Rehabilitation of degraded grasslands in north Syria: use of farmer participatory research to encourage the sowing of annual pasture legumes
A series of experiments on communally-owned grasslands in the barley-livestock zone of north Syria were conducted to test the hypothesis that introduction of Mediterranean annual legumes will increase productivity. The ...
Survey for chickpea and lentil virus diseases in Ethiopia
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) are among the major cool-season food legumes grown in Ethiopia. Fungal and viral diseases are important factors limiting production of these two crops in the ...
Does function follow form? Principal QTLs for Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance are coincident with QTLs for inflorescence traits and plant height in a doubled-haploid population of barley
Fusarium head blight (FHB), an important disease of barley in many areas of the world, causes losses in grain yield and quality. Deoxynivalenol (DON) mycotoxin residues, produced by the primary pathogen Fusarium graminearum, ...
Multimarket analysis of agricultural policy in Iraq
Government intervention in Iraq agriculture takes the form of supporting output prices and subsidizing input prices for producers. At the same time, consumer prices are far below the domestic prices of producers and world ...

Competition between Medicago truncatula and wheat for N-15 labeled soil nitrogen and influence of phosphorus
To determine competition for nitrogen uptake, a greenhouse experiment was conducted using annual Medicago truncatula cf. Jemalong (medic) and Triticum turgidum spp. durum cv. Karim (wheat) grown alone or in mixture, over ...
Nitrogen and water effects on wheat yield in a Mediterranean-type climate: I. Growth, water-use and nitrogen accumulation
Available soil water is the principal factor that limits the yield potential of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and its response to nitrogen (N) under Mediterranean climatic conditions. We examined wheat yield, N fertilizer ...
