Tillage intensity and cover crop affect yield, energy efficiency, and sustainability of rainfed finger millet and pigeon pea cropping system in semiarid tropics

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Little is known about the sustainability of an intercropping system comprising finger millet (Eleusine coracana) and pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan). We therefore sowed both cover crops and the above crops over 3 years in a seed mix of 8:2 by weight to assess their effects on soil properties, yield potential, and energy‐use efficiency.

Multi‐nutrient omission trials for yield optimization: Diagnosing yield‐limiting nutrients for onion (Allium cepa L.) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) under irrigation conditions in Raya Kobo District, Eastern Ethiopia

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Knowing the most yield‐limiting soil nutrient is crucial for closing the yield gap in all crop production systems. The proper supply of balanced nutrients is essential for maximizing the production of onions and tomatoes. The study was conducted to determine the response of onion and tomato to the omission of different nutrients in their ...

Selection of suitable additives for seed pelletizing to enhance germination and growth of Onobrychis viciifolia in restoration of semi‐arid degraded rangelands

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Despite direct seeding, seed pelletizing with useful materials is one of the effective methods to improve plant growth. This experiment assessed the impacts of different additives used in seed pelletizing on germination and growth of Onobrychis viciifolia at a degraded semi‐arid rangeland.

Response of soil characteristics and N2O emissions to fertilizer reduction strategies in highland summer vegetable production

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract In recent years, the escalating application of nitrogen fertilizers in global vegetable production has positioned vegetable fields as significant sources of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, eliciting widespread environmental concern. However, the interrelationships among fertilizer reduction gradients, soil physicochemical properties, microbial ...

Straw mulching alters the composition and loss of dissolved organic matter in farmland surface runoff by inhibiting the fragmentation of soil small macroaggregates

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
Straw mulching is a widespread practice for reducing the soil carbon loss caused by erosion. However, the effects of straw mulching on dissolved organic matter (DOM) runoff loss from black soil are not well studied.

Chapter 6. Mulching

EDIS, 2006
Polyethylene mulch has been used for commercial vegetable production in Florida for more than 30 years (Fig. 6-1). There are approximately 70,000 acres of mulched vegetables in Florida, ranking it near the top in the U.S. for this production method. Almost all of the tomato and strawberry production is on mulch.

Deep bed farming with maize–soybean intercropping improves maize yield and soil fertility in northern Malawi

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract In sub‐Saharan Africa smallholder farmers face challenges of declining soil fertility, erratic rainfall, low crop yields, and food insecurity. Deep bed farming (DBF), a conservation agriculture‐based approach promoted by Tiyeni in Malawi, shows potential to address these issues.

Ineffectiveness of foliar nutrient sprays on cotton lint yield after riverine flooding

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Irrigated Australian cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is primarily produced on Vertosols, which are susceptible to waterlogging due to their highwater retention capacity and poor drainage. Waterlogging inhibits root growth and depletes soil oxygen, resulting in changes to soil pH, redox, and nutrient availability. Australian cotton farmers often
