Abstract Intercropping of cereals with legumes is a well‐established strategy for maximizing yield, but its effectiveness in water‐use efficiency (WUE) is not well recognized. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of manure and maize‐soybean intercropping on ammonia (NH3) volatilization, yield, and WUE.

Abstract In the US Midwest, liquid manure is most commonly applied on bare soil after fall crop harvest, increasing the risk of nutrient loss during winter and early spring. Applying manure as a side‐dress into standing corn (Zea mays L.) using tankers or soft drag hose systems can better match seasonal plant N uptake, but producers need evidence that ...

GIS–TOPSIS assessment of soil and water constraints on sunflower in arid Algeria
Abstract Identifying land capable of sustaining oilseed crops under increasing aridity is central to strengthening agricultural resilience in North African drylands. We developed a statistically validated, spatially explicit land‑suitability framework that integrates geographic information systems (GIS) with the technique for order preference by ...

A bibliometric review of global meta‐analysis studies in agricultural research
Abstract Meta‐analysis has been increasingly applied to synthesize existing evidence in agricultural research; however, its application is often challenged by agroecological heterogeneity, diverse management practices, and inconsistent reporting standards.

Abstract The search for alternative and sustainable energy sources becomes urgent as energy demand increases and fossil fuels become less available, especially in water‐scarce regions such as the Brazilian semi‐arid region, where current projections of global warming and the expansion of arid and semi‐arid zones point to a future of desertification ...
