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

open access: yesIrrigation 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 ...

Evaluation of CERES‐Maize Model for Predicting Yield, Evapotranspiration, Water Productivity and Drought Stress Indices Under Center Pivot, Subsurface Drip and Furrow Irrigation Systems With Different Irrigation Levels Simultaneously

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The effects of different irrigation methods (center pivot [CPI], subsurface drip [SDI] and furrow irrigation [FI]) and levels (full irrigation treatment [FIT], 80% FIT, 60% FIT and rainfed) on yield, crop evapotranspiration (ETc), ET‐water productivity (WPET) and drought stress index for leaf expansion (SIE) and photosynthesis (SIP) of maize ...

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

open access: yesIrrigation 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 ...

The Art of Reception: Field Visits as Microcosms for Development Interventions of Non‐Governmental Organisations in Uganda

open access: yesJournal of International Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Field visits are common phenomena with non‐governmental organisations in Uganda. During these visits, Ugandan national staff guide visitors on series of meetings and interactions in the field. Following an actor‐oriented approach and drawing on ethnographic data on 14 field visits, this paper understands the field visit as a microcosm for the ...

The relationship between infant feeding types, gut microbiome, intestinal inflammation, and neurodevelopment in a neonatal piglet model

open access: yesJournal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The influences of nutrition on the infant's developing gastrointestinal (GI) microbiome, intestinal tract, and brain is unclear. Human milk (HM) is associated with beneficial immune and cognitive development compared with infant formula (IF).

Enteral and intravenous supplementation of arginine and citrulline fail to prevent necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm neonatal pigs

open access: yesJournal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most common gastrointestinal emergency in preterm infants with a morality rate that approaches 50%. Arginine has been widely studied in the field of clinical nutrition as a supplement for patients experiencing critical illness because it can be metabolized into nitric oxide, an important agent ...
