Potential effect of key soil bacterial taxa on the increase of rice yield under milk vetch rotation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Legume crop rotation is often adopted in rice cultivation to improve soil productivity. However, little is known about the role of microbes under legume rotation in affecting soil productivity. To elucidate this, a long-term paddy cropping experiment was

Agricultural Drone-Based Variable-Rate N Application for Regulating Wheat Protein Content

Drones
Implementing a variable-rate application (VRA) of fertilization based on real-time crop growth status reduces costs and enhances work efficiency. However, the technical challenges associated with obtaining accurate growth-distribution maps and applying ...

Tillage practices affect weeds differently in monoculture vs crop rotation

, 2020
Reduced tillage practices are widely considered to be more sustainable than conventional tillage practices, but many producers remain reluctant to reduce tillage due to difficulties controlling weeds.

Whole-rotation dry matter and nitrogen grain yields from the first course of an organic farming crop rotation experiment

, 2002
The possibilities for increasing total grain yield in organic cereal production through manipulation of crop rotation design were investigated in a field experiment on different soil types in Denmark from 1997 to 2000.

Crop rotation

, 2016
Crop rotation consists of the organization of the succession of crops on a given field. The rotation is organised in a regular cycle which can be more or less long. It is called biennial when two species are cultivated successively from one year to the next, triennial for three species, etc.

Plasticity in Caste-Fate Determination During the Adult Stage in Temperate Polistes Wasps

Insects
The reproductive division of labor is a fundamental characteristic of eusociality; thus, understanding the caste determination system underlying the reproductive division of labor would shed more light on the evolution of eusociality.

Evaluation of Environmental and Economic Performance of Crop Production in Relation to Crop Rotation, Catch Crops, and Tillage

, 2023
Crop production constitutes a significant portion of the EU’s agricultural output and influences land use decisions. Various elements within the crop production system can significantly impact its outcomes.

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.
