Phosphorous fertilizer efficiency and mycorrhizal infection in corn genotypes
In a world of limited resources and inexorable pressure to produce food for burgeoning populations, innovative approaches are needed to exploit these resources in a sustainable manner. Phosphorous (P) fertilizers are used ...
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 ...
Influence of mediterranean cereal-based rotations on soil micromorphological characteristics
The extent to which land management practices are sustainable depends on the maintenance of soil quality from the physical, chemical and biological perspectives. However, there is little information on soil quality in ...
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, ...
Role of international research centers' soil laboratories in agricultural development
The worldwide network of 16 research centers of the Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) focuses on research, training, education, and capacity-building with the goal of poverty alleviation ...
