Impact of Climate Changes on Water Resources Availability in the Orontes River Watershed: Case of Homs Governorate in Syria
Homs governorate watershed is considered as the agricultural production hub and a strategic water reservoir of Syria. However, land fertility and the increase of population, as well as climatic changes, urged the farmers ...
Mechanism of water-logging tolerance in pigeonpea
A study was undertaken to identify the morphophysiological
traits associated with water-logging tolerance in pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan L. (Millsp.)].The formation of
aerenchyma cells, lenticels, and adventitious roots in ...
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 ...
Yield response to phosphorus fertilizer in a wheat-lentil rotation in a Mediterranean environment
The effect of a single application of phosphorus (P) fertilizer on yields of wheat and a following lentil crop was studied in two-course rotational trials under rainfed conditions in a Mediterranean-type environment. Wheat ...
Climate change enforces to look beyond the plant – the example of pollinators
Within global crop production 1961–2012, the share of pollinator independent crops increased twofold, but fourfold of pollinator dependent crops. Balanced diets within the boundaries of our planet require even more pollinator ...
High accuracy of genome-enabled prediction of belowground and physiological traits in barley seedlings
In plants, the study of belowground traits is gaining momentum due to their importance on yield formation and the uptake of water and nutrients. In several cereal crops, seminal root number and seminal root angle are proxy ...
Quantifying regional effects of plastic mulch on soil nitrogen pools, cycles, and fluxes in rain‐fed agroecosystems of the Loess Plateau
Farmland surface soil mulching with plastic film is extensively used to enhance agricultural productivity in the Loess Plateau (LP). However, the effect of mulching on the key processes that dominate soil nitrogen dynamics ...
Geostatistical monitoring of soil salinity in Uzbekistan by repeated EMI surveys
Soil salinization in the lower reaches of Amudarya is a constant threat. High seepage losses in irrigation water delivery
network and deteriorated drainage network result in rising groundwater tables. The shallowgroundwater
table ...
Chickpea evolution has selected for contrasting phenological mechanisms among different habitats
Arguably the most important adaptive criterion in annual crops is appropriate phenology that minimizes exposure to climatic stresses and maximizes productivity in target environments. To date this has been achieved empirically ...
Toward Better Preparedness of Mediterranean Rainfed Agricultural Systems to Future Climate-Change-Induced Water Stress: Study Case of Bouregreg Watershed (Morocco) †
Improving the preparedness of agricultural systems to future climate-change-induced phenomena, such as drought-induced water stress, and the predictive analysis of their vulnerability is crucial. In this study, a hybrid ...
