Genomic Prediction to Deliver Heat Tolerant Wheat to the Senegal River Basin (Phase II)

Start date
01 Jan 2018
End date
31 Dec 2021
The partnership established between SLU and ICARDA will enable to strengthen the durum breeding effort of ICARDA to the Senegal River basin, with a positive effect on the local population. The collaborative research between SLU and ICARDA will provide detailed data on the tolerance of durum wheat to warming climates, but also pyramid multiple sources of heat tolerance through a very novel technique: genomic selection.

Enhancing Water Productivity by Improving On-Farm Irrigation Management in Minya and Fayoum, Egypt

Start date
27 Nov 2017
End date
31 Jul 2020
The productivity and sustainability of water use in agriculture in Egypt depend on efficient water use, at both the farm and basin levels. It is widely agreed that technical and political efforts to improve water use efficiency in irrigated areas are top priorities to mitigate water scarcity in the country. The most effective way to improve use efficiency of irrigation water is to provide better solutions which show farmers how to optimize distribution uniformity and application efficiency.

Support to the Integrated Pest Management program for the Cactus Cochineal 'Dactylopius opuntiae' via the identification of biological characteristics of the pest and its predators, Bio-insecticides and cactus resistant germplasm

Start date
11 Oct 2017
End date
30 Nov 2018
The project will carry out various actions for strengthening stakeholders capacities in detecting, monitoring, controlling and eradicating the Cactus Cochineal 'Dactylopius opuntiae' in Morocco. A short and a medium term action plan will be proposed based on an improved Integrated Pest Management program to stop the spreading and preventing its expansion to other Mediterranean regions

Conservation of pollinator diversity for enhanced climate change resilience

Start date
01 Jun 2017
End date
30 Nov 2023

The aim of this project is to conserve pollinator diversity to enhance climate change resilience in an economically self-sustaining way (without rewards for farmers and sponsored events). For this purpose, it introduces the Farming with Alternative Pollinators (FAP) approach in seven countries with Morocco as the benchmark country. FAP includes a cross-sector policy mix and the project contributes to six Sustainable Development Goals (1, 2, 3, 12, 13 and 15).

Third Agreement for Africa - RISING (Research in Sustainable Intensification for the Next Generation)

Start date
01 Apr 2017
End date
30 Nov 2022
In Africa, cereals and food legumes are produced during the rainy seasons. Smallholder farmers need to bridge the 3-4 months food and feed gaps until the main season harvest is available. Wheat and barley are important crops for food and income generation for poor farmers, especially in women-headed households. The legume component improves system productivity through nitrogen fixation, serving as a break for insect pests, weed and disease cycles affecting wheat and barley.

India Collaborative Program: Restricted funding for breeding for resistance to abiotic stresses in pulses & for 2017/2018 - 2017/2020 - 2020/2021

Start date
01 Apr 2017
End date
31 Mar 2023

The India Collaborative Program between the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and ICARDA was set up for a period of three years (2014-15/2016-17) to promote, among other areas, collaboration in research for genetic enhancement of yields, quality improvement and resistance to abiotic stresses, impact analysis of technological interventions on pulses, and mapping of rice-follows to identify areas for various crop cultivation using geo-informatics tools.
