These tests include immersion of the seed in water and ensuring its suitability to the climate and soil conditions in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The results of the test will be released next Monday, Barudo noted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The upcoming agricultural season poses a challenge to the AANES, after a year of low production due to drought, worsened by Turkey&#8217;s reduction of the flow of Euphrates water towards the Syrian territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The price of wheat seed was set at 1,200 Syrian pounds by the AANES, which has begun distributing it early this year, while the average price in the markets has reached 1,700 SYP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reporting by Ammar Abdullatif<\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#Syria&#8217;s #AANES is testing the wheat seeds sent by the USAID after Syrian government announced that the seeds have pests. @USAID #NE_Syria <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":68262,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4,39,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-68261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-economy","category-home","category-syria"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
