Barley and Vetch yields from dryland rotations with varying tillage and residue management under Mediterranean conditions
With increasing land-use pressure in semi-arid, dryland Middle Eastern agriculture, fallow-based cereal production has given way to cropping intensification, including legume-based rotations along with conservation tillage ...
Adaptation of Lentil to the Mediterranean Environment. I. Factors Affecting Yield Under Drought Conditions
Lentil frequently suffers from drought stress towards the end of the growing season in rainfed Mediterranean farming systems. This study aimed to quantify the contribution of yield potential under irrigated conditions and ...
Stages of Development in Lentil
Uniform descriptions of developmental stages in crops improve communication among producers, researchers and others. This paper gives a uniform system for the description of the developmental stages of lentil that we believe ...
Effect of Sowing Date on the Yield of Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)
A sowing date experiment was conducted over 6 years (1978–1983) to determine the optimum sowing date for lentil on vertisols in Debre Zeit area, Ethiopia. The results showed that sowing between the last week of June and ...
Lodging in Lentil as Affected by Plant Population, Soil Moisture and Genotype
The effects of levels of soil moisture and plant population on lodging and associated losses from mechanical harvesting of two lentil genotypes, one susceptible and one resistant to lodging, were investigated during 1986–87 ...
On-farm Assessment of Improved Crop Production Practices in Northwest Syria. II. Lentil
The production of lentil (Lens culinaris) was examined in 24 on-farm trials conducted over three seasons (1985/86 to 1987/88) in northwest Syria to examine the main effects and interaction of sowing date, weed control, ...
Long-Term Cereal-Based Rotation Trials in the Mediterranean Region: Implications for Cropping Sustainability
With increasing global populations particularly in developing countries, and a limited or even shrinking supply of arable land, the challenge to agriculture is to meet the world's food and fiber needs without reducing the ...
Adaptation of Lentil to the Mediterranean Environment. II. Response to Moisture Supply
Lentil is generally grown as a rainfed crop in areas of West Asia and North Africa where rainfall is highly variable. This study aimed to measure genetic responses to variation in moisture supply in the yield of seed and ...
Effect of Sowing Date on the Growth and Yield of Lentil in a Rainfed Mediterranean Environment
The effect of advancing the sowing date from early February to November on the growth and seed and straw yields of three large seeded and three small seeded lines of lentil (Lens culinaris) was studied under rainfed ...
