Rainfed wheat-based rotations under Mediterranean conditions: Crop sequences, nitrogen fertilization, and stubble grazing in relation to grain and straw quality
Crop rotations have evolved as a strategy to obtain harvestable yields in stressed environments due to improved water-use efficiency, nitrogen (N) fixation, and breaking diseases cycles. While fallowing or growing legume ...
Assessing the sustainability of wheat-based cropping systems using APSIM: model parameterisation and evaluation
Assessing the sustainability of crop and soil management practices in wheat-based rotations requires a well-tested model with the demonstrated ability to sensibly predict crop productivity and changes in the soil resource. ...
Assessment of winter wheat production under early sowing with supplemental irrigation in a cold highland environment using CropSyst simulation model
The most important question in supplemental irrigation management is when and how much water to apply. It is a laborious and expensive task to develop supplemental irrigation schedules solely by conventional field ...
Wheat farming in Syria: An approach to economic transformation and sustainability
Sustainability has recently become an ingrained concept in crop production systems worldwide, and is the cornerstone
of research programs of the global network of research centers operated by the Consultative Group of ...
Response to residual and currently applied phosphorus in dryland cereal/legume rotations in three Syrian Mediterranean agroecosystems
Given the complex nature of rainfed cropping systems in Mediterranean agriculture and the dynamic nature of phosphorus (P) in soils, agronomic assessment of P fertilization must be long term in order to consider residual ...
Water-use efficiency of wheat-based rotation systems in a Mediterranean environment
Crop production in Mediterranean- type environments is invariably limited by low and erratic rainfall (200-600 mm year(-1)), and thus soil moisture, and by high evapotranspiration resulting from high temperature. Consequently, ...
