Weed responses to fallow management in Pacific Northwest dryland cropping systems. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 A two-year rotation of summer fallow (SF)/winter wheat (WW) is the most common cropping system in low precipitation areas of the U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW). In SF, multiple tillage operations are used to manage weeds and maximize soil water storage and

Macronutrients (NPK) balance in rice field and dryland maize cropping systems
Journal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management, 2022 Fertilisers, especially those containing NPK nutrients, have become a necessity in farming both rice fields and dry land. Most of the application of fertilisers is based on plant commodities and less based on the nature of the diversity of the soil or ...

Effects of Ridge and Furrow Planting Patterns on Crop Yield and Grain Quality in Dryland Maize–Wheat Double Cropping System [PDF]
PlantsRidge and furrow planting is a prevalent drought-resistant cultivation technique in dryland regions. Notably, the effects of this technology on crop grain yield and quality in dryland maize–wheat double-cropping systems remain limited.
