Des variétés de blé intelligentes pour le climat en Afghanistan

 

THREE NEW DROUGHT-ADAPTED WHEAT VARIETIES RELEASED IN AFGHANISTAN ICARDA and the Agricultural Research Institute of Afghanistan (ARIA) have released three new Drought-Resistant Wheat Varieties in Afghanistan. The new varieties were developed and field-tested through ICARDA’s and ARIA’s intensive research program under the CLAP project of the Ministry of Agriculture in Afghanistan funded by IFAD. They are producing optimum yields in water-scarce environments, showing excellent performance under supplementary irrigation conditions, and are resistant to yellow rust disease which causes significant yield loss in the region.   FIND OUT MORE PROTECTING SOIL, PROTECTING PEOPLE This year's World Soil Day theme, "Keep soil alive, protect soil biodiversity,” helps us to focus on current threats to soil biodiversity & what ICARDA is doing in dry regions to protect it.
