Soil Management (SM) is critical to human well-being that it is more important now because of meeting the high demands for food production and satisfying the needs of an increasing world population. Therefore, the purpose of this descriptivecorrelation study was to investigate the effective factors on wheat farmers’ adoption of Farming Methods of Soil Management (FMSM). The research instrument ...

A study was conducted to assess the durable resistance in a near isogenic line of spring wheat (Triticum aestivalis L.), possessing resistance gene Yr-18 to some isolates (race specific resistance) of stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici), namely Thatcher Yr-18 and durable resistance of an cultivar of spring wheat to all isolates of stripe rust (race non- specific resistance), namel...

In unsaline loam soil, a laboratory experiment was undertaken studying the effect of using diluted saline water from Karoon lake at Fayoum Governorate, on transformations and subsequent nitrification of two ammoniacal fertilizers, namely (NH4)2SO4 and urea, in the presence or absence of natural organic amendments, namely clover and wheat straw. Ammonification and nitrification of both fertilize...

The effect of different extraction rates (64%, 82% and 90%) of wheat flour on the rheological properties of the wheat flour dough was investigated. A complete study of the rheological behavior of the wheat flour dough was performed by using three different instruments namely alveograph, extensograph, and farinograph. The correlation coefficient among the various parameters of applied methods wa...

the 1rs chromosome segment derived from petkus rye carries genes for resistance to three wheat rust diseases, namely lr26 for resistance to leaf rust (caused by puccinia triticina), yr9 for resistance to stripe rust (p.striiformis f. sp. tritici) and sr31 for resistance to stem rust (p. graminis f. sp. tritici). since sec-1 is tightly linked with the three rust resis-tance genes electrophoresis...

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is potentially a new source of genes for wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) improvement. Wheat-barley chromosome recombinant lines provide a means for introgressing barley genes to wheat genome by chromosome engineering, and since these are expected to occur only rarely in special cytogenetic stocks, an efficient selection skill is necessary to identify them. To convert RF...

Allelopathic effects of plant residues is an important research avenue regarding optimization of rotation systems in agronomy. The aim of this study was to investigate the allelopathic effects of four plant residues, namely, black cumin, dragonhead, dill, and soybean on the germination and growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum) in different cropping systems. Results showed that applicatio...

abstract this study was conducted under cold climate condition in khorasan during 2006-2008 growing seasons to evaluation of soil fertility in wheat-based double cropping systems under different rate of nitrogen and return of crop residues. a randomized complete block design with split-split plot arrangement and three replicates was used. main plots were five crop rotations namely: wheat-wheat,...

This study aims at assessing if benefits, based on the economic performance of farms operating in an agro-food supply chain, are generated by a vertical coordination. A panel data (2008–2011) of durum wheat producers was used, namely the Italian Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN). Outcomes of coordinated and non-coordinated farms with equal farm and farmer characteristics were calculated thro...
