Management Strategies and Agricultural Calendars for Forage Production in Semi‐Arid Brazil Using AquaCrop

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forage production in semi‐arid regions of Brazil is limited by water deficit. This study aimed to identify the most adapted and efficient production systems and define their agricultural calendars for the semi‐arid region of Brazil. Twenty‐nine production arrangements that included different cropping conditions, plant density, plant cycles ...

Mulching Increases Water Use Efficiency, Production and Profitability in Forage Cactus–Maize Intercropping Systems

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the growth, forage production, soil water balance, water indices, biological efficiency and competitive capacity of forage cactus and maize in monoculture and intercropping, with or without mulch. The experiment was conducted in Serra Talhada, Pernambuco, Brazil, using the cactus clone ‘Orelha de Elefante Mexicana’ (OEM ...

Transcriptome Differential Expression Regulation Analysis of the Narrow-Leaf Mutant of Sorghum Bicolor

Agronomy
Leaf morphology influences photosynthesis, transpiration, and, ultimately, crop yield. To elucidate the molecular regulatory mechanisms underlying narrow leaves in Sorghum bicolor, we identified key DEGs (differentially expressed genes) influencing leaf ...
