Local effects of climate change on row crop production and irrigation adoption

open access: yesClimate Risk Management, 2021
Global climate change will affect crop productivity, technology adoption, and commodity food and fiber prices. This research investigates the ex-ante effects of climate change on cropping mix and irrigation decisions at a watershed scale by integrating a

A Niche for Cowpea in Sub-Tropical Australia?

open access: yesAgronomy, 2021
Pulses have emerged as important rotation crops in Australia. Some are in demand in agricultural production systems due to their high potential market value, because of their roles as grain or forage crops, their nitrogen fixation capability, and because

Overcoming agricultural sustainability challenges in water-limited environments through soil health and water conservation: insights from the Ogallala Aquifer Region, USA

open access: yesInternational Journal of Agricultural Sustainability, 2023
A rapid decline in water availability for crop production has driven substantial changes in cropping systems in the arid and semi-arid regions, including transitions from irrigated to dryland cropping.

Cover cropping impacts on soil water and carbon in dryland cropping system

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2023
Incorporating cover crops into the rotation is a practice applied across many parts of the globe to enhance soil biological activities. In dryland farming, where crop production is highly dependent on rainfall and soil water storage, cover cropping can affect soil water, yet its effects on soil hydrological and biological health require further ...

Cropping System Diversification Influences Soil Microbial Diversity in Subtropical Dryland Farming Systems

open access: yesMicrobial Ecology, 2022
Abstract Conventional dryland cropping systems are characterised by low crop diversity and frequent fallows. This has significant impacts on soil microbes that underpin soil function. Diversifying crop rotations can potentially counter these effects; however, limited data exists on the impacts of diversified crop rotations on soil microbes in drylands.

Relating soil chemical properties to other soil properties and dryland crop production

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Soil chemical properties have often been related to some other soil properties and crop yields, but extensive evaluation of the relationships of soil chemical properties with other properties and long-term crop yields under dryland cropping systems is ...

The effect of conservation tillage on crop yield in China [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering, 2015
Traditional agricultural practices have resulted in decreased soil fertility, shortage of water resources and deterioration of agricultural ecological environment, which are seriously affecting grain production.

APPLICATION OF TURIMAN JALE AS AN INNOVATION TO IMPROVE CROP PRODUCTIVITY AND DRYLAND FARMERS’ INCOME IN GUNUNG KIDUL YOGYAKARTA

open access: yesAgric, 2022
Maize and soybean have been widely cultivated in dryland. However, their productivity is relatively low. Turiman Jale cropping system was then established as an innovation to increase productivity by intercropping maize and soybean with proper ...

Does Increasing the Diversity of Small Grain Cropping Systems Improve Aggregate Stability and Soil Hydraulic Properties?

open access: yesAgronomy, 2023
Wheat (Triticum aestivium L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) are two commonly grown cereal crops in the northern Great Plains. Adding other crops such as field pea (Pisum Sativum L.), canola (Brassica napus L.), or camelina (Camelina sativa L.) to wheat
