Peanut Yield Gap Closure Is a Potential Option to Improve Edible Oil Security in China
ABSTRACT China's self‐sufficiency rate (SSR) for edible oil stands at 29%, which is mainly due to a low soybean SSR of 15% with substantial imports. Peanut, one of the major oil crops in China, has been self‐sufficient since the 1960s and holds potential for enhancing the country's edible oil security if its production can be further increased. However,

Abstract The use of winter cover crops and conservation tillage are agricultural practices promoted to reduce nutrient and sediment loss from cropland, improve soil health, increase infiltration, and support farm nutrient cycling and ecosystem services. However, environmental performance of these practices is variable in the working farm landscape. The

Abstract Tillage and cover cropping are known to affect soil water dynamics and crop evapotranspiration (ET), and consequently, water footprint (WF) of crop production and economic return. In this study, two tillage practices (conventional tillage [CT] and no‐tillage [NT]) and cover crop (CC) treatments (Austrian winter pea [Pisum sativum] CC and no‐CC
