ARE AGROECOLOGICAL CROPPING SYSTEMS SUITABLE FOR TROPICAL HORTICULTURAL CROPS?
Acta Horticulturae, 2011Nowadays, tropical horticulture is often characterized with a high use of chemicals (pesticides and fertilizers) that may led to both a diffuse and long term pollution of soils and water resources and an acute contamination of fruits and vegetables with pesticide residues.

CROP — Decision Support System for Crop Production
1991Up to the present everybody realize that the modern agriculture leads to degradation of natural ecosystems and ecological potential, and can be considered as a serious polluter of environment. So it’s necessary to apply only those agricultural practices which minimize the processes of degradation and provide sustainable growth strategies.

Tragedies and Crops: Understanding Natural Selection To Improve Cropping Systems
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2016Plant communities with traits that would maximize community performance can be invaded by plants that invest extra in acquiring resources at the expense of others, lowering the overall community performance, a so-called tragedy of the commons (TOC). By contrast, maximum community performance is usually the objective in agriculture.

The sequencing of genomes has been completed for an increasing number of crop species, and researchers have now succeeded in isolating and characterising many important QTLs/genes. High expectations from genomics, however, are waving back toward the recognition that crop physiology is also important for realistic improvement of crop productivity ...

Rainfed intensive crop systems.
2014Abstract This chapter focuses on the importance of intensive cropping systems in contributing to the world supply of food and feed. The impact of climate change on intensive crop production systems is also discussed.

Time and the Productivity of Agronomic Crops and Cropping Systems
Agronomy Journal, 2011Economic yield of a crop is always a function of a growth rate expressed over time, but historically plant processes associated with rates probably received more attention than those associated with time. Time influences crop productivity in two ways; the time devoted to the growth of the crop can affect yield, and the time available for plant growth ...
