Synergy‐based crop suitability assessment for agrivoltaics: An easy‐to‐use traffic‐light framework for temperate climates

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change and the growing demand for renewable energy are putting increasing pressure on land, as food production and solar power generation often compete for the same areas. In this study, we assessed which temperate‐region crops are best suited for agrivoltaics, a technology combining farming and solar electricity production on the same land. We

Fungal disease management in cotton using plant protection products: An Australian perspective

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Cotton disease management requires evidence‐driven use of plant protection products. Progress hinges on integrating chemistry, diagnostics, stewardship and sustainability to build resilient production systems. Abstract Cotton production faces persistent challenges from pathogens that compromise plant establishment, yield, and fibre quality.

Application of ERTS-1 imagery in mapping and managing soil and range resources in the Sand Hills region of Nebraska [PDF]

Interpretations of imagery from the Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS-1) indicate that soil associations and attendant range sites can be identified on the basis of vegetation and topography using multi-temporal imagery.

Inter‐Annual Variation in Alpha and Beta Diversity of Benthic Macroinvertebrate Communities in Agricultural Ditches

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ditches are essential elements of the agricultural landscape because of their role as habitat or refuge for aquatic species, especially in homogenized and intensively cultivated areas. However, data on the biodiversity associated with agricultural ditches, and its variation over time, are underrepresented in ecological research.

Exploring Farmers' Intentions to Mitigate Climate Change Through the Lens of the Theory of Reasoned Goal Pursuit

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is a major challenge requiring farmers to adopt sustainable practices. As climate policies often depend on voluntary action, understanding what motivates farmers is essential. This study applies the Theory of Reasoned Goal Pursuit (TRGP) to assess key factors influencing Hungarian farmers' intentions to mitigate climate change ...

A Hero's Journey to Systemic Change: Developing Expertise in Agricultural Development

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Experts in rural development and agrarian change wield considerable influence over programme design and delivery, directing resources and shaping trajectories towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Yet the pathways through which such expertise develops remain under‐examined. This study examines the journey to expertise among experts

Quality of center pivot irrigation controlled by tensiometers

, 1994
The irrigation quality was evaluated for a center pivot winter bean (Phaseolus vulgaris, L) crop in a Typic Hapludox of the county of Guaíra (SP), Brazil (20° 27'30"S, 48°19'30"W, 495m). Criteria used for this evaluation were the crop water use efficiency and the irrigation "effectivity", the latter being assessed by the water application ...
