Influence of crop rotation and liming on greenhouse gas emissions from a semiarid soil
Semi-arid lands represent one fifth of the global land area but our understanding of greenhouse gas fluxes from these regions is poor. We investigated if inclusion of a grain legume and/or lime in a crop rotation altered ...
Extractable soil nutrient effects on feed quality traits of crop residues in the semiarid rainfed mixed crop–livestock farming systems of Southern India
In the mixed crop–livestock systems, while general relation among feed
quality, productivity and soil nutrient management have been reported, information on the
effects of extractable soil nutrients on crop residue (CR) ...
Multiple Impact of Integrated Watershed Management in Low Rainfall Semi-Arid Region: A Case Study from Eastern Rajasthan, India
The agriculture in low rainfall areas of eastern Rajasthan, India is characterized by high risks from drought, degraded
natural resources and pervasive poverty, food insecurity and malnutrition. In this region, water is ...
Combining permanent beds and residue retention with nitrogen fertilization improves crop yields and water productivity in irrigated arid lands under cotton, wheat and maize
Intensive soil tillage and mismanagement of irrigation water and fertilizers are increasing production costs, reducing soil fertility and crop water productivity and threatening the sustainability of crop production systems ...
Tillage system and genotype effects on early vigor and water use in bread wheat in the Mediterranean region
The southern part of the Mediterranean basin is among the regions that are characterized by recurrent
droughts and it is threatened by the effects of climate change. To deal with these problems in wheat,
improved techniques ...
Phosphorus In Low-Input Dryland Agriculture: The Perspective From Syria
Although most of the research on phosphorus (P) in developed countries focuses on the environmental implications of excess P fertilizer use, the opposite occurs in developing countries. The northern Africa-western Asia ...
Simulation analysis of factors affecting sorghum yield at selected sites in eastern and southern Africa, with emphasis on increasing temperatures
Global warming is widely predicted to decrease crop yields in tropical, sub-tropical and Mediterranean
climatic regions as a result of a speeding up of phenological development and shortening of the time
to maturity. We ...
Inheritance of resistance to Ascochyta rabiei in 15 chickpea germplasm accessions
Inheritance of resistance to race 4 of Ascochyta rabiei was studied in fifteen
chickpea accessions known internationally for Ascochyta blight
(AB) resistance. Resistance in ILC 200, ILC 5921, ILC 6043 and ILC
6090 was ...
Genome-Wide Association Mapping For Five Major Pest Resistances In Wheat
Insect pests cause substantial damage to wheat production in many wheat-producing areas of the world. Amongst these, Hessian fly (HF), Russian wheat aphid (RWA), Sunn pest (SP), wheat stem saw fly (WSSF) and cereal leaf ...
Learning about sustainability and gender through Farmer Field Schools in the Taita Hills, Kenya
This research uses transformative learning theory to explore how Farmers Field Schools (FFS) of the Taita
Hills, Kenya have contributed to environmental sustainability, with a particular focus on gendered
learning. Both ...
