\u00a0 As part of the research and scientific efforts undertaken by the Genetic Resources Department at AFCAR Center, the Department is working to evaluate faba bean genotypes introduced from the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA).<\/h3>\n

\u00a0 Under the supervision of Assistant Professor Dr. Ma\u2019an Mohammed Saleh, Head of the Genetic Resources Department, Agri. Engineers Sardar Hussein Aswad and Fadi Korkis Aziz carried out field preparation activities on Thursday, 5 November 2026, at an agricultural field in Bashiqa Subdistrict.<\/h3>\n

\u00a0 The field was prepared to accommodate the cultivation of different faba bean genotypes and evaluate their performance under one of the diverse agro-environmental conditions found in Nineveh Governorate. This work aims to strengthen research efforts related to the conservation of plant genetic resources.<\/h3>\n

\u00a0 This step is part of the activities undertaken by the Genetic Resources Department to support applied agricultural research, conserve crop genetic diversity, and establish a research foundation that contributes to the development and advancement of the agricultural sector.<\/h3>\n

\u00a0 This activity is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly:<\/h3>\n
