Recovery and germination rates of seeds of Mediterranean medics and clovers offered to sheep at a single meal or continuously
Measurements were made of the recovery and germination rates of seed of eight species of annual medic (Medicago spp.) and three of clover (Trifolium spp.) after ingestion by sheep. Recovery of medic seed was measured as ...
Seed yield and hardseededness of two amphicarpic pasture legumes (Vicia sativa ssp. amphicarpa and Lathyrus ciliolatus) and two annual medics (Medicago rigidula and M. noeana)
Yields and hardseed breakdown of underground and aerial seeds in subterranean vetch (Vicia sativa ssp. amphicarpa) and lathyrus (Lathyrus ciliolatus) and aerial seeds of Medicago rigidula and M. noeana were compared at Tel ...
Response of Mediterranean grassland to phosphate and stocking rates: biomass production and botanical composition
Three rates of phosphate (0, 25, and 60 kg/ha P2O5) were applied to phosphorus-deficient native grassland at Tel Hadya, in northern Syria, and biomass productivity, botanical composition and number of legume seeds in the ...
Response of Mediterranean grassland to phosphate and stocking rates: livestock production
Three rates of phosphate (0, 25 and 60 kg/ha P2O5) were applied for 7 years to phosphate-deficient grassland at Tel Hadya, north Syria. Liveweight, milk yield, wool production and supplementary feeding of Awassi sheep were ...
Genotype × site interactions in seed production, hard seed breakdown and regeneration of annual medics (Medicago spp.) in west Asia
Seed production of annual medics was measured at four sites in Syria and Jordan between 1986/87 and 1988/89. Plots sown to medic in the first year were sown to wheat in the second year, and medic regeneration was measured ...
Adaptation of Medicago rigidula to a cereal–pasture rotation in north-west Syria
The ley-farming system (integrated cereal and livestock production in which cerealsrotate with self-regenerating pastures) is considered to be of great potential benefit to north Africa and west Asia. In the colder parts ...
Yield stability of selected forage vetches (Vicia spp.) under rainfed conditions in west Asia
With the current high prices for livestock, forage legumes are increasingly attractive to farmers in west Asia. There has been very little genetic improvement of the main species, of which three vetches, Vicia saliva (common ...
Seed production and seed survival under grazing of annual medics (Medicago spp.) in north Syria
Three experiments which measured seed production and seed survival of annual medics (Medicago spp.) were conducted at Tel Hadya in north Syria. In Expts 1 and 2, conducted in consecutive years, the effects of rate and date ...
