This research was carried out during both growing seasons 2009/10 -
2010/11 at the National Center for Agricultural Research and Extension
(NCARE) / Karak Governorate / Jordan, to study the response of five barley
varieties namely Mu'tah, Yarmok,
Athroh, Rum and Acsad-176 to the effect of
four seeding rates (50, 100, 150 and 200kg/ha) and five nitrogen fertilizer levels
(0, 15, 30, 45 and 60kg/ha) on the productivity of grain and straw, the harvest
index and some phenological indicators.
Twelve genotypes were tested for grain yield in three diverse
locations seasons 2013-2014 and 2014-2015. The genetic
material contained 7 promising lines and five checks
representing the local and improved cultivars durum wheat for
Zoon (A, B) in Syria.
This cultivation was carried out in the farm of the Faculty of Agriculture at Damascus University during the 2013-2014 agricultural season to study the effect of seeding rate per unit area and planting dates on yield and its components for three barley genotypes under rain-fed conditions.
