No results found.Wheat rust diseases pose a serious threat to food security around the world. The wheat-producing countries in Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) are particularly vulnerable to these diseases because new races frequently appear. Without continuous surveillance to ensure effective monitoring and disease control, CWANA countries may face substantial grain yield losses. In collaboration with the International Centre for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), FAO has facilitated trainings on surveillance, race analysis and management of wheat rust diseases at the Regional Cereal Rust Research Center in Izmir, Turkey. In the last three years, over 50 national officers from Azerbaijan, Iraq, Iran (Islamic Republic of), Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Morocco, Tajikistan, Turkey and Uzbekistan have been trained. Rola El Amil, an Associate Researcher from the Lebanese Agricultural Research Institute (LARI), was among the trainees who attended the training course in 2018. Together with her peers, she was trained in the management and surveillance of rust diseases and race analysis, especially regarding yellow rust.
