Amplified fragment length polymorphism among Rhynchosporium secalis isolates collected from a single barley field in Syria
AFLP markers were used to measure the amount and distribution of genetic variation among Rhynchosporium secalis isolates on a microgeographical scale in Syria. Forty isolates hierarchically sampled from a single barley ...
Conservation agriculture: opportunities for intensified farming and environmental conservation in dry areas
This report presents examples, approaches and evidence on conservation agriculture
and its potential for use in low-income countries. It is designed to help policy makers and
development partners appreciate the issues and ...
Incorporating risk in the economic analysis of agronomic trials: fertilizer use on barley in Syria
In the drier areas of Syria yields of barley, the principal crop, are low. Due to the variability in rainfall, fertilizer use is perceived as risky. Barley-fertilizer trials have been conducted on farmer's fields over a ...
Plant populations for triticale in a mediterranean environment
Plant population experiments with triticale were conducted for three seasons using a range of agronomic treatments at Aleppo, Syria. The optimum population (the population resulting in maximum grain yield) was higher under ...
Effect of Tillage System on the Spontaneous Regeneration of Two Annual Medics (Medicago Spp.) After Wheat in North Syria
Four tillage treatments were applied to soil on which wheat was to be sown in 1988/89 after pastures of two annual medics, Medicago rigidula and M. polymorpha, had been established in 1987/88. Germination of the medics was ...
Production of green feed and grain from grazed barley in Northern Syria
The effects on barley production of variety, seed rate, nitrogen fertilizer rate and timing of grazing were studied in experiments grazed by sheep. The production of green material at the tillering stage and subsequent ...
برنامج التعاون العلمي المشترك - التقرير السنوي لموسم 1987-1988
تنبع أهمية التعاون بين المركز الدولي للبحوث الزراعية في المناطق الجافة (إيكاردا) ومديرية البحوث الزرعية في وزارة الزراعة والإصلاح الزراعي من طبيعة الأبحاث التطبيقية المتصلة والهادفة إلى استنباط أصناف جديدة ذات إنتاجية عالية ...
Post-harvest Processing of Winter Crops in NW Syria
This paper summarizes some information on the post-harvest processing of wheat, barley, lentil, vetch, and chickpea in NW Syria. The information was collected during 1978 from 43 interviews in 21 villages in Aleppo Province. ...
Advancing the climate data driven crop-modeling studies in the dry areas of Northern Syria and Lebanon: An important first step for assessing impact of future climate
Inter-annual and seasonal variability in climatic parameters, most importantly rainfall, have potential to cause climate-induced risk in long-term crop production. Short-term field studies do not capture the full nature ...
Changes in the size and composition of the seed bank of medic pastures grown in rotation with wheat in north Syria
A mixture of 84 accessions of 12 medic (Medicago) species were sown in two successive years into a two-course pasture/wheat rotation in north Syria. Changes in the size and botanical composition of the seed bank were ...
