  1. The Agriculture Survey Part 1 November21, 2004

  2. The Agriculture Survey The Agriculture survey done to build up a data base for Agriculture in Iraq . It is the only source of information after the war. It is a unique source for policy making and testing hypothesis. It shows the great opportunities to invest in agriculture.

  3. 70% of farm land is state owned. Farming characterized by large input subsidies. Low productivity (30% of possible productivity according to Mosul study). Significant salinity and calcinate problems stem from water quality issues on irrigated land. Overview

  4. Land Suitable for Mountains الجبال Cultivation 8.04 % الأرض الصالحة للزراعة 24.68 % Desert الصحارى Pasture المراعي 41.90 % 14.88 % Forest الغابات % 2.58 Rivers And Lakes Swamp & Marshes الأنهار والبحيرات ( Ponds ) المستنقعات 3 . 37 % 4.54 % Land Resources 1 Donum=2.5 Hectare

  5. Rainfed الاراضي الديمية 29.33 % Irrigated الاراضي المروية % 70.67 Actually Cultivated Effected By 32.95% Salinity الاراضي الزراعية المتاثرة بالملوحة 67 . 0541 % District of Cultivated Land 1 Donum=2.5 Hectare 67% of the irrigated land is classified salt-affected soils, which require special agriculture management

  6. Management: Salt Affected Soils Recommendation : 1.Reduce soil salinity through construction of drainage systems to lower high water tables and allow leaching of salts. 2.Improve productivity of land through:   A) Addition of organic matter source to improve soil structure . B) Addition of balanced fertilizers, including N, P, K and micronutrients (Zn and Fe).   C) Ensure the practice of deep plowing to break the clay hardpan and the practice of land leveling and smoothing.   D) Follow crop rotation.

  21. Remarks • Suggestions for Increasing Agricultural Productivity: • Rainfed : • Apply balanced fertilization ( N,P,K and Zn, Fe) . • Practice modern mechanization for soil preparation. • Implement of supplementary irrigation for semi-rainfed areas to ensure the proper level of moisture required for wheat and barley crops. • Lower Jezira Region: • Implement of water harvest techniques to where water is the most limiting facture to improve barley fodder productivity. • Apply of balanced fertilization. • Gypsiferous Soils ( in Jazira, Salihadian, Anbar and Al-Tamim Area): • Use sprinkler irrigation instead of furrow irrigation for Wheat, Barley, Corn, sunflower. • Use drip irrigation for vegetable crops ( Tomato, Cucumber, Eggplant and Watermelon) • Implement needed fustigation practice. • Irrigated Area in Mesopotamian Plain: • Use sprinkler irrigation instead of traditional ( surface ) method. • Apply recommended fertilizers ( Macro. And Micronutrients). • Follow crops rotations. • Add of organic matter source to improve soil structure. • Ensure practice of deep plowing, land leveling, and smoothing.
