520			_aThirty seven on-farm trials in 2001102 and 2002/03 growing seasons were conducted to demonstrate the beneficial effects of improved crop production technologies (ICPTs) on the productivity of barley and wheat over farmers' practices in arid and semi-arid regions of Jordan. The lCPTs were compared with the tanners' method in an area of one hectare in each of the farmers' fields for each treatment (i.e. ICPTs versus farmers' practices). The results showed significant differences for grain and straw yield and an increase in harvest index, indicating the positive inl1uencc of ICPTs on the farm economic return. Compared to farmers' practices, ICPTs resulted in an increased mean income of 128.02 and 228.13 US$ ha.1 for barley with a bendit-cost ratio of 1.98 and 1.79 l()r the application of lCPTs compared to 1.80 and 1.38 For farmers' practices in 2001/02 and 2002/03 growing seasons, respectively. Similarly, the mean income obtained from the ICPTs application in wheat was 182.27 and 133.84 US $ ha.1 more than that resulted from farmers practices with a benefit-cost ratio of 3.25 and 2.18 for the ICPTs compared to 3.0 and 1.86 for farmers' practices in the first and second growing season, respectively. This additional income could substantially benefit small-scale farmers and improve their livelihoods in Jordan. The results from the current study indicate the potential benefits of ICPTs in enhancing barley and wheat yields, and as consequence increase net returns in the arid and semi-arid regions of Jordan.
