A Review on the Effect of Soil Compaction and its Management for Sustainable Crop Production

Journal of Biosystems Engineering, 2021
Sustainable crop production could contribute to feed and fuel for the ever-increasing global population. The use of heavy agricultural machinery has improved the efficiency of farming operations and increased global food production since the 1950s.

Crop Production under Drought and Heat Stress: Plant Responses and Management Options

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Abiotic stresses are one of the major constraints to crop production and food security worldwide. The situation has aggravated due to the drastic and rapid changes in global climate. Heat and drought are undoubtedly the two most important stresses having

Analysis of the distribution of assimilation products and the characteristics of transcriptomes in rice by submergence during the ripening stage

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Research on the submergence stress of rice has concentrated on the quiescence strategy to survive in long-term flooding conditions based on Submergence-1A (SUB1A). In the case of the ripening period, it is important that submergence stress can

Yield Trends Are Insufficient to Double Global Crop Production by 2050

PLoS ONE, 2013
Several studies have shown that global crop production needs to double by 2050 to meet the projected demands from rising population, diet shifts, and increasing biofuels consumption. Boosting crop yields to meet these rising demands, rather than clearing

Soil quality assessment of lowland rice soil of eastern India: Implications of rice husk biochar application

Heliyon, 2023
The role of biochar in improving the soil properties of problem soils is well known, but its long term impact on lowland rice soil is not well recognized. The soil quality indicators of biochar applied lowland rice soil are not widely reported.
