Weed Management in Pastures and Rangeland—2017
EDIS, 2017 Weeds in pastures and rangeland cost ranchers in excess of $180 million annually in Florida by reducing forage yield, lowering forage quality, and causing animal injury through toxicity or specialized plant organs (thorns and spines).

Designing and Implementing Data Warehouse for Agricultural Big Data [PDF]
BigData 2019, 2019 In recent years, precision agriculture that uses modern information and communication technologies is becoming very popular. Raw and semi-processed agricultural data are usually collected through various sources, such as: Internet of Thing (IoT), sensors, satellites, weather stations, robots, farm equipment, farmers and agribusinesses, etc.

Plant and Soil, 2012 BackgroundOxidation-reduction and acid–base reactions are essential for the maintenance of all living organisms. However, redox potential (Eh) has received little attention in agronomy, unlike pH, which is regarded as a master variable.

No-tillage and high-residue practices reduce soil water evaporation
California Agriculture, 2012 Reducing tillage and maintaining crop residues on the soil surface could improve the water use efficiency of California crop production. In two field studies comparing no-tillage with standard tillage operations (following wheat silage harvest and before

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The classic domestication scenario for grains and fruits has been portrayed as the lucky fixation of major-effect “domestication genes.” Characterization of these genes plus recent improvements in generating novel alleles (e.g., by gene editing) have ...

Land use around influences the entomological community in lettuce horticultural systems [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of BiologyThe complexity of the agroecosystem can also be assessed by the different land uses in the system and the surroundings, being a relevant way to assess the heterogeneity of the landscape and the effects on the community of interest, in this case ...

Measuring specialty crop grower willingness to pay for genetic modification and genetic editing
Agribusiness, EarlyView.Abstract In contrast to the widespread adoption of agricultural commodities modified using biotechnology, the adoption rate of bioengineered specialty crops by growers remains low. The use of bioengineered crops has been controversial since their introduction in the 1990s due to concerns about their potentially harmful effects to human health, the ...

Agribusiness, EarlyView.Abstract Straw returning is important for rural ecological management and sustainable agricultural development. Using farm survey data for Anhui Province, China, in 2020, we applied the double‐hurdle model to investigate the impact of agricultural machinery services and land fragmentation on farmers' straw‐returning behavior, and to explore the ...

Mechanical properties of drying plant roots: Evolution of the longitudinal Young's modulus of chick-pea roots with dessication [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Mechanical characterizations of plant roots are of primary importance in geophysics and engineering science for implementing mechanical models for the stability of root reinforced-soils, as well as in agronomy and soil science for understanding the penetration of roots in soils and optimizing crop. Yet the mechanical properties of plant roots depend on
