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)...
Effect of supplemental irrigation on leaf stomatal conductance of field-grown wheat in northern Syria
Stomatal conductance (gs) of field-grown wheat during the transition period from rainy to dry seasons in northern Syria was examined in relation to the vapor pressure deficit of the air (VPDa), solar radiation (RS), and the soil available water...
Identification of viral diseases affecting barley and bread wheat crops in Yemen
A survey to identify virus diseases affecting barley and bread wheat crops at different locations in Yemen was conducted during 15 - 24 September 2004. The survey covered 13 barley and 23 bread wheat fields, which were randomly selected. The...
Resistance gene analogs associated with Fusarium head blight resistance in wheat
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is one of the most destructive diseases in wheat. Identification of resistance gene analogs (RGAs) may provide candidate genes for cloning of FHB resistance genes and molecular markers for marker-assisted improvement...
Wheat water productivity and yield in a cool highland environment: Effect of early sowing with supplemental irrigation
The Central Anatolian Plateau of Turkey is a typical cool highland rainfed wheat area with an annual rainfall of 300–500 mm. Due to suboptimal seasonal rainfall amounts and distribution, wheat yields in the region are low and fluctuate...
The validity of predawn leaf water potential as an irrigation-timing indicator for field-grown wheat in northern Syria
We evaluated the validity of predawn leaf water potential (ψPL) as an irrigation-timing indicator, using five field-grown wheat cultivars in three moisture regimes in northern Syria. The relationships between ψPL and amount of roots, soil water...
