Organic Mulching in Conjunction with Potassium Fertilization Effectively Regulates Soil Temperature and Enhances the Emergence, Physiological Development and Yield Performance of Late Sown Winter Maize (Zea mays L.)

International Journal of Bio-Resource and Stress Management
The experiment was conducted during the rabi season of 2017–18 and 2018–19 to study the ‘effect of organic mulch and potassium fertilization on crop emergence, development, and productivity of maize under low temperature conditions’ at the Instructional

Importance of Soil Quality in Environment Protection [PDF]

, 2007
Soil quality can be characterised by the harmony between it’s physical and biological state and the fertility. From the practical crop production viewpoint, some important contrasting factors of soil quality are: (1) soil looseness – compaction; (2 ...

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 ...

Hop Weed Management Trial [PDF]

, 2015
As the acreage of hops continues to grow in the northeast, there is increasing need for regionally specific agronomic information. The majority of hop production and research is conducted in the Pacific Northwest, a region that has a much drier climate ...

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.

Summer‐dormant, perennial groundcover has minimal effect on plant‐available nutrients and no effect on maize yield

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Conventional agriculture in the US Midwest has accelerated crop productivity but also contributed to undesirable environmental issues. Perennial groundcovers (PGCs), such as cool‐season grasses intercropped in the maize (Zea mays L.) interrow, have the potential to reduce soil erosion rates and mitigate nutrient losses.

Weed control, soil health, and yield tradeoffs of between-bed management strategies in organic plasticulture vegetable production

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Planting a cover crop living mulch between plastic mulch beds in fresh market vegetable production can reduce soil erosion and runoff, and offers an opportunity to grow an income generating cash crop alongside a soil building cover crop.
