Management Strategies and Agricultural Calendars for Forage Production in Semi‐Arid Brazil Using AquaCrop

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forage production in semi‐arid regions of Brazil is limited by water deficit. This study aimed to identify the most adapted and efficient production systems and define their agricultural calendars for the semi‐arid region of Brazil. Twenty‐nine production arrangements that included different cropping conditions, plant density, plant cycles ...

Evaluation of CERES‐Maize Model for Predicting Yield, Evapotranspiration, Water Productivity and Drought Stress Indices Under Center Pivot, Subsurface Drip and Furrow Irrigation Systems With Different Irrigation Levels Simultaneously

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The effects of different irrigation methods (center pivot [CPI], subsurface drip [SDI] and furrow irrigation [FI]) and levels (full irrigation treatment [FIT], 80% FIT, 60% FIT and rainfed) on yield, crop evapotranspiration (ETc), ET‐water productivity (WPET) and drought stress index for leaf expansion (SIE) and photosynthesis (SIP) of maize ...

Assessing environmental and management factors that drive soybean yield gaps in Brazil

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Brazil is the world's largest producer and exporter of soybeans (Glycine max L. Merr.). Assessing yield gaps (Yg) is essential for improving resource use efficiency and guiding farmers’ management strategies. The objective of this study was to estimate soybean yield potential (Yp), water‐limited yields (Yw), and Yg based on water and ...

Effect of Phosphorus Fertilizer Placement Depth, Amount, and Soil Water Content on Early Maize Growth

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Drought stress (DS) reduces soil phosphorus (P) availability by limiting P diffusion and uptake, while global P resource scarcity exacerbates nutrient limitations for crops. Aim This study investigated whether deep subsurface P placement could alleviate the combined effects of P deficiency and DS on maize growth.

Biochar as a Strategy to Mitigate Greenhouse Gases in Degraded Drylands of the Brazilian Semiarid Region: Carbon Stocks and CO2 Fluxes

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the effects of pyrolytic biochars derived from co‐pyrolyzed sewage sludge and cashew residues on total organic carbon (TOC) recovery and CO2 emissions in degraded soils under greenhouse conditions. Biochar applications (5 to 40 Mg ha−1) enhanced soil carbon stocks and variably influenced CO2 fluxes over time.
