Corn Yield and Water Use Efficiency Under Contrasting Irrigation Application Methods: An Aquacrop Study Contrasting Subsurface Drip and Sprinkler Irrigation Methods.
Grain corn (Zea mays, L.) is sensitive to soil water availability, which can be influenced by irrigation application method. Four facts
motivate deficit irrigation of corn in this region. First, declining Ogallala aquifer ...
Modelling the Effects of Soil Conditions on Olive Productivity in Mediterranean Hilly Areas
The majority of olive production in Mediterranean environments is characterized by low external inputs and is practiced in hilly
areaswith shallowsoils.This study aimed to study the nutritional status for olive trees ...
Spatial and Temporal impacts of stone bunds on soil physical properties: a case study in the Northern Ethiopian Highlands
Central issue of rain fed agriculture systems in the Ethiopian highlands is to store rain
water in the soil during the rainy season. The aim is to maximize plant available water and
to reduce surface runoff and soil ...
The effect of trees on preferential flow and soil infiltrability in an agroforestry parkland in semiarid Burkina Faso
Water scarcity constrains the livelihoods of millions of people in tropical drylands. Tree planting
in these environments is generally discouraged due to the large water consumption by trees, but this view
may neglect their ...
Direct seeding of Salsola vermiculata for rehabilitation of degraded arid and semi-arid rangelands
Proper soil preparation provides the basis for good seed
germination and establishment of steppe vegetation in
the arid and semi-arid areas of West Asia and North
Africa. Salsola vermiculata is a key shrub species of ...
Investigation of the impact of stone bunds on soil water content - A case study in the northern Ethiopian Highland
During rainy season (June to September) soil erosion by surface runoff is a major issue and a big challenge
for soil conservation scenarios in the northern Ethiopian highland. For reduction of water erosion and thereby
decrease ...
Comparison of Soil Compaction Under Conventional Agriculture and Conservation Agriculture Practices
This study took place at the National Institute for Field Crops in Tunisia, under the Project:" to Support Development of Conservation Agriculture" (a project funded by the French Agency for Development). In this study we ...
Innovations for sustainability and food security in arid and semiarid lands
Dryland salinity, deforestation, decreasing productivity of rangelands and reduction of soil
productivity are widespread phenomena and primary causes of desertification in the Central
Asian region. The government of ...
Soil and Water Salinity in Iraq: Preliminary Analysis of Causes, Effects and Approaches to Management
This report presents research in progress on the causes, effects, of soil and water salinity in central and southern Iraq. Its objective is to identify the best soil, agronomic, irrigation and drainage management practices ...
Rôle des feux de savane sur les caractéristiques biogéochimiques des sols en zone soudanienne du Burkina Faso
Les feux de brousse dont les effets dépendent aussi bien de leurs intensités ainsi que de leur saison
d’occurrence, sont considérés comme une perturbation écologique majeure des écosystèmes savanicoles.
L’objectif général ...
