Organic Cereal/Forage Legume Rotation in a Mediterranean Calcareous Soil: Implications for Soil Parameters
In this study, we examined the effect of five years of organic farming on soil parameters of a dryland Mediterranean agroecosystem. The study involved a four-course rotation: barley/common vetch/oats/bitter vetch, with ...
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 ...
Significance Of Phosphorus For Agriculture And The Environment In The West Asia And North Africa Region
Fertilizers have been largely responsible for the massive increases in world food production in the past half century that permitted accelerated global population growth to current unprecedented levels. Fertilizer use not ...
Assesment Of Corn (Zea Mays L.) Genotypes In Relation To Nitrogen Fertilization Under Irrigated Cropping Conditions In Turkey
Efficient nitrogen (N) fertilizer management in crop production is based on supplying adequate amounts of the nutrient for optimum economic yield, while minimizing losses to the environment. Exploiting genotypic differences ...
Does Growing Safflower Before Barley Reduce Barley Yields Under Mediterranean Conditions?
Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), which has deep roots, can be grown as an economical oil crop in semiarid, rain-fed areas of West Asia and North Africa, where barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) monoculture is a common practice. ...
Soil fertility and crop nutrition research at an international center in the Mediterranean region: achievements and future perspective
The Mediterranean climate allows for rainfed cropping in the relatively moist cool period from autumn to late spring/early summer. Drought has a constant influence. Soil fertility was partly maintained by fallowing, ...
Spatial Variation In Soil Organic Matter, Available Phosphorus, And Potassium Under Semi-Arid Conditions: Research Station Management Implications
Natural ecosystems are characterized by variability in space and, to a lesser extent, in time. Soil types and properties vary on landscape and field scales. Such variability is either inherent or human-induced and influences ...
