Integrated crop-livestock management system in rainfed lowland
Abstract Rainfed lowland rice is the second largest rice growing areas in Indonesia. One of the most vulnerable agro-ecosystems to the climate change is the rainfed lowland because of the erratic, unpredictable rainfall and most of them have very limited access on water resources.

Delineation of management zones in integrated crop–livestock systems
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 ...
