Globally, African marigold (MG) derived essential oils (EOs) have attained an immense economic pertinence in the flavor, fragrance, food, medicinal, and floricultural industries, which necessitate boosting its production on a commercial scale. Therefore, we aimed to assess varying levels (0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 mg L-1) of exogenously applied mela...

In maize-soybean intercropping systems (ICS), the morphophysiological growth traits and grain yield of component crops (CC), especially of soybean suffer adversely owing to the dominance of maize in acquiring growth resources and shading effect. Thus, a field trial was conducted entailing maize hybrids (H1= YH-1898 and H2= YH-5427) and defoliation...

To prevent environmental pollution, promote ecological restoration and impart production sustainability in biomass crops, optimization of mineral fertilization regimes is strategically required under changing climatic scenarios. There exist research gaps regarding optimal use of nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P) and potassium (K) fertilizers for the fe...

Indigenous chickens of Jordan are facing extinction and need genetic conservation because they were unable to commercially compete in poultry industry because of low genetic ability ‎compared to commercial layers. The study aimed to investigate phenotypic and genetic diversity ‎of village chickens in the Jordan using discriminant analyses procedure...

The purpose of the study is to determine how geographical proximity, climate, and topography influence the morphology of village chickens in Jordan’s Karak Governorate. Surveys were conducted in six regions of Karak as well as Tafilah, Madaba, Aqaba, and Al-Mafraq governarates. These governarates were included because they are geographically close...

Field experiment was carried out at Ghour AlSafi in Jordan valley to study the effect of pollination methods on fruit set, yield and some fruit characteristics of Hayani date palm cultivars. Results showed that hand pollination method has better fruit set and yield, but it showed a reduction in fruit weight owing to the obvious increase in yield. T...

This study aims at examining the effect of stratification and sulphuric acid scarification treatments on Medjool, wild date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) and Washingtonia robusta seeds. The results showed that the highest germination percentage was obtained from wild date palm genotype. The results also showed that the highest plumule length was obtai...

Field experiment was carried out at Ghour AlSafi in Jordan valley to study the effect of water spray time on Fruit set, yield and some characteristics on two date palm Cultivar (Hayani and Zaghloly). Results of this investigation have showed that control treatment (without water spray) has better fruit set and yield in both cultivar, but has less f...

This study was conducted to survey and characterize wild populations of date palm in Jordan. Phenotypic parameters either vegetative, leaf morphology, physical and chemical properties of fruits, and genetic diversity within and among populations were also, analyzed. Ecogeographical survey showed that date palm trees are naturally growing in differe...
