Plant populations for triticale in a mediterranean environment
Plant population experiments with triticale were conducted for three seasons using a range of agronomic treatments at Aleppo, Syria. The optimum population (the population resulting in maximum grain yield) was higher under ...
Production of green feed and grain from grazed barley in Northern Syria
The effects on barley production of variety, seed rate, nitrogen fertilizer rate and timing of grazing were studied in experiments grazed by sheep. The production of green material at the tillering stage and subsequent ...
Towards integrated natural resources management (INRM) in dry areas subject to land degradation: the example of the Khanasser Valley in Syria
The problem: land degradation and sustainability in dry areas. One of the greatest challenges currently facing
humankind is the alleviation of poverty while maintaining life support systems on which we depend. Billions of ...
Simulation of a rainfall record for the site of a new agricultural development: an example from Northern Syria
Daily rainfall records for two sites in Northern Syria are compared by fitting probability and frequency models to the observations. A model is interpolated for the main experimental site of the International Centre for ...
Differentiation Among Bean Leafroll Virus Susceptible and Resistant Lentil and Faba Bean Genotypes on the Basis of Virus Movement and Multiplication
Systemic movement of Bean leafroll virus (BLRV) in susceptible and resistant lentil and faba bean genotypes was studied using plants grown in a plastic house. All the plants studied were inoculated with BLRV by viruliferous ...
Wind erosion in a marginal Mediterranean dryland area: a case study from the Khanasser Valley, Syria
Evidence of wind erosion is widespread in the drylands of the Mediterranean region. The purpose of this study was to quantify the extent of windblown dust and to assess the factors that affect the susceptibility to wind ...
Screening Hessian fly Bread wheat with damage
Screening Hessian fly Bread wheat with damage.
A comparison of rainfall regimes at six sites in northern Syria
Rainfall regimes at six sites in northern Syria are compared by fitting a model of daily rainfall for each site. The components of the model, the probability of rain and the mean amount of rain per rainday, vary systematically ...
Impact of Modern Agricultural Technologies on Durum Wheat Production in Syria
Wheat is the most important food commodity in Syria, since it is a substantial
source of energy and protein in the local diet. During the period 1991-1995, the
annual average area planted with wheat was about 1.5 million ...
Differences in response of winter cereal varieties to applied nitrogen in the field I. Some factors affecting the variability of responses between sites and seasons
The grain yield response of a range of winter cereal varieties to applied nitrogen was studied in five experiments under a range of field conditions in northern Syria. Significant yield differences (P > 95%) were found ...
