Increased Food and Ecosystem Security via Perennial Grains

Science, 2010
Perennial grains hold promise, especially for marginal landscapes or with limited resources where annual versions struggle.

Review and analysis of technologies for harvesting perennial grain crops

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
Abstract In agriculture, according to the data of the statistical collection, the production of grain crops occupies a large part. At the moment, much attention is paid to the study of perennial crops such as Thinopyrum intermedium and Trititrigia cziczinii Tsvelev.

Agronomic characteristics and yield of organic maize straw intercropped with perennial green manures

Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2016
Maize intercropped with perennial green manure is an option to promote soil coverage, control weeds and recycle soil nutrients, in an organic system. This study aimed at evaluating the agronomic characteristics and yield of grains and organic maize straw

LONG TERM EFFECTS OF SOIL SOLARIZATION, BIO- AND ORGANIC FERTILIZERS ON SEQUENCE MAIZE CROP [PDF]

Journal of Agricultural Chemistry and Biotechnology, 2006
Dun'ng two successive seasons (2003 and 2004). field experiments were carried out to determine the long-term effects of soil solarization with application of organic and bio-fertilizers on maize (Zea mays L.) grown after faba bean. The results showed that

Rhizodeposition Drives One Third of Belowground Carbon Input in Agroecosystems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study quantifies photosynthesized C allocation in the plant–soil system across six crop types: barley, wheat, maize, rice, legumes and grasses. It reports C partitioning into shoot respiration, shoot‐C, root‐C, net rhizodeposition and root‐derived CO2, providing standardized percentage averages and GPP‐derived absolute values as a robust baseline ...

Integrating Perennial Groundcover in Corn and Soybean Acres: Impacts on U.S. Agriculture

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable agricultural practices such as cover cropping can improve soil health, water quality, and carbon sequestration, yet U.S. adoption remains limited due to economic and operational barriers. We evaluate market and economic impacts of integrating perennial groundcover into U.S.

Ex‐Ante Assessment of Farm Resilience to Institutional Shocks: A Modeling Approach

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using the agent‐based model SWISSland, we simulate farm‐level responses and interactions under two institutional shocks: tariff reductions and direct payment reductions. Using a framework we developed, we assess resilience capacities, resilience attributes, and the provision of private and public goods, following the shock.

Strategies, Advances, and Challenges in Breeding Perennial Grain Crops [PDF]

Sustainability, 2018
The development of new perennial crop species is gaining momentum as a promising approach to change the fundamental nature of ecosystem processes in agriculture. The ecological argument for perennial crops grown in polycultures is strong, but until recently, perennial herbaceous grain crops have been absent from agricultural landscape.

Agronomic and Nutritional Perspectives on Vegetable Crops in Africa

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
Vegetable production plays a key role in food security, nutrition, and livelihoods across Africa. Moreover, African indigenous vegetables emerge as underutilized yet highly valuable crops, rich in macro‐ and micronutrients, as well as bioactive compounds with an array of health benefits.
