On Thursday , 5 November 2026, the Genetic Resources Department at AFCAR Center launched a specialized campaign to treat the seeds of several wheat genotypes.

  The campaign was directly supervised by Dr. Islam Abdul-Sattar Asmair, with the participation of a select group of agricultural engineers and researchers from the Center. This activity was conducted as part of the Center’s research and extension plans aimed at strengthening food security and supporting the agricultural sector by developing high-yielding crop varieties capable of adapting to environmental and climatic challenges.

  These activities reflect the scientific approach adopted by the Center for Dryland Agriculture and Conservation in promoting advanced agricultural technologies that meet the requirements of sustainable agriculture. Through these ongoing experiments, researchers seek to develop scientific and practical solutions for farmers that help improve the efficiency of agricultural land use and achieve the highest possible economic returns from wheat production, given its fundamental importance as a staple food crop.

  This activity is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly:

• Goal 2: Zero Hunger.

• Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure.

• Goal 13: Climate Action.

• Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
