Barley and Vetch yields from dryland rotations with varying tillage and residue management under Mediterranean conditions
With increasing land-use pressure in semi-arid, dryland Middle Eastern agriculture, fallow-based cereal production has given way to cropping intensification, including legume-based rotations along with conservation tillage ...
Nitrogen mineralization potentials of selected mediterranean soils
To gain a better understanding of N availability in Mediterranean soils, 18 surface (0–20cm) soil samples were selected from soil groups of Syria for study of their N mineralization potentials. The chosen soils represented ...
Effect of Tillage System on the Spontaneous Regeneration of Two Annual Medics (Medicago Spp.) After Wheat in North Syria
Four tillage treatments were applied to soil on which wheat was to be sown in 1988/89 after pastures of two annual medics, Medicago rigidula and M. polymorpha, had been established in 1987/88. Germination of the medics was ...
The role of informal farmer-to-farmer distribution in diffusion of new barley varieties in Syria
This study examines the role, structure and effectiveness of informal seed systems in the diffusion of new barley varieties. It uses data collected by tracing farmers who received new barley varieties and other farmers who ...
Effects of Green-stage Grazing on Rainfed Barley in Northern Syria. II. Yield and Economic Returns
The effect of a single grazing at the tillering stage on barley yield and economic returns was studied with two widely grown local landraces over five seasons at Tel Hadya and two seasons at Breda in northern Syria. In ...

Quantitative trait loci associated with adaptation to Mediterranean dryland conditions in barley
The objective of the present study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) influencing agronomic performance across rain fed Mediterranean environments in a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from the ...
Implications of cereal-based crop rotations, nitrogen fertilization, and stubble grazing on soil organic matter in a Mediterranean-type environment
Soil organic matter (SOM) is essential to all soil processes that have an impact on crop production and the environment. Soils of the semi-arid Mediterranean region are low in SOM due to environmental conditions (temperature, ...
Effects of planting date, varieties and insecticides on chickpealeaf miner (Liriomyza cicerina R.) infestation and the parasitoid Opius monilicornis F.
The effects of planting date, varieties and insecticides on chickpea leaf miner (Liriomyza cicerina R.) infestation and the parasitoid
Opius monilicornis F. were studied during the 1998 and 1999 cropping seasons. The ...
Changes in allele frequencies in landraces, old and modern barley cultivars of marker loci close to QTL for grain yield under high and low input conditions
Changes in alleles frequencies of marker loci linked to yield quantitative trait loci (QTL) were studied in 188 barley entries (landraces, old and modern cultivars) grown in six trials representing low and high yielding ...
