Yield and Cost Effects of Plot-Level Wheat Seed Rates and Seed Recycling Practices in the East Gojam Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia: Application of the Dose–Response Model
Previous studies investigated the effects of seed rates and seed recycling practices on the yield and yield-related variables. However, higher yield does not always guarantee cost-efficiency. This study aimed to investigate ...
Relationships of grain delta C-13 and delta O-18 with wheat phenology and yield under water-limited conditions
Stable carbon isotope composition (delta C-13) of dry matter has been widely investigated as a selection tool in cereal breeding programmes. However, reports on the possibilities of using stable oxygen isotope composition ...
Assessment of on-farm conservation of dryland agrobiodiversity and its impact on rural livelihoods in the Fertile Crescent
The Fertile Crescent encompasses a mega-center of diversity of crops and livestock of global importance. The
International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) coordinated a 5-year regional project
funded ...
Yield gain due to fungicide application in varieties of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) resistant and susceptible to leaf rust
In three independent experiments in Turkey and Kazakhstan, winter wheat germplasm with variable degrees of resistance to leaf rust was subjected to fungicide protection. The yield loss of genotypes susceptible to leaf rust ...
Massive Shift in Gene Expression during Transitions between Developmental Stages of the Gall Midge, Mayetiola Destructor
Mayetiola destructor is a destructive pest of wheat and has six developmental stages. Molecular mechanisms controlling the transition between developmental stages remain unknown. Here we analyzed genes that were expressed ...
An agronomic, economic and behavioral analysis of N application to cotton and wheat in post-Soviet Uzbekistan
Cotton and winter wheat play a vital role in Uzbek agriculture: the first crop is a vital component of the national export revenues, while the latter is key in achieving independence from grain imports. Due to these strategic ...
Evaluation of variation in Triticum dicoccum for wheat improvement in stress environments
A collection of accessions of cultivated emmer wheat, Triticum dicoccum, was evaluated for economically important traits at Tel Hadya in northern Syria. Useful variation among and within accessions was detected for agronomic ...
Soil organic matter and related physical properties in a Mediterranean wheat-based rotation trial
Under semi-arid Mediterranean conditions, limited moisture is the main constraint to rainfed cropping with wheat (Triticum aestivum), barley (Hordeum vulgare), and food and forage legumes. With increasing land-use pressure, ...
Genetic diversity assessment of Ethiopian tetraploid wheat landraces and improved durum wheat varieties using microsatellites and markers linked with stem rust resistance
A set of 77 markers was used to describe the genetic diversity in a group of 58 tetraploid wheat accessions. Analysis was performed using 31 neutral SSR markers, 31 SSR/STS markers linked with reported major stem rust ...
دراسة اجتماعية - اقتصادية لإدارة المكافحة المتكاملة لحشرة السونة على محصول القمح في سورية
تهدف الدراسة إلى اظهار الآثار والمعوقات الاقتصادية و الاجتماعية والبيئية لحشرة السونة على إنتاج القمح في سورية والعمل على تقليلها من خلال تطوير وتطبيق خيارات الإدارة المناسبة للمكافحة المتكاملة لحشرة السونة بتكاليف منخفضة ...
