Title: Iraq - Initiatives to Spread the SRI in the Middle East and Central Asia
Presented at: The Workshop to Enhance Cooperation and Sharing among SRI National Networks in Asia
Date: October 18-19, 2018
Venue: Leverage Business Hotel-Skudai, Johor Bahru, MalaysiaThe Dry arc in brief
The DryArc Initiative aims to develop innovative and resilient agri-food systems in dryland regions through a global partnership. It will pursue two pathways: 1) combining existing technologies into systemic innovations tailored to each context, and 2) accelerating the scaling up of impact-targeted innovations. Over four phases from 2019-2030, DryArc will co-design solutions with stakeholders, strengthen capacities, and establish an enabling environment through decision support, monitoring and evaluation, and attracting investment. The goal is to transform agri-food systems and support food/nutrition security and employment in dryland regions vulnerable to problems like land degradation, water scarcity, and climate change impacts.

Options for intensifying cereal-legume cropping systems in West Africa
This document summarizes research on options for intensifying cereal-legume cropping systems in West Africa. The research tested good agronomic practices (GAPs) like cereal-legume rotations, strip-cropping of maize with cowpea or groundnut, integrated soil fertility management with maize, soybean and cowpea, and integrated crop-livestock systems. Key results found that strip-cropping maize with cowpea or groundnut improved productivity, and that applications of rhizobium inoculant, triple super phosphate, or both improved soybean yields. Keeping sheep and goats on fallow land before cropping along with NPK fertilizer also improved maize yields. Ad

- 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals aim to end poverty and tackle climate change by 2030, with climate risk as the 13th goal. However, carbon dioxide levels and global temperatures have continued rising in recent years.
- Climate change is projected to increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events like droughts, floods and heatwaves. This poses risks for achieving the SDGs, as agriculture is vulnerable to climate impacts.
- India has committed to reducing its emission intensity and has established national missions on climate change. However, more action is needed globally and in agriculture specifically to limit warming to 1.5°C and manage climate risks to food security.Climate smart agriculture
The document provides initial recommendations for a Climate-Smart Agriculture Project proposal in Malawi. It defines Climate-Smart Agriculture as increasing productivity sustainably, enhancing resilience to climate change impacts, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The recommendations focus on the first two pillars of CSA - sustainably increasing productivity and adaptation. Specific recommendations include incorporating flood management techniques, sustainable water management, soil management to increase carbon content, integrating trees into farming systems, and investing in research, extension, and monitoring programs to track progress of CSA interventions.

0735 Facing the Ecology of Green Revolution Rice: The Controversy Around the ...SRI-Rice, Dept. of Global Development, CALS, Cornell University
The document discusses the controversy surrounding the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) and its implications for rice improvement strategies. SRI uses different cultivation methods compared to conventional rice farming, including single seedling transplanting, alternating wet and dry fields, and more. While SRI proponents claim it can yield higher than conventional methods, IRRI researchers are skeptical and believe existing knowledge is sufficient. The legacy of IRRI's "green revolution" approach focusing on genetic improvements is examined, as well as how SRI presents an alternative model that considers more environmental factors. Prospects discussed include other lateral approaches being difficult to stop and IRRI transitioning to a knowledge and training center role.Soil and nitrogen management in maize
This document summarizes the objectives and methodology of a study evaluating the effects of char, a byproduct of coal burning, in nitrogen management of maize soils in a semi-arid region. The study aims to: 1) Measure nitrogen losses from loam and sandy loam soils amended with various rates of char, 2) Evaluate the effect of char on maize fertilized with urea and manure in fields, and 3) Test sensors to estimate maize nitrogen status throughout growth stages. The results are expected to optimize nitrogen fertilizer use, increase nitrogen use efficiency and maize yields, and provide a tool to help small-holder farmers.

Introducing Kenyan Participation - Producing More with Less Input with SRISRI-Rice, Dept. of Global Development, CALS, Cornell University
This document summarizes a presentation on introducing Kenyan participation in climate-smart agriculture practices through the System of Rice Intensification (SRI). It notes that 40 participants from farmer groups, researchers, government ministries, and international organizations are attending. SRI trials in Kenya have shown yields can be increased by up to 2 bags/acre compared to conventional methods, with a 28% increase in net income. Key challenges include mindsets resistant to change and lack of proper weeders and extension workers, but lessons indicate that scientific basis for SRI has been proven and adoption rates are improving through training. The presentation concludes by thanking participants and noting that SRI results in rice being "eaten with a smile."1401 SRI: Opportunities for Liberia

This document discusses the impacts of climate change on Indian agriculture and strategies to increase climate resilience. It finds that climate change is posing a major threat to Indian agriculture and food security, with increasing temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and more frequent droughts and floods. The agriculture sector is highly vulnerable as over half of Indian agriculture depends on rainfall. The document outlines efforts under NICRA to establish climate resilient villages through diversified and integrated farming systems, drought and flood resistant crops, natural resource management, and other adaptation strategies. It finds that these villages have increased household nutrition, livelihoods, and ecological sustainability while reducing climate risks and progressing goals for sustainable development.African Soil Information System

African Soil Management: Adaptation of African Agriculture – Sustainable and Resilient Soil Management
An Overview of the System of Rice Intensification for Paddy Fields of Malaysia
Objectives: The objective of this paper was to present a general overview of rice agronomic practices and transplanting operations by considering the interactions of soil, plant, and machine relationship in line with the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) cultivation practice. Methods: Some of the problems challenging Malaysian rice growers, as well as yield increase and total rice production in the last four decades, were first addressed and discussed. The trend in the world rice production between 1961 and 2014 was used to predict the production in 2020 and to show that Southeast Asian countries are expected to increase their production by 27.2%. Findings: A consistently increasing pattern from 3.1 tons/ha during 1981 to 4.1 tons/ha in 2014 was observed in the rice yield of Malaysia due to the advances in technology and improved farming operations coupled with integrated management and control of resources. Various literature were reviewed and their findings of the best transplanting practices were summarized to discuss how SRI contributes to the production of higher rice yield with improved transplanting practices through a more effective root system. Our review shows that wider spacing, availability of solar radiation, medium temperature, soil aeration, and nutrient supply promote shorter Phyllochrons which increase the number of tillers in rice. In this regard, modification and development of a transplanter that complies with SRI specification require determination of optimum transplanting spacing, seed rate, and planting pattern to significantly improve yield. Improvement: It was concluded that for maximum yield, the SRI method in Malaysia should emphasize on the planting of one seedling per hill with space of 0.25 m for optimum water consumption, nutrient and pest management.

Norman Uphoff presented on improving food production in a water-constrained world through agroecological practices like the System of Rice Intensification (SRI). SRI has led to higher rice yields with less water, fewer inputs, and more resilience to stresses. It has now spread to over 50 countries and is being adapted for other crops. SRI achieves more productive plant phenotypes through improved soil conditions and plant establishment techniques. Trials in several countries found SRI uses 22-35% less water but yields are typically 11-25% higher. SRI also reduces costs, increases profits, and has environmental benefits like less greenhouse gas emissions and groundwater pollution. Uphoff argues SRI shows farmers can meetConservation Agriculture & SRI for climate change adaptation and food security

The Accelerating Impact of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA) project works to deliver a climate-smart African future driven by science and innovation in agriculture.
AICCRA does this by enhancing access to climate information services and climate-smart agricultural technology to millions of smallholder farmers in Africa.
With better access to climate technology and advisory services—linked to information about effective response measures—farmers can better anticipate climate-related events and take preventative action that help communities better safeguard their livelihoods and the environment.
AICCRA is supported by a grant from the International Development Association (IDA) of the World Bank, which is used to enhance research and capacity-building activities by the CGIAR centers and initiatives as well as their partners in Africa.
About IDA: IDA helps the world’s poorest countries by providing grants and low to zero-interest loans for projects and programmes that boost economic growth, reduce poverty, and improve poor people’s lives.
IDA is one of the largest sources of assistance for the world’s 76 poorest countries, 39 of which are in Africa.
Annual IDA commitments have averaged about $21 billion over circa 2017-2020, with approximately 61 percent going to Africa.Achieving NDC Ambition in Agriculture: How much does agriculture contribute t...

TOPIC OF DISCUSSION: CENTRIFUGATION SLIDESHARE.pptx
Centrifugation is a powerful technique used in laboratories to separate components of a heterogeneous mixture based on their density. This process utilizes centrifugal force to rapidly spin samples, causing denser particles to migrate outward more quickly than lighter ones. As a result, distinct layers form within the sample tube, allowing for easy isolation and purification of target substances.

Magmatic iron-meteorite parent bodies are the earliest planetesimals in the Solar System,and they preserve information about conditions and planet-forming processes in thesolar nebula. In this study, we include comprehensive elemental compositions andfractional-crystallization modeling for iron meteorites from the cores of five differenti-ated asteroids from the inner Solar System. Together with previous results of metalliccores from the outer Solar System, we conclude that asteroidal cores from the outerSolar System have smaller sizes, elevated siderophile-element abundances, and simplercrystallization processes than those from the inner Solar System. These differences arerelated to the formation locations of the parent asteroids because the solar protoplane-tary disk varied in redox conditions, elemental distributions, and dynamics at differentheliocentric distances. Using highly siderophile-element data from iron meteorites, wereconstruct the distribution of calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) across theprotoplanetary disk within the first million years of Solar-System history. CAIs, the firstsolids to condense in the Solar System, formed close to the Sun. They were, however,concentrated within the outer disk and depleted within the inner disk. Future modelsof the structure and evolution of the protoplanetary disk should account for this dis-tribution pattern of CAIs.

Wereport the study of a huge optical intraday flare on 2021 November 12 at 2 a.m. UT in the blazar OJ287. In the binary black hole model, it is associated with an impact of the secondary black hole on the accretion disk of the primary. Our multifrequency observing campaign was set up to search for such a signature of the impact based on a prediction made 8 yr earlier. The first I-band results of the flare have already been reported by Kishore et al. (2024). Here we combine these data with our monitoring in the R-band. There is a big change in the R–I spectral index by 1.0 ±0.1 between the normal background and the flare, suggesting a new component of radiation. The polarization variation during the rise of the flare suggests the same. The limits on the source size place it most reasonably in the jet of the secondary BH. We then ask why we have not seen this phenomenon before. We show that OJ287 was never before observed with sufficient sensitivity on the night when the flare should have happened according to the binary model. We also study the probability that this flare is just an oversized example of intraday variability using the Krakow data set of intense monitoring between 2015 and 2023. We find that the occurrence of a flare of this size and rapidity is unlikely. In machine-readable Tables 1 and 2, we give the full orbit-linked historical light curve of OJ287 as well as the dense monitoring sample of Krakow.
SDSS1335+0728: The awakening of a ∼ 106M⊙ black hole⋆
Context. The early-type galaxy SDSS J133519.91+072807.4 (hereafter SDSS1335+0728), which had exhibited no prior optical variations during the preceding two decades, began showing significant nuclear variability in the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) alert stream from December 2019 (as ZTF19acnskyy). This variability behaviour, coupled with the host-galaxy properties, suggests that SDSS1335+0728 hosts a ∼ 106M⊙ black hole (BH) that is currently in the process of ‘turning on’. Aims. We present a multi-wavelength photometric analysis and spectroscopic follow-up performed with the aim of better understanding the origin of the nuclear variations detected in SDSS1335+0728. Methods. We used archival photometry (from WISE, 2MASS, SDSS, GALEX, eROSITA) and spectroscopic data (from SDSS and LAMOST) to study the state of SDSS1335+0728 prior to December 2019, and new observations from Swift, SOAR/Goodman, VLT/X-shooter, and Keck/LRIS taken after its turn-on to characterise its current state. We analysed the variability of SDSS1335+0728 in the X-ray/UV/optical/mid-infrared range, modelled its spectral energy distribution prior to and after December 2019, and studied the evolution of its UV/optical spectra. Results. From our multi-wavelength photometric analysis, we find that: (a) since 2021, the UV flux (from Swift/UVOT observations) is four times brighter than the flux reported by GALEX in 2004; (b) since June 2022, the mid-infrared flux has risen more than two times, and the W1−W2 WISE colour has become redder; and (c) since February 2024, the source has begun showing X-ray emission. From our spectroscopic follow-up, we see that (i) the narrow emission line ratios are now consistent with a more energetic ionising continuum; (ii) broad emission lines are not detected; and (iii) the [OIII] line increased its flux ∼ 3.6 years after the first ZTF alert, which implies a relatively compact narrow-line-emitting region. Conclusions. We conclude that the variations observed in SDSS1335+0728 could be either explained by a ∼ 106M⊙ AGN that is just turning on or by an exotic tidal disruption event (TDE). If the former is true, SDSS1335+0728 is one of the strongest cases of an AGNobserved in the process of activating. If the latter were found to be the case, it would correspond to the longest and faintest TDE ever observed (or another class of still unknown nuclear transient). Future observations of SDSS1335+0728 are crucial to further understand its behaviour. Key words. galaxies: active– accretion, accretion discs– galaxies: individual: SDSS J133519.91+072807.4

- 1. Carbon Sequestering and Sustainability of Rice- Wheat Cropping System of South Asia by CSA, Resource Conservation Technologies Mr. Adnan Zahid CLIFF-GRADS Fellow, USDA-Agricultural Research Service, Oregon, USA Institute of Agricultural Sciences, University of the Punjab, Lahore Pakistan “South-South collaboration: Key mechanism for building capacity and scaling low-emissions technologies and practices” October 10th, 2019
- 2. Background • Rice/Wheat worldwide largest agricultural production system • 24Mha in Asia. • South Asia=Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP)= 13.5Mha • Conventional intensive practices • Illiterate farmers • Threatened the long-term sustainability • Degradation of soil health • Water scarcity • Nutrient imbalances • Low soil organic matter (SOM) contents • Environment pollution (Burning of residue, Smog) • Greenhouse-gas emissions (Global budget CH4:22–46%) • WE USE NATURAL RESOURCES OF SOIL BUT NEVER THINK OF IT RETURN
- 3. CSA innovative and scalable idea? Farmers Rice + Wheat + Legume residues CSA Strategies Improve Soil C biomass Forecasting by soil model Sustainability under changing climate
- 4. Initiative benefit from a south- south exchange? • Resources development • Technology transfer • Knowledge sharing • Help to develop infrastructure
- 5. How benefit: Countries/region? • South-Asia region • Pakistan • India • Farmer’s accessible climate smart agriculture unit at each village
- 6. Main results or impacts? • 1.6 billion people protection • Environment sustainability • Avoid puddled rice cultivation(Reduce GHG emission) • No burning of residue • Reduce agro-chemical application • Enhanced soil sustainability • SOM • Soil health • Nutrient/water management • Improve Farmer’s livelihood • Reduced input cost • Increase health
