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.
