Effects of genotype and simulated rainfall on the morphological characteristics, chemical composition and rumen degradation of the straw fractions of barley plants
Experiments comparing the nutritive value of cereal straws from different genotypes are often complicated by the difference in plant height which is affected by genotype and the amount of rainfall. Two experiments were ...
Using evaluation to enhance institutional learning and change: recent experiences with agricultural research and development
National agricultural research organizations as well as centres affiliated with the Consultative
Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) are under strong pressure
to enhance their contributions to poverty ...
Characterization of genetic variation in and phylogenetic relationships among diploid Aegilops species by AFLP: Incongruity of chloroplast and nuclear data
Intra- and inter-specific genetic variation was investigated in seven diploid Aegilops species using the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique. Of the seven species, the cross-pollinating Aegilops speltoides ...
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 ...

Registration of ‘Barimash‐3’ Blackgram.
Effect of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza on vegetative growth and harvest index of chickpea grown in northern Syria
Determination of the contribution by vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (VAMF) to crop growth under field conditions requires the comparison of non-mycorrhizal or ‘low mycorrhizal’ to ‘high mycorrhizal’ plants. In the ...
Agro-morphological characterisation of common vetch and its close relatives
The Vicia sativa aggregate, which includes the common vetch, is a complex of six closely related tax a which combines cultivated, weedy and wild forms. In this study 454 accessions with an emphasis on Mediterranean and ...
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 ...
Nutritional and antinutritional characteristics of selected Vicia genotypes
Mature seeds of Vicia narbonensis (91 lines), Vicia sativa (23 lines), Vicia ervilia (16 lines) and Vicia palaestina (16 lines) were evaluated for crude protein (CP), protein precipitable tannin (PPT), vanillin-HCl catechin ...
