Climate‐Smart Dairy Practices: The Role of Practice Clusters in Enhancing the Performance of Dairy Farms in Kenya

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate variability is affecting the productivity, profitability, and resilience of smallholder dairy producers in developing countries. The adoption of climate‐smart (CS) dairy practices has been promoted to mitigate these negative effects. However, while interest in dairy CS practices is growing, empirical evidence on their adoption patterns

Optimizing subsoiling depth to enhance soil water storage and annual crop water productivity in wheat-maize cropping system

open access: yesAgricultural Water Management
Subsoiling effectively enhances crop water productivity (CWP) by optimizing soil structure. Nevertheless, the effects of different subsoiling depths on cross-seasonal soil water utilization and CWP remain unclear.

A new method for evaluating the drought tolerance of upland rice cultivars

open access: yesCrop Journal, 2017
Worldwide, approximately 27 million ha of rice are grown in upland rather than paddy fields, and is subject to drought stress. To counter this stress, it is desirable to breed new rice cultivars with improved drought tolerance.
