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 ...
Harvest index is a critical factor influencing the grain yield of diverse wheat species under rain-fed conditions in the Mediterranean zone of southeastern Turkey and northern Syria
Environmental and plant factors critical to the grain yields of bread (Triticum aestivum L.), durum (T. durum L.) and emmer (T. dicoccum L.) wheat cultivars were investigated at two Mediterranean rain-fed eld sites: Adana ...
Water and land productivities of wheat and food legumes with deficit supplemental irrigation in a Mediterranean environment
Selecting appropriate crops and applying deficit irrigation can help increase water productivity in waterlimited
regions such as the Mediterranean. The objective of this study was to develop water production
functions of ...
Tillage system and genotype effects on early vigor and water use in bread wheat in the Mediterranean region
The southern part of the Mediterranean basin is among the regions that are characterized by recurrent
droughts and it is threatened by the effects of climate change. To deal with these problems in wheat,
improved techniques ...
Virulence of Pyrenophora tritici-repentis in the countries of the Silk Road
Tan spot, caused by the fungal pathogen Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, is an important foliar disease of wheat. Eight races of the fungus are presently known based on their virulence on a wheat differential set. In 2001, ...
Tiller Development and Contribution to Yield under Different Moisture Regimes in two Triticum Species
The number of productive tillers is an important yield component in wheat and is affected by water stress and genetic factors. A greenhouse experiment was conducted during spring 1992 at ICARDA, Tel Hadya, Syria, with eight ...
Evolution of Physiologic Races and Virulence of Puccinia striiformis on Wheat in Syria and Lebanon
Virulence–avirulence phenotypes of Puccinia striiformis isolates collected in Lebanon and
Syria were determined on seedlings of the wheat–yellow rust differential genotypes. We found
25 and 11 physiologic races over 6 years ...
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 ...
Effect of cutting height on the yield and straw quality of lentil and on a succeeding wheat crop
Lentil (Lens culinaris Med.) seeds are an important source of protein in the human diet, while the straw is widely used as animal feed in the Mediterranean region and West Asia, but production is declining due to the high ...
Crop evapotranspiration — a technique for calculation of its components by field measurements
A simple technique is described whereby standard field measurements of crop evapotranspiration (ET), evaporation from an uncropped soil (ES), green area index (G), the crop extinction coefficient (K) and above ground dry ...
