For three months commencing February 12, 2012, ICBA hosted Mr Kaddour Damouche, an intern, who had been sponsored by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to undertake scientific training at ICBA. In a mix of training delivery modes from the laboratory to the design and setting up of field trials, Mr Damouche worked with ICBA specialists. During the internship period, Mr Damouche worked with ICBA specialists in the laboratory, field trials and visits as well as data analysis and report formulation on topics covering water management and irrigation, salinity monitoring, and screening of salt-tolerant forage crops.
