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 ...
First Report Of Potato Virus Y In Potato In Tajikistan
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is widely grown as a staple food and cash crop in Tajikistan and is an important food security crop in the country. In June 2011, we conducted a survey of potatoes in farmers' fields in the ...
Phenotyping Of Traits Imparting Drought Tolerance In Lentil
Lentil is one of most important pulse crops in South Asia, and invariably encounters terminal moisture stress, leading to forced maturity and lower yield. Along and prolific root system is known to enhance capacity of the ...
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 ...
The role of limited irrigation and advanced management on improving water productivity of rainfed wheat at semi-cold region of upper Karkheh River Basin, Iran
In order to evaluate the role of a limited irrigation (LI) and agronomic management on
improving rain water productivity, a field study was conducted during 2005-08 winter cropping
seasons of wheat at multiple farms across ...
QTL for yield and associated traits in the Seri/Babax population grown across several environments in Mexico, in the West Asia, North Africa, and South Asia regions
Heat and drought adaptive quantitative trait loci (QTL) in a spring bread wheat population resulting from the Seri/Babax cross designed to minimize confounding agronomic traits have been identified previously in trials ...
Genetic diversity of on-farm selected olive trees in Moroccan traditional olive orchards
Selecting desired agronomic traits may lead to a loss of genetic diversity in crop species. A molecular investigation was conducted to determine how well a set of olive (Olea europaea L.) accessions sampled in Moroccan ...
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 ...
Improved winter wheat genotypes for Central and West Asia
High grain yield and resistance to stripe (yellow) rust are the most important traits for successful adoption of winter wheat varieties in Central and West Asia. This study was conducted to determine the stripe rust response ...
