Economic Analysis of Infrastructure Investment and Break‐Even Carbon Prices for Low‐Water, Low‐Emission Farming Techniques in Vietnam

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Excessive water use in rice production is a major source of methane emissions, the dominant greenhouse gas from Vietnam's agricultural sector. Improving water‐use efficiency can enhance water security and reduce emissions, but achieving these gains requires substantial changes in farming practices and significant investment in supporting ...

INFRASTRUCTURAL CONCEALMENT: Everyday Festival Economies and Riverine Ecologies in Kolkata

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban infrastructures are often celebrated within marketized development logics for their promise of equitable access while concealing ecological harm. This article examines whether and how ecological degradation is integral to infrastructural modernization, showing how infrastructures that promise improvement and inclusion simultaneously ...

Reallocation Effects of Internalizing Externalities: Evidence From China's Straw Burning Ban

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the reallocation effects of a typical environmental policy aiming to internalize externalities: the straw burning ban across China. The ban prohibited the traditional farming practice of burning straw while compelling the labour‐intensive practice of straw utilization.

The Late Agricultural Development of Central Arabian Oases—Archaeobotanical and Archaeozoological Studies of the al‐Kharj Oasis

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While oasis settlements emerged during the Bronze Age in Eastern and Northern Arabia, the settlement process in Central Arabia was different. Excavations at al‐Yamāma—main ancient settlement of the al‐Kharj oasis (Riyadh Province, KSA)—suggest that the latter did not emerge before the second half of the first millennium BCE.

Hydromulches in Organic Strawberry Production: Effects on Densities of Insect Pests and Natural Enemies

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Liquid‐sprayable cellulose hydromulches (HM) are alternatives to plastic polyethylene (PE) mulches for weed suppression in organic agriculture. However, their impact on arthropod pests and natural enemies remains unexplored. Various HMs made of shredded newsprint, water and guar gum were compared against white‐on‐black PE mulch, paper sheet ...

Rice Straw as Growth Substrate for Soilless Sod Production

Agriculture
Rice straw as a growth substrate for soilless sod production not only avoids the damage to farmland soil deterioration but also solves the difficulty in disposing of a large amount of agricultural straw waste.

Fixing Rice Stubble Burning for Delhi's Air: Technological Solutionism and Agrarian Governance in Haryana

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Every winter, Delhi's polluted air draws national attention to the burning of rice stubble in neighbouring states. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Haryana in north India, this article shows how bureaucrats and scientists attempt to enact certainty around technological solutions to stubble burning even while privately acknowledging their ...

Legacy hexaconazole and tricyclazole residues hinder organic transition in paddy rice cultivation

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 2, December 2026.
Hexaconazole and tricyclazole residues persisted in paddy soil throughout the three consecutive growing seasons after a single foliar application. These findings, combined with potential animal feed risks from contaminated rice straw, indicate that the current 2‐year organic transitional period is insufficient, necessitating extended conversion periods

Livelihood Heterogeneity and Adoption of Combine Harvesters Under Flood Risk: Evidence From the Wetland Areas of Bangladesh

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
Livelihood heterogeneity explains uneven combine harvester adoption in haor wetlands. PCA–cluster analysis identifies four farmer typologies shaping mechanization pathways. Adoption is highest among educated and networked land‐rich farmers, lowest among traditionalists.
