Effect of sowing depth and mulching types on soil water storage at different growth stages of chickpea under rainfed farming [PDF]
پژوهشهای حبوبات ایران, 2016 Introduction In dry areas, water is the limiting factor in improving agricultural production. Saving the annual precipitation in the soil is very effective in dryland farming. The amount of rainfall that infiltrates the soil depends on the amount of soil

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Furrow tillage resolves the conventional‐vs.‐no‐tillage trade‐off by simultaneously cutting CO2 efflux to 2.0–3.0 g C m−2 d−1 and unlocking high nutrient availability for the rice rhizosphere. This scalable agronomic solution strengthens soil health, enhances plant physiology, reshapes microbial metabolism, and shifts paddy systems toward a net ...

PLOS ONE, 2017 In recent years, North American prairie vegetation has served as a design model for highly attractive, low-cost and low-maintenance plantings in German urban green spaces. Where mixed-planting techniques, gravel mulch toppings and non-selective maintenance techniques such as mowing are used, prairie plantings are considered to be cost-effective ...

Productivity and Emissions in Italian Agriculture: A Farm‐Level Efficiency Analysis
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Achieving the European Union climate‐neutrality objectives requires metrics that jointly assess farm productivity and greenhouse gas emissions at a granular level. However, harmonized evidence for benchmarking the productivity–emissions nexus of Italian farms remains limited.
