Synopsis (short abstract) At the request of the management of Al lrrah deciduous horticulture station, a regional research station of AREA (Agricultural Research and Extension Authority of the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation), a soil survey was carried out at Al Irrah research station during July and August 1996. In the history of Al lrrah Farm, it actually was the first soil survey describing the soil to a depth of 120 cm. It was also the first time that a detailed soil map for the whole farm was made. In 1984 a soil survey was carried out for the topsoil (0-30cm) only. This survey was meant as a preparation for irrigation experiments on wheat and barley. The conclusion of this survey was that the soils were not very saline, and some had calcareous horizons.

    This report is one of a series of reports prepared by the Land Resource Section of FAO's "Environmental Resource Assesment for Rural Land Use Planning Project" (ERARLUP). Part of the Land Resource Section's programme is to conduct detailed soil surveys of the different regional agricultural research stations of AREA', distributed all over Yemen. The objectives are to make a comprehensive soil resource inventory, test the representativeness of the soils identified at the research station vis-a- vis the soils found in the region, define the main soil and water constraints in relation to crop production, and recommend suitable management and agricultural practices in relation to soil and water. This report describes various aspects of the soils of the Central Highlands Agriculntre Research Station (CHARS). It covers the development of the soils, their properties in relation to the landscape, their chemical and physical properties and the impact these have on crop performance. In addition , some recommendations are given on how to improve the soils and/or crop growth.

    To realize the potential of vegetable production, a reliable access to quality seeds adapted to the conditions of Cambodia is a necessity – and therefore developing the local capacity for vegetable research is a priority. A well-working research station has the potential to increase the domestic production of vegetables and enhance food and nutrition security at the local level. An improved vegetable production will have positive impacts on both nutrition and income, as vegetables are typically more nutritious and have a higher market price than rice. FAO interventions will focus on building the capacity of the existing Khbal Koh Vegetable Research Station.
