Pathogenic and genetic diversity of Didymella rabiei affecting chickpea in Syria
Simple sequence repeats and mating type markers were used to estimate the genetic diversity of 133
Didymella rabiei isolates collected from nine provinces of Syria. Moreover, phenotyping was done on 56
isolates randomly ...
Nitrogen management in grasslands and forage-based production systems – Role of biological nitrification inhibition (BNI)
Nitrogen (N), the most critical and essential nutrient for plant growth, largely determines the productivity in both extensive
and
intensive grassland systems. Nitrification and denitrification processes in the soil are ...
Index-based insurance for climate risk management and rural development in Syria
