\u00a0 Emphasizing the importance of precise technical management in ensuring the success of rainfed agriculture in northern Iraq, the Center for Arid Farming and Conservation Agriculture Research at University of Mosul organized a scientific workshop on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, in cooperation with the Department of Studies and Planning \/ Sustainable Development Unit at the University Presidency. The workshop was entitled:<\/h3>\n

\u201cImproving Wheat Establishment in Rainfed Agriculture \u2013 Northern Iraq: An Analytical Study of Excessive Seeding Depth and Sustainable Solutions.\u201d<\/h3>\n

\u00a0 The workshop highlighted that excessive seeding depth is not merely a minor technical error, but a decisive factor that may lead to poor germination rates, weak seedling vigor, and reduced plant density. These issues directly affect wheat productivity, particularly in rainfed areas characterized by fluctuating rainfall amounts and uneven temporal distribution.<\/h3>\n
