Biochar addition coupled with nitrogen fertilization impacts on soil quality, crop productivity, and nitrogen uptake under double‐cropping system

Food and Energy Security, 2020
Biochar and inorganic fertilizer when co‐applied have been reported to increase crop yield and enhance soil fertility. However, studies on this complementary effect on soil properties and noodle rice performance in China are still scanty.

Influence of balanced fertilization on productivity and nutrient use efficiency of cereal based cropping systems

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2014
Increasing the use efficiency of nitrogen in system mode was always a concern due to escalating input cost of fertilizer. The “researcher designed farmer managed trials” were conducted in farmers’ field during 2009 -10 at 27 districts covering 17 states.

Issues in farming systems research.

Netherlands Journal of Agricultural Science, 1984
There is growing concern about the gap between maximum yields obtained in research stations and actual farmers' yields. Farming systems research (FSR) aims to study the production constraints of small farmers in the Third World outside the research station with a view to developing technologies that fit their needs.
