Comparison of Risk Between Cropping Systems in Eastern Norway

The aim of this study was to compare production and policy risk of organic, integrated and conventional cropping systems in Norway. Experimental cropping system data (1991-1999) from eastern Norway were combined with budgeted data.

A cost-effective approach to estimate plant available water capacity

Geoderma
Accurately quantifying plant available water capacity (PAWC) of soil is important for maximising crop yields in dryland cropping systems, as PAWC positively correlates with crop yields.

Native seed mix functional composition determines native plant recruitment and competition against invasive annual grass Bromus tectorum

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The invasion of the winter annual grass Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) reduces native plant biodiversity and increases wildfire risk in western North America. Seed‐based restoration often fails to increase native plant recruitment in degraded, Cheatgrass‐invaded areas.

FORECASTING YIELD AND PROFITABILITY OF MAIZE CROPPING SYSTEM USING SIMULATION MODELS IN UASIN GISHU, KENYA

Simulation models have been used successfully to forecast productivity of cropping systems under various weather, management and policy scenarios. These models have helped farmers make efficient resource allocation decisions. However, in Kenya simulation

Reducing Nitrogen Fertilization Rate in Spring Wheat–Pea Rotation Sustains Spring Wheat Yield and Quality

Agronomy
The reduced N fertilization rate and N supplied by pea (Pisum sativum L.) residue may sustain subsequent spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth, yield, and quality.

Effect of crop rotation on nematode populations in dryland rice-based cropping systems of Batangas, Philippines

, 1978
This article 'Effect of Crop Rotation on Nematode Populations in Dryland Rice-Based Cropping Systems of Batangas, Philippines' appeared in the International Rice Research Newsletter series, created by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). The primary objective of this publication was to expedite communication among scientists concerned with

CrustCheck: a conceptual framework for interpreting biocrust trait–function relationships in drylands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Biocrusts are increasingly recognized for their contribution to soil stability, hydrology, nutrient cycling, and energy balance in drylands, yet practical field methods for assessing functional roles are limited. Existing approaches typically rely on cover estimates, taxonomic identification, or laboratory analyses, providing ...

Promoting soil health in dryland agriculture by increasing cropping intensity

, 2019
Extended fallow periods are implemented in dryland cropping systems to allow recharge of soil moisture for the subsequent crop. Over time, fallow periods deplete soil carbon (C), a foundation of soil health that affects soil microbial activity and the ...

No need to seed: restoring species‐rich grassland on former arable fields by natural regeneration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Over the last century, agricultural intensification has caused substantial losses of semi‐natural species‐rich grasslands. One means of restoring grassland habitat is to abandon farmed land, followed by mowing and/or grazing of the established vegetation to facilitate meadow diversification. Objectives This study investigated post‐

ECONOMICS OF WHEAT-FALLOW CROPPING SYSTEMS IN WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA

Income and risk aspects of wheat-fallow cropping systems are analyzed in western North Dakota. A wheat yield trend estimation model based on county yields (1950-77) is developed using independent variables of year, annual precipitation, acres of ...
