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 ...
QTLs for barley yield adaptation to Mediterranean environments in the ‘Nure’ 3 ‘Tremois’ biparental population
Multi-environment trials represent a highly
valuable tool for the identification of the genetic bases of
crop yield potential and stress adaptation. A Diversity
Array Technology"-based barley map has been
developed in the ...
Agricultural Productivity in the WANA Region
The interest of governments, international organizations, NGOs and the general public has recently been aroused by studies considering the use of existing agricultural technology, the use of innovations in such technology ...
Modelling the Effects of Soil Conditions on Olive Productivity in Mediterranean Hilly Areas
The majority of olive production in Mediterranean environments is characterized by low external inputs and is practiced in hilly
areaswith shallowsoils.This study aimed to study the nutritional status for olive trees ...
Effect of zero tillage system, seeding rate and row spacing on growth, yield and its components of bread wheat in moderate rainfall area in ninevah province.
A RCBD factorial experiment with 3 factors in Split Split Plot design was conducted in 2011-2012 agricultural season at Telkief location in rainfed field (183.5 mm–very drought season) to evaluate the effect of tillage ...
Performance Indicators for Wastewater Reuse Systems in Gaza Governorates
The purpose of the study was to apply performance indicators on wastewater reuse in the Palestinian Territories
(Gaza) to assess on the impact of waste water and grey water projects on the ambient environment, labor costs
and ...
Groundwater resources in the Jabal Al Hass region, northwest Syria: an assessment of past use and future potential
In many cases, the development of groundwater resources to boost agricultural production in dry areas has led to a continuous decline in groundwater levels; this has called into question the sustainability of such exploitation. ...
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 ...
Implications of adoption of Conservation Tillage (CT) on Productive Efficiency: A Syrian case
This study assessed the implications of adoption of CT technology on productive efficiency of 820 farmers in Syria. Survey data was collected for a sample of 500 randomly selected farmers and 320 elite farmers who were ...
Mapping soil salinity changes using remote sensing in Central Iraq
Salinization is a common problem for agriculture in dryland environments and it has greatly affected land productivity
and even caused cropland abandonment in Central and Southern Iraq. Hence it is of pressing importance ...
