Udder measurements and milk production in two Awassi sheep genotypes and their crosses
To improve the effectiveness of community-based breeding programs for increased milk production, the values of different udder measurements for predicting milk production traits during the milking period were assessed over ...
Virulence of Pyrenophora tritici-repentis in the countries of the Silk Road
Tan spot, caused by the fungal pathogen Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, is an important foliar disease of wheat. Eight races of the fungus are presently known based on their virulence on a wheat differential set. In 2001, ...
Differentiation of rangeland vegetation and assessment of its status: field investigations and MODIS and SPOT VEGETATION data analyses
In the Syrian Steppe we carried out a field experiment using repeated hyperspectral measurements throughout the 2001 growing season to investigate the separability of vegetation types based on their temporal‐spectral ...
Towards a Feminization of Agricultural Labour in Northwest Syria
Smallholdings in the rural areas of northwest Syria are a result of land fragmentation that is due to inheritance. Because of rapid population growth combined with land fragmentation, these smallholdings are increasing and ...
Integrating host resistance with planting date and fungicide seed treatment to manage Fusarium wilt and so increase lentil yields
Field experiments were conducted in Northern Syria during the 1996/97 and 1997/98 cropping seasons to determine the effect of different control options on wilt disease parameters and lentil yields. The control options were ...

Sources of technical efficiency of sheep production systems in dry areas in Syria
A random sample of sheep producers in the dry areas of Syria were surveyed in 2002. Based on sheep movement, four production systems were identified; migratory, transhumance, semi-sedentary and sedentary. The survey data ...
Awassi lamb growth responses and carcass traits, and economic benefits associated with reduced-cost diets made from locally available feed resources
Awassi lamb-fattening systems in Middle Eastern countries are popular because they can rapidly generate income. Nevertheless, feed costs constraining these systems and seasonal fluctuations in feed prices expose farmers ...
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 ...
