Global crop improvement networks to bridge technology gaps
To ensure future food security, there is an urgent need for
improved co-ordination of agricultural research. While
advances in biotechnology hold considerable promise,
significant technology gaps exist that may reduce ...
Impact of grazing and tillage on water erosion in northeastern Syria
Impact of grazing and tillage on water erosion under natural rainfall conditions was investigated during the 1994/95 and 1995/96 rainy seasons in the Abd Al-Aziz mountain region, northeastern Syria. The grazing impact was ...
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 ...
Genetic differentiation in Pyrenophora teres f. teres populations from Syria and Tunisia as assessed by AFLP markers
To investigate the level of genetic differentiation and diversity among
Pyrenophora teres isolate populations originating from different agro-ecological
areas of Syria and Tunisia and to determine the potential of AFLP ...
Germination dynamics of Acacia species under different seed treatments
Establishment of Acacia is typically inhibited by hard seed coat. This study was conducted to evaluate effective seed stratification methods for fourteen Acacia species, using water (control), boiling water, sulphuric acid ...
SSR analysis of introgression of drought tolerance from the genome of Hordeum spontaneum into cultivated barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp vulgare)
Wild barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp. spontaneum) and landraces are important sources of resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses since they possess wide genetic diversity that may be missing in current elite varieties. In ...
Health Implications For Children In Wastewater-Irrigated Peri-Urban Aleppo, Syria
Despite widespread irrigation with diluted, untreated, or partially treated wastewater in developing countries, health implications of such irrigation on children living in wastewater-irrigated area have rarely been ...
Spatial and Temporal Variability of Groundwater Nitrate Concentrations in Irrigated Mediterranean Agriculture
As nitrogen (N) fertilizer-use efficiency rarely exceeds 50% in most agricultural systems, the potential leaching of N to the groundwater, particularly under irrigated conditions, has economic, health, and environmental ...
Effect of some insecticides on parasitoid, aphelinus mali hald (hymenoptera: aphelinidae) of the woolly apple aphid eriosoma Lanigerum Hausmann
The toxicity of six insecticides (Deltamethrin, Chlorpyrifos, Acetamiprid, Diflubenzuron,
Lufenuron and Fenoxycarb) was investigated on Aphelinus mali Hald. Infests the woolly apple
aphid Eriosoma lanigerum Hausmann using ...
Soil-landscape modeling and land suitability evaluation: the case of rainwater harvesting in a dry rangeland environment
The arid to semi-arid region is characterized by a scarcity of land and water resources, which threatens the livelihoods of the inhabitants. Rainwater harvesting is an important practice to improve water and land productivity ...
