Versatile multi-crop planter for two-wheel tractors: an innovative option for smallholders [PDF]
, 2011 The rapid spread of mechanisation on small farms in Asia has not yet led to the development of a range of low-cost planters for two-wheel tractors (2-WT) that can be used for minimum tillage (Baker et al., 2002).

SiDT1 Defines Plant Architecture Reminiscent of Green Revolution in Foxtail Millet
Advanced Science, EarlyView.SiDT1 encodes a GA3‐oxidase that creates a semi‐dwarf, lodging‐resistant architecture reminiscent of the rice Green Revolution. The resulting ideotype performs well under dense planting and provides a valuable genetic resource for high‐yield, mechanized foxtail millet production. ABSTRACT Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is a drought‐tolerant C4 cereal

Cation Diffusion‐Mediated Displaced Reaction‐Transformation in Green Steelmaking
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The removal of O lattice atoms by environmental H2 at the surface of Fe3O4 results in Fe enrichment, driving the inward diffusion of Fe cations into the bulk. Through hopping between unoccupied and initially occupied sites, cation diffusion triggers a spatially displaced reaction‐transformation and drives subsequent dynamic phase transformations and ...

The efficiency of continuous application of minimum soil tillage methods in crop rotations
Аграрная наука Евро-Северо-Востока, 2018 The studies were conducted in 2006...2017 on gray forest soils of the Chuvash Republic in two crop rotations (grain-crop and grain-crop green manure). The effectiveness of minimum methods of tillage (1st minimum - KOS-3.0 to a depth of 16 cm; 2nd minimum

Minimum Tillage Vegetable Crop Production in California [PDF]
, 2004 Author(s): Mitchell, Jeffrey; Jackson, Louise; Miyao, Gene | Abstract: Tillage operations in vegetable production represent time, energy, equipment, and labor costs that can comprise more than 25% of preharvest production expenses. Reduced-tillage, or minimum-tillage, production systems for vegetables have been developed to control costs and optimize ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A cytokinin pathway transcription factor, RR2b, was artificially selected during soybean domestication and improvement based on its differential transcriptional activity, which correlates with ATT repeat polymorphisms in its promoter. RR2b balances yield and defense by fine‐tuning its expression level and offers a promising target for decoupling trade ...

THE SUBSIDY FOR ADOPTING CONSERVATION TILLAGE: ESTIMATION FROM OBSERVED BEHAVIOR [PDF]
Due to payoff uncertainties combined with risk aversion and/or real options, farmers may demand a premium in order to adopt conservation tillage practices, over and above the compensation for the expected profit losses (if any).
