Effects of fertilizer on root growth and water use of barley in northern Syria
Barley (cv. Beecher) was grown at two sites (Jindiress and Breda) in northern Syria, chosen for their contrasting edaphic and climatic conditions. At both sites, three fertilizer treatments were applied zero (Z), 60 kg ...
Proportion of total nitrogen and fixed nitrogen in shoots of lentil and chickpea grown in a Mediterranean-type environment
Shoot dry matter yield, shoot nitrogen yield and amount of nitrogen derived from fixation are collated for chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cv. ILC482 and lentil (Lens culinaris Medic.) cv. ILL8 grown at the ICARDA research ...
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 ...
Root and shoot growth and water use of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) grown in dryland conditions: effects of sowing date and genotype
Growth and water use of kabuli-type chickpea was measured during the 1982/83 and 1983/84 growing seasons in northern Syria under rainfed conditions. Winter-sown (November) and springsown (March) crops of cv. ILC 482 were ...
Effect of fertilizer rate and form on the recovery of 15N-labelled fertilizer applied to wheat in Syria
N-labelled fertilizer was applied at different rates (0, 30, 60, 90 kg N ha−1) and in different forms (urea or ammonium sulphate) to wheat grown in Syria in three seasons (1991/92, 1992/93 and 1994/95).
Recovery of ...
Towards a Feminization of Agricultural Labour in Northwest Syria
Smallholdings in the rural areas of northwest Syria are a result of land fragmentation that is due to inheritance. Because of rapid population growth combined with land fragmentation, these smallholdings are increasing and ...
Organic matter turnover in a calcareous clay soil from Syria under a two-course cereal rotation
Total organic C and microbial biomass C were measured in soils from a two-course rotation experiment at the International Center for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA), Syria. Six rotations were sampled: wheat-vetch, ...
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 ...
Characterization of responses to temperature and photoperiod for time to flowering in a world lentil collection
The times from sowing to first flowering (f) of 231 accessions of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.), comprising germ plasm from eight countries and breeding lines from ICARDA in Syria, were recorded in four glasshouse ...
Productivity and nitrogen use of three different wheat-based rotations in North West Syria
Productivity of 3 different 2-year crop rotations, namely continuous wheat, wheat-chickpea, and wheat-fallow, was measured over 4 consecutive seasons beginning in 1991-92 at the ICARDA station, Tel Hadya, Syria. Nitrogen ...
