Modeling maize growth and development in temperate and tropical agro‐climatic systems using MAIZSIM

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract MAIZSIM is a mechanistic maize (Zea mays L.) crop model with a two‐dimensional finite element‐based soil simulator, known for its detailed process‐based representation and minimal calibration requirements. While the model has been extensively applied in temperate agro‐climatic systems, its use in tropical areas has not been explored.

Installation, repair, retrieval, and economic returns of S3DI systems in corn and cotton rotations

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract The use of shallow subsurface drip irrigation (S3DI) systems in row crops can be economically favorable, provided the system remains in the field without major repairs for a substantial period. This research documents installation, repairs, retrieval, and partial economic returns of S3DI systems in service for 4, 5, 6, and 8 years.

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.

Building Resilience: Empowering Agro‐Pastoralists Against Climate Variability in Laikipia, Kenya

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 1, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses significant challenges for agricultural systems in Africa, particularly affecting agro‐pastoral communities dependent on crops and livestock for their livelihoods. This study investigates the impact of adaptation strategies on climate resilience among agro‐pastoral communities in Laikipia County, Kenya. It applies the Food
