Associations between residential greenness, land cover and risk of celiac disease in genetically at‐risk children: Celiac Prediction in Skåne study

open access: yesJournal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Our aim was to study the association between residential land cover and greenness during childhood and risk of developing celiac disease (CeD). Methods The Celiac Prediction in Skåne study prospectively followed 5969 human leukocyte antigen (HLA)‐genotyped children born 2001–2004 who were screened for CeD at ages 3, 9, and 15 years ...

Synergistic effects of maize defoliation and common bean relay cropping in Western Ethiopia

open access: yesJSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Maize defoliation is practiced to enhance crop management by improving light penetration, nutrient allocation, controlling weeds, and providing supplementary feeds for livestock. A rapid decline in soil fertility and low crop yields associated with maize‐based monocropping has prompted the recent introduction of maize common bean ...

Effect of deficit irrigation on yield and water use efficiency of onion (Allium cepa L.) in arid zones [PDF]

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology
Onion is considered a major vegetable crops all over the world. In arid zones water deficit can affect the yield of crops such as onion. Through this research, four levels of irrigation were used (100% of the calculated crop evapotranspiration ET100, 80%

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Evapotranspiration and crop coefficients of Moringa oleifera under semi-arid conditions in Pernambuco

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental
Efficient water use in agriculture is fundamental, especially in semi-arid regions where water scarcity is intense. The aim of this study was to estimate water requirements and crop coefficients in the different phenological stages of Moringa oleifera ...

The Global Crop Water Model (GCWM) : documentation and first results for irrigated crops

open access: yes, 2008
A new global crop water model was developed to compute blue (irrigation) water requirements and crop evapotranspiration from green (precipitation) water at a spatial resolution of 5 arc minutes by 5 arc minutes for 26 different crop classes. The model is

A comparison of two models to predict nitrogen dynamics in organic agricultural systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Two publicly available crop/soil models were compared. These were the EU-Rotate_N model (www.warwick.ac.uk/go/eurotaten) and the NDICEA model (www.ndicea.nl).

Effect of saline irrigation on Tetragonia tetragonioides (Pall.) Kuntze grown on different soil types under greenhouse conditions

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Climate change and population growth are major challenges for sustainable food production, particularly in regions affected by water scarcity and soil salinization. In this context, halophytes represent promising candidates as alternative and sustainable food crops for salt‐affected areas.

Determination of crop evapotranspiration of tea (Thea sinensis) using weighing lysimeter for the Nilgiris

open access: yesJournal of Agrometeorology, 2009
A long term experiment (1996-2001) was conducted for determining crop evapotranspiration (ETc) of tea (Thea sinensis) using weighing type lysimeter at the Central Soil and Water Conservation Research and Training Institute-Research Centre (CSWCRTI-RC ...
