The use of mixed species cropping to manage pests and diseases – theory and practice [PDF]

, 2002
This paper was presented at the UK organic research 2002 on behalf of colloquium of Organic Researchers (COR). Mixed species cropping is often perceived as a viable tool to increase on-farm biodiversity in organic agriculture and is a potentially ...

Assessing fiber quality variability among modern upland cotton cultivars and incorporating it into the GOSSYM-based fiber quality simulation model

Journal of Cotton Research
Background GOSSYM is a mechanistic, process-based cotton model that can simulate cotton crop growth and development, yield, and fiber quality. Its fiber quality module was developed based on controlled experiments explicitly conducted on the Texas Marker-

Impact of cropping system on mycorrhiza [PDF]

, 1999
The impact of cropping system on field communities of mycorrhizal fungi was studied utilising a long-term experiment on a loamy soil. Two contrasting crop rotations each with two fertilisation regimes were compared. The conventional crop rotation (barley-

Simultaneously genetic selection of wheat yield and grain protein quality in rice–wheat and soybean–wheat cropping systems through critical nitrogen efficiency-related traits

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Analyzing the contribution of nitrogen (N) uptake and its utilization in grain yield and protein quality-related traits in rice-wheat (RW) and soybean-wheat (SW) cropping systems is essential for simultaneous improvements in the two target traits.

Sociocultural Mechanisms Concerning Cropping Systems in Mountain Agriculture: A Case Study of the Eastern Slopes of Tanzania’s Uluguru Mountains

Agriculture, 2020
In agricultural science, the establishment of a given cropping system in mountainous areas is often understood from the relationship between differences of altitude-specific, agroecological conditions and crop cultivation characteristics. However, social

Cropping system to limit blast disease in upland rice [PDF]

, 2010
Cropping system is an essential aspect to take into account to manage blast disease (caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae). In addition to the selection of resistant cultivars, studies report opportunities to limit blast incidence by managing mineral ...

Native Grassland Conversion: the Roles of Risk Intervention and Switching Costs [PDF]

, 2013
We develop a real option model of the irreversible native grassland conversion decision. Upon plowing, native grassland can be followed by either a permanent cropping system or a system in which land is put under cropping (respectively, grazing) whenever
