Abstract Flood managed aquifer recharge (Flood‐MAR) is an emerging practice to enhance groundwater sustainability through recharge of aquifers. However, in agricultural systems Flood‐MAR may harm groundwater quality, given residual soil nitrate (NO3−).

Improving simulation of soil water balance using lysimeter observations in a semiarid climate. [PDF]
Water balance simulation in cropping systems is a very useful tool to study how water can be used efficiently. However this requires that models simulate an accurate water balance.

A comprehensive R interface for the DSSAT Cropping Systems Model
Abstract The Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer Cropping Systems Model (DSSAT-CSM) is a widely used modeling system. The DSSAT R package was developed to provide tools that would facilitate preparing required model inputs, executing simulations, and processing and analyzing outputs for DSSAT-CSM.

Balancing Productivity and Climate Impact: A Framework to Assess Climate‐Smart Irrigation
Abstract Changes in rainfall and temperature regimes increasingly threaten global crop productivity, particularly in water‐limited regions. Climate‐smart agriculture aims to improve yields while minimizing its climate impact, such as from soil greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions driven by microbial activity.

Managing Crop Production Risk with Crop Index Insurance Products [PDF]
Index crop insurance products can eliminate the asymmetric information problem inherent in farm-level multiple peril crop insurance. Purchasers of index insurance products are, however, exposed to basis risk.

Assessing Maize Yield Variability under Climate Change Using DSSAT Model
Crop production is inherently sensitive to variability in climate. Temperature and CO2 are two important parameters related to climate change, affecting crop yield in a particular region. In this study, an attempt has been made to assess the impact of these two parameters on the productivity of maize crop taking sub tropical region of Jammu as study ...

Assessing Yield Gaps and Risks in Cropping Systems of Southern Brazil
ABSTRACT While studies often focus on increasing yields of individual crops, optimising cropping systems through adjustments in crop type, frequency and timing can also enhance annual production. Extending the soybean sowing period, motivated by the search for higher yield potential and greater cropping system efficiency, complicates the ability of ...

Simulating improved combinations tillage-rotation under dryland conditions
Crop simulation models allow analyzing various tillage-rotation combinations and exploring management scenarios. This study was conducted to test the DSSAT (Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer) modelling system in rainfed semiarid central
