ICARDA
operates four experimental station sites in Syria, including the main research
station at Tel Hadya, near Aleppo, and two sites in Lebanon. These sites represent
a variety of agroclimatic conditions, typical of those found in the WANA region.
ICARDA and the Lebanese Agricultural research Organization (LARI) now share
the use of the sites in Lebanon. ICARDA continues to use these sites, as before
for commodity research trials in winter, and for off-season advance of breeding
material and for rust screening in cereals in summer.
