Obiettivo Water is recognized as the most limiting factor in Mediterranean regions, though N shortages seem as important as water scarcity. Breeding under these circumstances has been consistently funded by the EU-INCO programme. As crop productivity for a particula r region is the consequence of the breeding x management x weather interaction, understanding the bases for improved management has been becoming increasingly important. The general objective of this proposal is to identify and transfer improvements in man agement of wheat and barley through increasing the capture and/or the use efficiency of water and N. The project is based on the premise that understanding the physiological bases of the responses to water x N shortages would allow the design of more consi stent management practices to overcome the deficiencies explored, either by directly using the concepts in such strategic design or by being able to build up (or adapt an existing) robust simulation models based on this knowledge and then allowing the test ing of different alternatives exploring a large degree of G x E interactions. We aim to improve the understanding on the determinants of the crop ability to capture more water and/or to use water more efficiently in a range of N availability conditions; as well as to capture more N and/or to use N more efficiently in a range of water availability conditions. In this case, both ranges will be characterized and described within the context of the project, (i) identifying plant/crop characteristics that may co nfer superior ability, (ii) building up a mechanistic simulation model used in the design of management strategies, (iii) testing agronomic hypothetical management strategies in these environments, and (iv) evaluating the socio-economic impact of the adopt ion of the improved strategies, and actually transferring the outcomes to the producers (with Farmers Associations in our partnership) Campo scientifico social scienceseconomics and businesseconomicsproduction economicsproductivitysocial scienceseconomics and businessbusiness and managementagricultural sciencesagriculture, forestry, and fisheriesagriculturegrains and oilseedscerealsnatural sciencesbiological sciencesbotany Parole chiave Cerreal production Crop management Nitrogen use efficiency Water use efficiency Programma(i) FP6-INCO - Specific measures in support of international cooperation: Specific activities covering wider field of research under the Focusing and Integrating Community Research programme 2002-2006.
