Synopsis (short abstract) The extent of damage due to weeds depends on the type of weeds, crop stage, and duration of competition between weeds and wheat crop. In an early (September) planted wheat crop, weeds can be a problem before winter and should be controlled. A greater weed problem occurs in spring after winter rainfall and when not possible to walk in the field. Weed infestation that occur before winter can become a serious problem in early spring making it difficult to control due to high density and extensive growth of both weeds and wheat crop

    Recent population growth in Uzbekistan necessitates increase in productivity of agricultural crops extensively or intensively. This report shows how the concept of a farmer field school can help to improve the food security of small farmers and to involve uncultivated desert lands in production of food crops.By reading this report, you will find out how two farmer field schools were implemented in research sites located in Durmon and Chuya villages of Uzbekistan. The report explains that the improved wheat variety resulted in 116 to 241 percent higher grain yield than the local variety. The second major outcome specified in this report is that winter chickpea was successfully cultivated in the cold winter desert. Read this report to learn the following important impacts:-Adoption of improved wheat varieties would play an important role in improving food security of the farmers living in the cold winter desert of Uzbekistan.-Food security in the cold winter deserts can be improved by cultivating chickpea on previously uncultivated land and help ease pressure on the limited cultivable land in Uzbekistan.
