Adaptation and Stability Analysis of ICARDA Durum Wheat Elites across 18 Countries
Durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) is the 10th most important crop in the world, and its cultivation occurs on a vast array of international agroenvironments. However, its wide international adaptation is only marginally ...
Wheat Zapper: a flexible online tool for colinearity studies in grass genomes
In the course of evolution, the genomes of grasses have maintained an observable degree of gene order conservation. The information available for already sequenced genomes can be used to predict the gene order of nonsequenced ...
Flume experimental evaluation of the effect of rill flow path tortuosity on rill roughness based on the Manning–Strickler equatio
Numerous soil erosion models compute concentrated flow hydraulics based on the Manning–Strickler equation
(v = kSt R2/3 I1/2) even though the range of the application on rill flow is unclear. Unconfined rill morphologies
generate ...
Water balances and evapotranspiration in water and dry‐seeded rice systems
Rice is a crop that is usually grown under flooded conditions and can require large amounts of water. The objective of this 3-year study was to quantify water use in water- (WS) and dry-seeded (DS) systems. In WS systems, ...
Effect of flushing frequency on emitter clogging in microirrigation with effluents
Flushing is an important maintenance task that removes accumulated particles in microirrigation
laterals that can help to reduce clogging problems. The effect of three dripline flushing frequency
treatments (no flushing, ...
Long-run evaluation of fertilization strategies for dryland wheat in Northcentral Oregon: Simulation analysis
Farmers commonly apply fixed ‘blind’ quantities of nitrogen fertilizer during the fallow or at seeding in rainfed winter wheat-fallow systems in Northcentral Oregon, an area characterized by high year-to-year variation in ...
Integrated joint pest management strategies in the presence of control spillovers
ntegrated pest management has proved cost-effective in coping with crop pests. This article identifies characteristics of pests, controls and economic incentives that may make the development of an integrated joint pest ...
SWAT: Agricultural water and nonpoint source pollution management at a watershed scale—Part II
This is the second part of a Special Issue on developments and applications of the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) related to agricultural water and nonpoint source pollution management at a watershed scale (see Volk ...
Will selenium increase lentil (Lens culinaris Medik) yield and seed quality?
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik), a nutritious traditional pulse crop, has been experiencing a declining area of production in South East Asia, due to lower yields, and marginal soils. The objective of this study was to ...
Factors affecting the adoption of multiple climate‐smart agricultural practices in the Indo‐Gangetic Plains of India
Climate change poses a major threat to agricultural production and food security in India, and climate‐smart agriculture (CSA) is crucial in addressing the potential impacts. Using survey data from 1,267 farm households ...
