The Agriculture Survey Part 1 November21, 2004
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.
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

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.

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.
