Biochar is a carbon-rich organic substance, an organic amendment, and a by-product produced when biomass is pyrolyzed at high temperatures and low oxygen levels. Thus, biochar can generate environmentally beneficial farm-based renewable energy. Specifically, the quality of biochar is determined by several variables, including the kind of soil, meta...

Experimental tests are carried out to evaluate the impact of treated wastewater (TWW) on the discharge of five different types of emitters which are commonly used. Two water qualities, fresh water (FW) and treated wastewater, and five types of emitters, GR, Nein (NE), Edin (ED), Corona (CO), and Rain Bird (RB) are tested. The values of chemical pro...

Wheat (Triticum durum L.) is considered one of the most widely grown cereal crops under rainfed conditions in Jordan. The traditional or conventional tillage systems practiced in Jordan depleted soil resources and resulted in lower crop yields. Therefore, the conservation tillage system is expected to increase crop yield as compared with the tradit...

Planting date may affect barley grown in semi-arid regions, where high temperature and drought stress are common during late crop development and maturation. The objective of this research was to study the effect of planting date on seedling emergence, yield and yield components, seed germination and vigor of two barley cultivars. Field emergence,...
