Delineation of management zones in integrated crop–livestock systems

Agronomy Journal, 2021
AbstractThe lack of studies on spatial variability in integrated crop–livestock systems (ICLS) hinders understanding how to increase their efficiency by implementing precision agriculture (PA) practices. As such, little is known about how grain and forage crops interact and how to improve the decision‐making process on fertilization and forage ...

Resilience of an Integrated Crop–Livestock System to Climate Change: A Simulation Analysis of Cover Crop Grazing in Southern Brazil

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2020
Integrated crop–livestock systems are a form of sustainable intensification of agriculture that rely on synergistic relationships between plant and animal system elements to bolster critical agroecosystem processes, with potential impacts on resilience ...

Integrated multi-omics implicates the gut microbiota and bilirubin in abdominal fat deposition in Huainan yellow chickens

Poultry Science
The Huainan yellow chicken is prized for its meat quality, but excessive abdominal fat deposition hampers its production efficiency. To investigate the underlying mechanisms, we compared high-fat deposition (HFD) and low-fat deposition (LFD) chickens ...

Advances in research on spexin-mediated regulation of reproductive function in vertebrates

Frontiers in Endocrinology
Spexin (SPX, NPQ) is a 14-amino acid neuroactive peptide identified using bioinformatics. This amino acid sequence of the mature spexin peptide has been highly conserved during species evolution and is widely distributed in the central nervous system and

Assessing complementary synergies for integrated crop–livestock systems under conservation agriculture in Tunisian dryland farming systems

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2023
The aim of this paper is twofold. The first objective is to measure the technical efficiency of mixed crop-livestock (CL) smallholder producers operating under conservation agriculture systems in Tunisian rainfed areas. The second objective is to explore

Chemical and physical fractions of soil organic matter under various management regimes in Roraima, Brazil

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2017
The crop-livestock integration (CLI) and crop-livestock-forest integration (CLFI) management systems, have been shown to be viable approaches for increasing carbon sequestration in soils, resulting in the improvement of physical and chemical soil ...

Evolution of Integrated Crop-Livestock Production Systems [PDF]

, 2022
Key points 1. Many factors contribute to changes in the crop-livestock systems, but no logical end-point in the evolution process exists. 2. While benefits of integrated crop-livestock systems over specialised crop and livestock systems are well ...

Glyphosate Herbicide Use in Urochloa brizantha Management in Intercropping With Herbicide-Resistant Maize [PDF]

Planta Daninha, 2016
The success of the intercropping among cultivated species depends on the adoption of practices that provide, in due course, greater competitive ability of a species over another. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of glyphosate herbicide
