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...
The study was carried out at two sites (Menzel Habib and national park of Sidi Toui) of southern Tunisia which provided an aridity gradient to evaluate the effect of long term protection on the regeneration of Stipa lagascae R. and Sch., a high range...
To assess the effects of forest management on soil erosion in Southeast Asia, clear distinctions must be made between surface erosion and landslide processes. Although surface erosion is a natural process, it is exacerbated by surface disturbance and...
A Syrian chickpea isolate of Chickpea chlorotic dwarf virus (CpCDV; genus Mastrevirus, family Geminiviridae) was purified and yielded 0.6–0.8 mg of purified virus per kg of infected chickpea tissue. The purified preparations were injected into a...
In the dry areas, water, not land, is the most limiting resource for improved agricultural production. Maximizing water productivity, and not yield per unit of land, is therefore a better strategy for dry farming systems. Under such conditions, more...
