Adoption of Conservation-Tillage Methods and Genetically Modified Cotton

Adoption of herbicide-tolerant cotton and conservation tillage may be simultaneously related. Bayes' theorem and a two-equation logit model were used to test the simultaneity hypothesis. Evidence for Tennessee suggests that adoption of these technologies

How much grassland do we need?

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
A scaling analysis of global planted grassland area vs. country size. Abstract The United Nations has designated 2026 as the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists, drawing attention to the importance of grasslands and the communities that rely on them. Rangelands cover 54% of Earth's land surface, including grasslands, savannas, shrublands,

Empirical Assessment of Baseline Conservation Tillage Adoption Rates and Soil Carbon Sequestration in the Upper Mississippi River Basin

The study proposes a methodology for developing a carbon sequestration baseline attributable to the current use of conservation tillage. An integral component of the methodology is the explicit acknowledgment that there is an uncertainty in the baseline ...

Residence Near Agricultural Crops at Birth and Risk of Adult Testicular Germ Cell Tumors: A French Nationwide Case–Control Study Using Historical Aerial GIS Data

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
As the incidence of testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) rises, prenatal exposure to agricultural pesticides may represent an important risk factor. Here, geographic information system‐based measures of farmland proximity at birth were used as a proxy for early‐life pesticide exposure in France, a major pesticide consumer.

Subtropical maize production and soil microbial communities show minimal response to earthworm bio-tillage

Scientific Reports
Conservation tillage has become an increasingly important practice for addressing soil degradation in agricultural systems, but its effectiveness on crop production remains uncertain, especially under humid conditions.

Transforming Agricultural Water Management Through the Water–Energy–Food Nexus: Trends, Opportunities, Barriers and Solutions

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agricultural water management (AWM) is increasingly transitioning towards transformative thinking, where interconnected sectors, including water, energy and food, are managed holistically. Trends point towards cross‐sectoral and harmonised strategies to optimise water use efficiency and productivity, integrate renewable energy, promote ...
