Sustainable Development of Rainfed Agriculture

Annals of Arid Zone, 2016
On identifying the rainfed districts in the country with less than 30% dependable irrigation, it was found that as many as 326 of the 631 districts studied were rainfed. Various indicators were studied from the latest data as available between rainfed and irrigated districts under arid, semi-arid and humid climatic regimes.

Variable Rate Irrigation: A Long‐Term Simulated and Field Data Analyses of Irrigation Practices, Field Variability, Economic Feasibility and Profitability

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐term economic analyses of variable rate irrigation (VRI) strategies were performed compared with uniform irrigation management (UIM) in a reference production field using the AquaCrop model. Five strategies to trigger irrigation were as follows: (Field Capacity‐VRI, Driest Soil Trigger‐VRI, Water Mining‐VRI, Conventional Uniform ...

Extreme Climate Events in Morocco: Historical Analysis and Future Projections Based on CMIP6 Simulations

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Historical observations and bias‐corrected CMIP6 projections reveal intensifying warm extremes, declining cold events and increasingly irregular precipitation patterns across Morocco. Future warming, particularly under SSP5‐8.5, produces an almost linear amplification of heat, aridity and hydrological stress, leading to longer droughts and more intense

Effect of bio‐fertilization and edapho‐climatic conditions on chickpea nodulation, grain yields, and seed protein in a Mediterranean context: a meta‐analysis approach

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) serve as a protein‐rich staple, particularly in Mediterranean countries, where they are often grown in marginal and water‐stressed areas. This meta‐analysis synthesized evidence from peer‐reviewed publications across Mediterranean countries to assess how chickpea rhizobial inoculation influences chickpea ...

Is quinoa‐farming sustainable in marginal environments? Social, economical and environmental aspects

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is an Andean grain crop introduced as a novel crop to many parts of the world in recent years. Recognized for nutritious seeds and high abiotic stress tolerance, it has been promoted as an element of climate‐resilient agriculture, particularly in marginal environments.

Improving Digital Mapping of Soil Organic Carbon and Total Nitrogen Through Integration of Sentinel‐1 Backscatter, InSAR Coherence, and Sentinel‐3 OLCI/SLSTR Observations

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The potential of optical satellites for the spatial prediction of soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (STN) has long been recognized. Owing to their balanced spatial–temporal resolution, multisource observational capabilities, and unprecedented availability of free data, Sentinel satellites offer unique opportunities for mapping soil ...
