmers to cross two hurdles: adopt and intensify soil fertility management (SFM), coming after six decades of SFM research that disseminated several technologies. Despite the...
