The study was conducted in order to know the ability of
Korschinskii Almonds and Orientalis Almonds to resistance of the
drought stress using several levels of water irrigation (100, 75, 50
and 25%) from the field capacity, with several indicators
(number
of leaves, the thickness of the leaves, root growth). The results
obtained showed not affected by the stock in the Korschinskii
Almonds drought stress (255, 242, 220, 198 leaves), while the
number of leaves that accompany the burning edges under the
influence of drought stress in Orientalis Almonds (250, 130, 60, 12 leaves) at levels of irrigation water (100, 75, 50, 25%) of field
capacity respectively.
The objective of this study was to characterize and determine the genetic
variation among twelve cultivars and four rootstocks, belonging to Amygdalus
genus in Syria using the simple sequence repeats (SSRs) marker. It was found
that 154 alleles we
re identified by using 26 primer pairs, and the proportion of
the specific ones was 30.52%. In addition, it was revealed that all the studied
SSR loci produced polymorphic alleles. The average of PIC, He and Ho were
0.58, 0.61, 0.31, respectively.
Five insecticides were evaluated for controlling of almond seed wasp,
Eurytoma amygdali, the study was carried out at Al Fhaila – Homs. The
insecticides were Concord super, Karate zeon, Zenith, Lentrek and Desis
50.The results indicated that insec
ticides affected significantly the infestation,
Concord super caused the lowest infestation (2.66%) compared with the control
(39%) in (2009). In 2010, Karate zeon caused the lowest infestation (2.66%)
where it was (40%) in the control. The economic analysis indicated that
Concord super was the best because of its lowest cost and highest saving money
in secticide (5832.2) Sp., but Karate zeon was the least money-saving insechcide
(5525.4) Sp.
