Abstract

Cultivating the most important staple food crops in Jordan, both bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.), faces critical problems regarding food security anxiety. In addition, climate change and global warming have affected wheat production in Jordan. An innovative, practical technology that comprises new management practices, equipment, fertilizers, herbicides, and improved varieties has been introduced as a step on the right track towards facing food security challenges. In this study, two varieties of Triticum durum the improved variety (MARU1) and the local cultivar (HOURANI) were examined, under field conditions at Maru Agricultural Station in northern Jordan during the 2016–2017 and 2017–2018 growing seasons. Treatments applied were fertilization (four different combinations) and weed control method (three combinations). In both growing seasons, both grain yield (GYLD) and biological yield (BYLD) were significantly increased when planting the new variety (MARU1) and combined Urea+DAP (F1) and also 2,4-D+Antilope (W3). Using the full-package technology was proven to be crucial for improving wheat yield potential in the rainfed dry land of Jordan. Implementing technology transfer and adopting an improved variety and proper crop management techniques have significantly enhanced farmer livelihood, increased profits, and mitigated food security anxiety.
