Monitoring Groundwater Nitrate Concentrations under Irrigation in the Cukurova Region of Southern Turkey
Agricultural output globally is largely dependent on fertilizer use, particularly nitrogen (N), especially in irrigated cropping. While a substantial amount of the applied N is taken up by the crop to stimulate growth and ...
Extractable Potassium and its Relation to Clays of Mesaoria Plain Soils, Cyprus
Potassium (K) is one of the major essential elements for plants nutrition. The objective of this study was to determine the origin of extractable K in soils of the Mesaoria plain. The study was conducted in 6 widely ...
Implications of Zinc Fertilization for Ameliorating Toxicity (Neurotoxin) in Grasspea (Lathyrus sativus)
Grasspea (Lathyrus sativus) is a protein-rich forage legume that contains a neurotoxin (beta-ODAP) that causes severe malformation of the body's extremities when eaten in large quantities. Various low-toxin lines of grasspea ...
Strategies for Phosphorus Nutrition of Dryland Wheat in Pakistan
Phosphorus (P) is an endemic soil constraint to crop production in rainfed semi-arid regions like the 1.82-Mha Pothohar Plateau in Pakistan, where we monitored the P status of rainfed wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and ...
Response of rainfed safflower to nitrogen fertilization under Mediterranean conditions
The deep root system of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L) may be able to take up moisture and nutrients, especially nitrogen (N) that has been leached below the rooting zone of most other crops. The objective of the present ...
Forage and Food Legumes in a Multi‐Year, Wheat‐Based Rotation Under Drought‐Stressed Conditions in Northern Syria’s Medium Rainfall Zone
Long-term crop rotation trials were designed to assess sustainability of alternatives to traditional fallow and monocropping. The trial described here (6 years) involved wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in rotation with lentil ...
Crop sequences, nitrogen fertilizer and grazing intensity in relation to wheat yields in rainfed systems
The Mediterranean region is experiencing unrelenting land-use pressure, largely driven by population growth. Long-term cropping system trials can guide crop and soil management options that are biophysically and economically ...
Responses of wheat genotypes to phosphorus fertilization under rainfed conditions in the Mediterranean region of Turkey
Phosphorus (P) deficiency is a common crop growth-limiting factor in Mediterranean climatic and soil conditions because of low availability of native and added P, with consequent low use efficiency. Adaptation to such ...
Nitrogen Fertilizer Response of Some Barley Varieties in Semi-Arid Conditions in Morocco
The West Asia-North Africa region, which is characterized by a typical Mediterranean climate, is the center of origin of cereals, notably wheat (Triticum spp.) and barley (Hordeum spp). However, cereal production, which ...
