Drip Fertigation Technology for Enhancing Date Palm Productivity and Fruit Quality
A field experiment was conducted during two successive growing seasons, 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 to evaluate the effect of different fertilizer application methods on date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) yield and fruit quality ...
Qualitative characteristics of traditional Jordanian Jameed and a way to improve quality and reduce health risks
Jameed is an important dairy product in Jordan and other countries in the Middle East that is highly demanded. Jameed is a hard dry skimmed yogurt, mainly processed using sheep and goat milk in a small scale labor-intensive ...
Socio-Economic Characterization: Muharib and Al Majidyya Jordan_Final Report
Jordan is one of the three most water-scarce countries in the world. The severe shortage of water has been exacerbated by drought, depletion of groundwater reserves, population growth, inflow of migrant workers and climate ...
First report of Alfalfa leaf curl virus affecting alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Tunisia
The genus Capulavirus (family Geminiviridae) includes plant-infecting single-stranded DNA viruses with circular genomes that have been characterized in most parts of the world (Zerbini et al. 2017). Among the capulaviruses, ...
Assessing the impact of livestock grazing on vegetation dynamics of the Jordanian Badia
The major drivers leading to rangeland degradation include overgrazing, climate change and encroachment of rain fed agriculture. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the response of vegetation characteristics to ...
Genotyping-by-sequencing empowered genetic diversity analysis of Jordanian oat wild relative Avena sterilis
Recent advances in next generation sequencing technologies make genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) more feasible for molecular characterization of plant germplasm with complex and unsequenced genomes. Here we applied the GBS ...
