Present status and future prospects of transgenic approaches for drought tolerance

, 2016
Drought causes severe stress on plants and constrains crop production. New strategies are essential to overcome water loss and stabilize crop yield in agriculture in view of global climate change.

Voluntary Collective Action to Address Growing Agricultural Challenges in Two Countries: Experimental Insights and Commonalities

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We conducted two framed field economic experiments with citrus farmers in Florida, United States and soybean farmers in Argentina to investigate their willingness to coordinate pest and weed management efforts. Despite the contrast between these two agricultural contexts, we find striking behavioral commonalities.

Subsoiling with straw return optimizes the maize root system and water productivity

Agricultural Water Management
Long-term conventional tillage exacerbates subsoil compaction, restricting root penetration and water and nutrient uptake. Although subsoiling is known to mitigate plough pan formation, the interactive effects of tillage and straw return on root system ...

Overexpression of TERF1 in sugarcane improves tolerance to drought stress

, 2021
Sugarcane (Saccharum hybrid) is an important industrial crop worldwide. Its growth and sucrose contents are severely affected by drought stress. Genetic engineering offers a rapid solution to improve tolerance level of sugarcane against this stress. This

Low Participation and Risk Reduction Potential of Supplemental Crop Insurance in the United States

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Federally subsidized crop insurance is a cornerstone of U.S. farm risk management, yet policies with the greatest share of participation only trigger indemnities after losses exceed 15%. Supplemental insurance was introduced to cover part of this deductible, but participation remains largely unchanged.

Regional Differences in U.S. Consumer Preferences for Native Woody Shrubs With Varying Aesthetic Characteristics

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.

Giving drought the cold shoulder: a relationship between drought tolerance and fall dormancy in an agriculturally important crop [PDF]

, 2014
The growth of fall dormant/freezing tolerant plants often surpasses the growth of non-fall dormant/non-freezing tolerant types of the same species under water-limited conditions, while under irrigated conditions non-fall dormant types exhibit superior ...

Cost Pass‐Through in Crisis: Evidence From the German Malt‐Beer Supply Chain

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract Global agri‐food supply chains are increasingly exposed to geopolitical shocks, climate volatility, and market consolidation, factors that disrupt traditional price relationships and reshape market power dynamics. Nowhere is this more visible than in the brewing sector, where agricultural raw materials meet complex industrial processing and ...

Partial root zone irrigation and K application improves summer maize production and salt resistance in saline soil

Agricultural Water Management
Irrigation patterns and K fertilization are the key measures used to improve the salt tolerance of crops in saline land. A pot experiment was carried out to assess the effects of partial root-zone irrigation and K fertilization on maize in saline land ...
