Broomrape control in faba bean (Vicia faba L.) with glyphosate and imazaquin
Field studies were carried out to evaluate the efficacy of imazaquin and glyphosate in controlling broomrape (Orobanche crenata Forsk. and O. aegyptiaca Pers.) in faba bean (Vicia faba L.) in Northern Syria. Several rates ...
Screening techniques and sources of resistance to abiotic stresses in cool-season food legumes
The adaptability and productivity of cool-season food legumes (chickpea, faba bean, lentil, pea) are limited by major abiotic stresses including drought, heat, frost, chilling, waterlogging, salinity and mineral toxicities. ...
Influence of pretreatment on cooking quality parameters of dry food legumes
The effects of some pretreatment procedures on end-use quality of food legumes commonly consumed in the Middle East were examined. Soaking reduced both the cooking time and its variation for all pulses tested. Soaking with ...
Effect of plant density on grain yield, root–length density and Orobanche crenata infestation in two faba bean genotypes
The effect of host plant cultivar and sowing density on Orobanche crenata Forsk. L. infestation in Vicia faba was studied in a field experiment in north-west Syria. Two faba bean genotypes, ILB 1814 (Syrian Local Large) ...
Screening techniques and sources of resistance against parasitic weeds in grain legumes
A number of parasitic plants have become weeds, posing severe constraints to major crops including grain legumes. Breeding for resistance is acknowledged as the major component of an integrated control strategy. However, ...
