Can perennials plants be used to improve soil health in drought affected Mediterranean regions?
Soil SecurityWith climate change, drought is expected to intensify in Mediterranean areas, calling for crop system adaptations. Cultivation of perennial grains could address these issues due to permanent cover and ability to enhance soil health while increasing ...

Crop and Economical Water Productivity of Wheat at Perennial and Non-Perennial Canals in Sindh
Qlantic Journal of Social Sciences and HumanitiesThe freshwater resources are under immense pressure to provide water and food security. New climate change projections for current and future water availability suggest that farmers and policymakers must move from traditional per-acre crop yield measurement to crop and economics water productivity.

Aggressiveness of Stagonospora nodorum Isolates from Perennial Grasses on Wheat [PDF]
Plant Disease, 1997 Isolates of Stagonospora nodorum from 13 perennial grasses were tested on detached wheat leaves. Grass isolates that were consistently associated with large or small lesions were statistically differentiated. Some grass isolates were detected that were associated with large lesions on wheat (high symptom severity), but most isolates produced small ...

Rotation, Mulch and Zero Tillage Reduce Weeds in a Long-Term Conservation Agriculture Trial
Agronomy, 2020 Weed management is one of the main challenges of conservation agriculture. Although all three components of conservation agriculture (minimal tillage, permanent soil cover and crop diversification) can reduce weed populations, these effects may only ...
