Crop and soil responses to 24 years of wheat residue removal and tillage
Abstract Retaining crop residue on agricultural land mitigates soil erosion and conserves nutrients, but its removal generates a valuable commodity for competing uses in agriculture and industry. Understanding long‐term effects of crop residue removal on crop performance and soil condition is essential to guide management decisions regarding ...

Winter biomass potential of four cover crop species: Wheat, rye, triticale, and canola
Abstract This study examines variability in predicted aboveground biomass (AGB) of winter cover crops (CCs) across Nebraska, focusing on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), rye (Secale cereale L.), triticale (× Triticosecale), and canola (Brassica napus L.).

Abstract In semiarid regions, water scarcity limits root‐zone water availability, restricting cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) growth and yield. Although prior studies evaluated drought responses and cultivar variations, interactions between irrigation and cultivar‐specific dynamics—validated through process‐based models—remain underexplored in southwest

Abstract Soil health underpins crop productivity and sustainability, but current soil health assessment frameworks struggle to balance global standardization with regional dynamic ecological realism. Indicators vary widely across soils and climates, often leading to one‐size‐fits‐all thresholds that penalize producers in inherently low‐capacity soils ...

Abstract Accurate estimation of seed yield in perennial grains like Thinopyrum intermedium (intermediate wheatgrass [IWG]) remains a challenge due to high interannual and spatial variability of this important trait. We evaluated the potential of before‐harvest unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)‐derived multispectral vegetation indices to predict IWG seed ...
