2006 OUTLOOK OF THE U.S. AND WORLD WHEAT INDUSTRIES, 2005-2015 [PDF]
This report evaluates the U.S. and world wheat markets for the 2005-2015 period using the Global Wheat Policy Simulation Model. This analysis is based on a series of assumptions about general economic conditions, agricultural policies, weather conditions,

Is durum wheat-winter pea intercropping efficient to improve the use of N in low input farming ? [PDF]
Nitrogen acquisition and grain protein concentration (GPC) of durum wheat is often a major concern, particularly in low input systems where mineral N is a limited resource.

Abstract Irrigation plays a critical role in stabilizing agricultural productivity under increasing climatic variability. However, the intensification of droughts and extreme weather events is revealing the vulnerability of irrigation systems, particularly due to mismatches between peak water needs and natural water availability.

Sunflower under conventional and organic farming systems: results from a long term experiment in Central Italy [PDF]
Sunflower productivity under organic and conventional agricultural systems was studied between 2002 and 2004 in the frame of the MASCOT experiment (Mediterranean Arable Systems COmparison Trial), established in 2001.

ABSTRACT Ergot alkaloids (EAs), toxic secondary metabolites produced by Claviceps purpurea, pose food and feed safety concerns for cereal grains, particularly rye and wheat. While EAs are most frequently associated with rye, their occurrence in other cereals has been increasingly reported across diverse regions.

Efficiency of Spatial Subsidies Under Information Constraints: A Case Study
ABSTRACT This study compares the efficiency of homogeneous versus spatially heterogeneous subsidies in developing agricultural plans compatible with bird sustainability. Using the plains of Lleida as a case study—where incentives for agricultural intensification threaten a bird community‐we employ a spatially explicit model that simulates crop yields ...

Abstract This paper explores the relationship between wetland ecosystems and prehistoric lakeshore settlements within the Lake Ohrid basin (a biodiversity hotspot) by considering plant food systems at Ploča Mičov Grad, North Macedonia. The mid‐fifth millennium (c.4555–4373 to 4437–4241 cal BCE) waterlogged assemblage contained a diverse spectrum of ...

ABSTRACT Terminal drought is a primary constraint to wheat production in Mediterranean environments, often severely reducing grain weight and quality. This study evaluated the physiological contribution of awns to yield formation, water use efficiency (WUE), and grain quality traits in bread wheat [Triticum aestivum L.] and durum wheat [Triticum ...
