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...
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...
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 expertise...
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 the...
Low‐input production of barley on the predominantly calcareous soils in most countries of West Asia and North Africa is affected by drought and a low availability of P and Zn. Especially during the early growth stages, P and Zn deficiencies retard...
