Download - Durum wheat: Increasing Productivity & adding value, presented by Dr. Miloudi M. Nachit, ICARDA
IFAD/ICARDA Knowledge Exchange Workshop, 26-29 October 2009
Knowledge and Technology Exchange for Enhanced
Quality of IFAD/ICARDA Operations in the NENA region
Durum wheat: increasing Productivity & adding value
Miloudi M. Nachit
Durum growing areas in NENA are projected to become Drier, Hotter, & Variable
Durum wheat in NENA Dryland
• is a major source of income
• Provides 50% of the daily needs in calories and protein.
WANADDINWest Asia and North Africa Durum Improvement Network
for dryland of Algeria, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, & Turkey
• Durum cultivars with drought tolerance,
diseases/Insects resistance, & grain quality developed
• Socioeconomic studies conducted and major constraints identified
• Human capacity development for NARS conducted
IRDEN built on the achievements of
WANADDIN
1996-1999
2003-2006
IRDEN Project
1. Transfer of technologies through on-farm demonstration;
2. Improvement of seed production and distribution (in Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia);
3. Promotion of add-value technologies (Algeria, Syria and Tunisia)
4. Back-up research (Morocco, Turkey and ICARDA-Aleppo)
5. Human capacity development (for all 5 countries).

IRDEN Impact
• Improved production technology (CV*AM):– ~ 65% in Algeria – ~ 50% in Turkey– ~ 30% in Morocco– ~ 20% in Syria– ~ 15% in Tunisia– In specific cases, like Hessian fly resistant CV in Morocco: yield advantage > 300%.
• On-farm seed processing:Lead farmers trained in seed processing to produce on-farm quality for farmers in
marginal dry areas
• On-farm add-value durum products to diversify income
Morocco: On-farm demonstration of newly developed durum varieties and crop management practices
A promising harvest:
Hessian fly resistant and drought tolerant durum varieties released in Morocco.

From: Mesut Keser [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, October 26, 2009 1:46 PMTo: Nachit, Miloudi (ICARDA)Cc: Baum, Michael (ICARDA)Subject: Seed RequestDear Miloudi,I hope this finds you well.Urfa Institute sent one of ICARDA lines, Ammar 6, to State Cultivar Test Center for registration. He informed me that he would like to have original seed of Ammar for seed multiplication as to have enough seed when it is registered. If you can send 50 Kg seed of Ammar 6, he will plant this year for seed multiplication.Could you pls advice.Best regards.Mesut

IRDEN BACKUP RESEARCH
Post-harvest processing of durum wheat into frike as an income source for poor resource
farmers
– 1) Contribution of on-farm frike processing to rural household income;
– 2) Constraints/opportunities for enhancing the contribution of on-farm frike processing to improve rural welfare.
Frike Processing
Spike harvest at dough stage
Burning
Threshing
Grain separation
Cleaning
Storage
Frike processing in Syria: roasting of durum spikes through using butane gas as a fuel. Frike quality traits: 1) gluten strength and 2) greenness

Frike quality traits
Frike contribution to farmer’s household
– a significant income-generating activity for resource poor households: up to 50 percent of total farm income.
– the income from Frike is used both to cover basic household expenses and to pay for agricultural inputs.
