Simulation of a rainfall record for the site of a new agricultural development: an example from Northern Syria
Daily rainfall records for two sites in Northern Syria are compared by fitting probability and frequency models to the observations. A model is interpolated for the main experimental site of the International Centre for ...
Crop evapotranspiration — a technique for calculation of its components by field measurements
A simple technique is described whereby standard field measurements of crop evapotranspiration (ET), evaporation from an uncropped soil (ES), green area index (G), the crop extinction coefficient (K) and above ground dry ...
Effects of fertilizer, variety and location on barley production under rainfed conditions in Northern Syria 1. Root and shoot growth
Two varieties of barley, Arabic Abiad (a two-row local landrace) and Beecher (a six-row Californian variety) were grown both with and without fertilizer at two sites with differing rainfall in Aleppo province, Northern ...
A comparison of rainfall regimes at six sites in northern Syria
Rainfall regimes at six sites in northern Syria are compared by fitting a model of daily rainfall for each site. The components of the model, the probability of rain and the mean amount of rain per rainday, vary systematically ...
Effects of fertilizer, variety and location on barley production under rainfed conditions in Northern Syria 2. Soil water dynamics and crop water use
The effects of fertilizer and location on the water use of two contrasting varieties of barley were studied in Northern Syria using a neutron probe. The observed patterns of soil moisture dynamics and crop water use were ...
