The shift from conventional irrigation methods to sprinkler systems is intended to improve accuracy and efficiency; however, it requires thorough validation of the uniformity of water distribution. This research focuses ...

Land surface and crop models both simulate irrigation, but they differ in their approaches, primarily because they were originally developed for distinct purposes and scales. Through an example case study in a highly irr...

This research was carried out in Eastern Mediterranean region of Türkiye in main and second crop field conditions to determine the appropriate plant density in peanut cultivation at 70 cm inter-row distances. For this a...

Evapotranspiration (ET) is a key variable in the hydrologic cycle that directly affects the redistribution of precipitation and surface balance. ET measurements with high temporal resolution are required for coupling wit...

ABSTRACT Soil, water, and nutrient loss by water erosion are among the main factors leading to land degradation, decreasing soil productivity and the provision of ecosystem services. The Cerrado-Amazon ecotone in western...

The constant use of sodium N-methyldithiocarbamate (metam sodium: MS) in protected agriculture in México has attracted the attention of researchers and producers on their effects on the environment. The objective of thi...

Abstract Agricultural soils serve as an important frontier in the global efforts to sequester carbon (C), providing scalable opportunities to address climate change through improved land management. However, the C seques...

The agricultural sector contributes significantly to the economic development of nations worldwide. Owing to the population explosion, agriculture must address the complex challenges to meet the growing food demand while...

Family farming systems are widespread in tropical cocoa production, supporting rural livelihoods while providing ecosystem services such as carbon storage and soil protection. However, farm structure and crop diversity a...

Propiedades superficiales de los suelos como textura y materia orgánica, juegan un rol muy importante en procesos vinculados a la dinámica hídrica y a la degradación de las tierras. Los sistemas conservacionistas de ...

ABSTRACT Onion is predominantly grown under conventional management. Alternatively, the no-tillage vegetable system uses cover crops to form a residue layer, which improves soil physical, chemical, and biological quality...

ABSTRACT We surveyed parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera) in two guarana plantations in the central Brazilian Amazon (one conventionally, and one organically managed), as well as in adjacent forest and edge areas between crop ...

A positive relationship between protein concentration and yield has been documented in different combinations of genotype and environment, often under potential conditions. However, the ecophysiological bases underlying ...

Wheat is the most widely grown food crop, with 761 Mt produced globally in 2020. To meet the expected grain demand by mid-century, wheat breeding strategies must continue to improve upon yield-advancing physiological tra...

This study aimed to investigate onion (Allium cepa L.) production practices in the Fez–Meknes region of Northern Morocco and explore the potential for adopting an agroecological model. Field visits and interviews were ...

The integration of underutilised orphan crops into food systems can reduce the reliance on major crops for global food security and support adaptation to climate change. Major crops are increasingly susceptible to climat...

Nanotechnology holds significant interest across various domains, including agriculture. The green synthesis of nanoparticles offers environmentally friendly solutions. This study aimed to synthesize copper nanoparticles...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are a key soil functional group, with an important potential to increase crop productivity and sustainable agriculture including food security. However, there is clear evidence that lan...

Seed-yield stability, frequently associated with drought-tolerance strategies, is one of the main breeding objectives for the development of crops for semi-arid mediterranean-type environments. Since breeding of new indu...

Water-scarce smallholder regions require irrigation strategies that are both biophysically credible and socially legitimate. We propose an integrated hydro-economic decision-support framework for the Cesar Department (Co...

Here, we show a unique crop response to intraspecific interference, whereby neighboring sunflower plants in a row avoid each other by growing toward a more favorable light environment and collectively increase production...

Nas áreas de produção de sementes de Tectona grandis em Cáceres, MT, ventos fortes podem causar queda precoce de frutos. Diásporos de três lotes de teca, um obtido após a queda natural e os outros dois após queda...

Despite the effect of water content on radar backscattering is well known, isolating the contributions from soil, vegetation, and vegetation superficial water content (wetness) is still challenging. This work aim to char...
