Advancing the climate data driven crop-modeling studies in the dry areas of Northern Syria and Lebanon: An important first step for assessing impact of future climate
Inter-annual and seasonal variability in climatic parameters, most importantly rainfall, have potential to cause climate-induced risk in long-term crop production. Short-term field studies do not capture the full nature ...
دراسة اجتماعية - اقتصادية لإدارة المكافحة المتكاملة لحشرة السونة على محصول القمح في سورية
تهدف الدراسة إلى اظهار الآثار والمعوقات الاقتصادية و الاجتماعية والبيئية لحشرة السونة على إنتاج القمح في سورية والعمل على تقليلها من خلال تطوير وتطبيق خيارات الإدارة المناسبة للمكافحة المتكاملة لحشرة السونة بتكاليف منخفضة ...
Udder measurements and milk production in two Awassi sheep genotypes and their crosses
To improve the effectiveness of community-based breeding programs for increased milk production, the values of different udder measurements for predicting milk production traits during the milking period were assessed over ...
Changes in the size and composition of the seed bank of medic pastures grown in rotation with wheat in north Syria
A mixture of 84 accessions of 12 medic (Medicago) species were sown in two successive years into a two-course pasture/wheat rotation in north Syria. Changes in the size and botanical composition of the seed bank were ...
Effect of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza on vegetative growth and harvest index of chickpea grown in northern Syria
Determination of the contribution by vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (VAMF) to crop growth under field conditions requires the comparison of non-mycorrhizal or ‘low mycorrhizal’ to ‘high mycorrhizal’ plants. In the ...
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 ...
Monitoring Groundwater Nitrate Concentrations under Irrigation in the Cukurova Region of Southern Turkey
Agricultural output globally is largely dependent on fertilizer use, particularly nitrogen (N), especially in irrigated cropping. While a substantial amount of the applied N is taken up by the crop to stimulate growth and ...
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 ...
Awassi Sheep Milk Fatty Acid Profile during lactation under a traditional grazing system in semi-arid regions
The effects of lactation stage, farm and the stage × farm interaction on the main components, physicochemical characteristics and fatty acid profile of Awassi ewes’ milk were studied (n = 16) over all lactation stages ...
Measurement of above-ground plant biomass, forage availability and grazing impact by combining satellite image processing and fied survey in a dry area of north-eastern Syria
Field survey and satellite image processing methods were used to estimate the total available forage over an area of 95 034 ha in north‐eastern Syria, and to assess grazing impact on the area. The above‐ground plant biomass ...
