Chickpea is a commonly grown crop, but it is vulnerable to biotic and abiotic stresses. Leaf miner (Liriomyza cicerina) is a pest that can cause severe yield losses of up to 40% if not properly controlled. This study was conducted at ICARDA (Aleppo...
Syria is famous for cultivation of many different vegetable crops in most governorates during both winter and summer growing seasons, due to its Mediterranean moderate climate conditions, characterized by a mild winter and a hot dry summer...
The trade-off between yield and environmental effects caused by nitrogen fertilizer application is an important issue in wheat production. A reduction in fertile florets is one of the main reasons for decreased yield under low nitrogen application...
Germplasm exchange from international genebanks and breeding programs is vital for successful crop improvement programs. More than 10,000 different accessions of wheat, barley, lentil, faba bean, chickpea, grasspea, and pasture and forage crops are...
This study examined various shrub species integrated into field crops (wheat, vetch, barley), including leguminous varieties (Medicago arborea, Colutea istria, Coronilla glauca), Atriplex species (A. canescens, A. nummularia, A. undulata), and...
The global production of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) is hindered by a constant rise in the frequency of severe heat stress events. To identify heat-tolerant germplasm, three different germplasm panels (“discovery,” “investigation,” and...
