Management alternatives for improved durum wheat production under supplemental irrigation in Syria
TLDR
In this paper, a 4-year field study (1992/1993 to 1995/1996) on a deep clay soil in northern Syria assessed the impact of supplemental irrigation (SI), improved varieties, nitrogen (N) and sowing dates.About:

Adaptation of crop management to water-limited environments
TL;DR: In this article, the authors combine various crop management strategies to cope with water deficit resulting from soil, weather or limited irrigation: drought escape, avoidance or tolerance, crop rationing, irrigation (supplemental, deficit).

Durum wheat quality under Mediterranean conditions as affected by N rate, timing and splitting, N form and S fertilization
TL;DR: In this article, three different experiments were designed to study the effects of N fertilizer rate, timing and splitting, and the response to combined application of N and S fertilizer on the quality of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L.) over a 3-year period in Vertisols under rainfed Mediterranean conditions.

Growth, yield and water productivity of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) affected by tillage and N fertilization in Mediterranean semiarid, rainfed conditions of Spain
TL;DR: In this article, the use of conservation tillage in this specific Northeast area of the Ebro Valley improved the yield of barley and its water-use efficiency (WUE) of barley, the predominant crop in the area.

The role of supplemental irrigation and nitrogen in producing bread wheat in the highlands of Iran
Ali Reza Tavakkoli,Theib Oweis +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a field study on a deep clay silty soil in north west of Iran was conducted with four SI levels (rainfed, 1/3, 2/3 and full irrigation requirements) combined with different N rates (0, 30, 60, 90 and 120) with one wheat variety (Sabalan).
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimising sowing date of durum wheat in a variable Mediterranean environment
TL;DR: The simulation results showed that sowing wheat before December can result in higher yields in the absence of waterlogging, however, the high frequency of water logging on the clay soils, showed no average yield advantage of sowing before December.

Stabilizing Rainfed Wheat Yields with Supplemental Irrigation and Nitrogen in a Mediterranean Climate
TL;DR: In this paper, a field study on a deep clay soil (a Calcixerollic Xerochrept) in northern Syria was conducted for four growing seasons to assess the effects of supplemental irrigation (SI) combined with N rate (0, 50, 100, and 150 kg ha -1 ) and sowing date (early, normal, and late) on one traditional (Mexipak 65) and three improved bread wheat cultivars (Cham 4, Cham 6, Gomam).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors established the climatically determined potential grain yields of wheat for different locations of India, to quantify the gap between actual and potential yields and to determine the optimal levels of irrigation and N required for given productivity levels.

J. E. Kurle,Francis L. Pfleger +1 more
TL;DR: The influence of management practices and crop species on AMF spore populations and percent root colonization was examined during coversion from conventional to low-input and low- input to conventional management systems in 2-yr crop rotations planted to alternating corn-soybean sequences.
