Enhancing the performance of regional land cover mapping
Different pixel-based, object-based and subpixel-based methods such as time-series analysis, decision-tree, and different supervised approaches have been proposed to conduct land use/cover classification.However, despite ...
Genetic Variation for Tolerance to Herbicide Imazethapyr in Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)
Identification of lentil genotypes tolerant to post-emergence herbicides and incorporation of herbicide tolerance in to high yielding varieties can prove a boon for developing effective integrated weed management strategy ...
Improving breeding efficiency through application of appropriate experimental designs and analysis models: A case of lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus subsp. culinaris) yield trials
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus subsp. culinaris) is an important staple pulse and rich source of protein, especially to the economically resource-poor consumers of the developing world. Experimental and analytic technology ...
Ecological restoration across the Mediterranean Basin as viewed by practitioners
Restoration efforts in the Mediterranean Basin have been changing from a silvicultural to an ecological restoration
approach. Yet, to what extent the projects are guided by ecological restoration principles remains ...
Developing scenarios to assess sunflower and soybean yield under different sowing dates and water regimes in the Bekaa valley (Lebanon): Simulations with Aquacrop
In a semi-arid environment, the main challenge for crop production is water
limitation in space and in time. Considered as appropriate tools, models are used to
evaluate the effects of water deficit on crop productivity ...
First report of Alfalfa leaf curl virus affecting alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Tunisia
The genus Capulavirus (family Geminiviridae) includes plant-infecting single-stranded DNA viruses with circular genomes that have been characterized in most parts of the world (Zerbini et al. 2017). Among the capulaviruses, ...
Capturing the Heterogeneity of the Error Variances of a Group of Genotypes in Crop Cultivar Trials
Appropriate experimental designs provide an efficient estimate of cultivar performance by allowing better control of experimental error. The standard approach assumes homogeneity of experimental error variances across ...
Identifying High Yielding, Stable Chickpea Genotypes for Spring Sowing: Specific Adaptation to Locations and Sowing Seasons in the Mediterranean Region
Superior genotypes are needed to give farmers a choice of improved cultivars of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) suitable for traditional spring sowing. From 1997 to 2010, 68 experiments comprising 404 elite chickpea lines ...
Variation in soil chemical properties along toposequences in an arid region of the Levant
Detailed characterization of soils and their variation along different topography positions has not been investigated in depth for Mediterranean arid regions. There is a need to accurately understand the variation and the ...
Agronomic Performance and Quality Properties of Malting Barley Genotypes Assessed Rain Fed in Bekaa Province, Lebanon
The use of barley in Lebanon is still limited to feed despite the increased beer consumption and the amplified demand by local industries of imported malt. In the present work, the performance of 11 foreign malting genotypes ...
