Literature Update on Wheat, Barley, and Triticale Vol. 2 No. 2
This is a weekly CD_ROM service giving abstracts of articles from the current issues of the world's most influential scientific journals. ISI has authorised us to extract the abstracts that deal with wheat barley and ...
The association of biomass allocation with growth and water use efficiency of two Triticum aestivum cultivars
We investigated traits that might improve performance of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in a dry environment, and examined if the response to drought is different for cultivars with a contrasting biomass allocation pattern, ...
Nitrogen fixation and nutrient uptake by two chickpea genotypes cultivated in sandy soils of Egypt
A field experiment was conducted to compare local chickpea (Giza 2) and its recently developed cultivar L3. The two genotypes were examined for biological dinitrogen fixation and P uptake as enhanced by inoculation ...
Practical Rhizobium -Legume Technology Manual
This manual has two major objectives. The first five sections focus on the handling and identification of rhizobia, with production of high-quality inoculants as the overall aim. the last four sections deal with field ...
Genetic diversity and taxonomic relationships within the genus Lens as revealed by allozyme polymorphism
A survey of allozyme polymorphism at 11 loci was carried out on 439 accessions from the genus Lens. This comprised 153 Lens culinaris subsp. orientalis, 35 L. odemensis, 117 L. ervoides, 32 L. nigricans, 2 of a differentiated ...
Inter-site transferability of crop varieties: another approach for analyzing multi-locational variety trials
Improved crop varieties developed at experimental stations are intended for release for production in farmers' fields which are not necessarily the test sites. Therefore, it is important to measure the inter-site transferability ...
Geographic variation in tetraploid wheat (Triticum turgidum spp. turgidum convar. durum) landraces from two provinces in Ethiopia
There is considerable wealth of genetical and morphological variation in tetraploid wheat collected from Ethiopia by past expeditions. Several authors have speculated on the reasons for this concentration of diversity so ...
Germplasm Program Legumes Annual Report 1996
This report summarizes the key accomplishments and efforts of the Germplasm Program Legumes at the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) in 1996.
Sources of resistance to cyst nematode in cultivated and wild Cicer species
Among the nematodes infesting chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) plants in Syria, cyst nematode (Heterodera ciceri Vovlas, Greco et Di Vito) is the most important. It is uneconomical to grow chickpea in fields infested with ...
ICARDA Annual Report 1995
Achieving sustainable increases in agricultural productivity in the dry areas is a real challenge.
Rainfall in these areas is, by definition, low and variable. Conventional water resources are
limited, and the share available ...
