Key soil health indicators under humid grazing lands
Grassland Research, EarlyView.Soil health can be described using a few key soil health indicators that target a diversity of soil functions. This perspective article highlights how forage management affects these soil health indicators in humid‐zone grazing lands. Abstract Background Soil health describes critical soil functions influenced by land management. Although some key soil

Journal of Soil Science, 1970 Summary In an experiment on green manuring started at Woburn in 1936, farmyard manure (FYM) was applied in alternate years until 1954 and straw similarly from then until 1963. Various green manures were grown from 1936 to 1953. From 1954 to 1963 ryegrass and trefoil were grown either each year or in alternate years; in 1964 and 1965 ...

Grassland Research, EarlyView.From structure to application: evolutionary insights and genome editing strategies for CENH3‐mediated haploid induction in legumes. Abstract Background The centromeric histone variant CENH3 is crucial for chromosome segregation and haploid induction in plants, yet its evolutionary patterns in legumes remain poorly characterized. Methods We investigated

The Possibility of a Green Revolution in Sub-Saharan Africa: Evidence from Kenya [PDF]
It is widely believed that a Green Revolution similar to the one achieved in Asia is impossible in Sub-Saharan Africa. Although grain yields have been stagnant in this region, there are some signs of the intensification of farming systems in the face of ...
