Changes in the size and composition of the seed bank of medic pastures grown in rotation with wheat in north Syria
A mixture of 84 accessions of 12 medic (Medicago) species were sown in two successive years into a two-course pasture/wheat rotation in north Syria. Changes in the size and botanical composition of the seed bank were ...
Water and land productivities of wheat and food legumes with deficit supplemental irrigation in a Mediterranean environment
Selecting appropriate crops and applying deficit irrigation can help increase water productivity in waterlimited
regions such as the Mediterranean. The objective of this study was to develop water production
functions of ...
Sources of resistance to Hessian Fly ( Diptera:Cecidomyiidae ) in Syria identified among Aegilops species and Synthetic derived bread wheat Lines
The Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor
(Say), is a major pest of wheat in North Africa,
southern Europe, North America, and northern
Kazakhstan. It is believed this pest (like wheat)
originated in West Asia. The Syrian ...
Evolution of Physiologic Races and Virulence of Puccinia striiformis on Wheat in Syria and Lebanon
Virulence–avirulence phenotypes of Puccinia striiformis isolates collected in Lebanon and
Syria were determined on seedlings of the wheat–yellow rust differential genotypes. We found
25 and 11 physiologic races over 6 years ...
Wheat and barley seed system in Syria: How diverse are wheat and barley varieties and landraces from farmer’s fields?
The present study described the diversity of wheat and barley varieties and
landraces available in farmer’s fields in Syria using different indicators. Analysis
of spatial and temporal diversity and coefficient of parentage ...
Impact of lysine-fortified wheat flour on morbidity and immunologic variables among members of rural families in northwest Syria
Background. Previous studies have shown an effect of lysine fortification on nutrition and immunity of poor men, women, and children consuming a predominantly wheat-based diet. Objective. To examine the lysine value of ...
Plant density and wheat stem sawfly (Hymenoptera: Cephidae) resistance in Syrian wheats
Bread and durum wheat varieties varying in wheat stem sawfly resistance were sown at different densities in northern Syria for two seasons to examine the effect of density on plant characteristics related to infestations ...
Evaluation of wheat quality for the baking of Syrian-type two-layered flat breads
A procedure is presented for the evaluation of wheat quality by the baking of Syrian-type, two-layered flat breads. A detailed system of scoring the breads is discussed. The scoring system is based on dough-handling ...
Farmer'S Seed Sources And Seed Quality: 2. Seed Health
The study assessed the health quality of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) seed samples collected from formal and informal sector in Ethiopia and Syria. In Ethiopia, several seed-borne fungi were ...
Country-Level Bio-Economic Modeling of Agricultural Technologies to Enhance Wheat-Based Systems Productivity in the Dry Areas
Conservation Agriculture (CA) have a large potential for enhancing cereal yields in the semi-arid areas through
better management of soil moisture. The objective of the current paper is to quantify, at national level, the ...
