The Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say), is a major pest of wheat in North Africa, southern Europe, North America, and northern Kazakhstan. It is believed this pest (like wheat) originated in West Asia. The Syrian Hessian fly biotype has...
In-season wheat root growth and soil water extraction in the Mediterranean environment of northern Syria
Wheat is the most important cereal crop in the semi-arid eastern Mediterranean region that includes northern Syria. Knowledge of wheat root depth and the vertical distribution during the winter growing season is needed for sound scheduling of...
Modification of the FAO‐56 spreadsheet program for scheduling supplemental irrigation of winter crops in a Mediterranean climate
Population growth and urbanization are increasing demands on limited renewable water resources in the Mediterranean region. Irrigation is a major water user, and so there has been increased effort to improve its efficiency. Using supplemental...
Tempo-spatial covariance structure of lentil yield and water use efficiency from supplemental irrigation trials
n agricultural research conducted in dry areas, crop-yield water use efficiency (WUE) is a measure used to evaluate the impacts of various agronomic factors on crop productivity. Agronomic management factors include supplemental irrigation (SI)...
