This study focused on various approaches to rationalising the selection of test environments using on-farmtrial data from 5 lentil (Lens culiniaris Medikus subsp. culinaris) genotypes. It was conducted over 3 years in 30 environments across 16...
Genetic variability among 122 Rhynchosporium secalis isolates collected from barley in three regions of Tunisia was investigated using host differentials, amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP), and microsatellite markers. The isolates were...
Sodic and alkali soils are characterized by the occurrence of excess sodium (Na+) to levels that can adversely affect soil structure and disturb the availability of nutrients for plant growth. Structural problems in these soils are created by certain...
This section examines the main types of marginal-quality water: wastewater from urban and
peri-urban areas and saline or sodic agricultural drainage water and groundwater
There is an emerging interest in on-the-go mapping of apparent soil electrical conductivity (ECa) as a surrogate spatial map for soil properties. The quality (or precision and accuracy) of ECa maps as affected by the swath width of the commercial ECa...
Competition among eight Rhynchosporium secalis isolates was assessed during parasitic and saprophytic phases of the disease cycle in field experiments conducted at two locations and over two growing seasons. The eight isolates were inoculated onto...
The Arabian Peninsula Regional Program (APRP) of ICARDA serves the seven countries of the Arabian Peninsula, namely, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the Sultanate of Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and the Republic of Yemen. The program...
