Forage seeding in rangelands increases production and prevents weed invasion

open access: yesCalifornia Agriculture, 2017
Increasing forage productivity in the Sierra foothill rangelands would help sustain the livestock industry as land availability shrinks and lease rates rise, but hardly any studies have been done on forage selections.

Modelling of Cowpea Response to Varying Irrigation and SAP Levels Under Greenhouse Conditions Using AquaCrop

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Irrigation water management is key to promoting resilient crop production amidst the increasing effects of climate change. Super absorbent polymer (SAP) is an innovative technology for conserving irrigation water within arid and semi‐arid lands (ASALs). AquaCrop, a water productivity model, has been used for irrigation water management.

Adaptation of seedbed preparation for spring cereals to unfavourably high soil moisture conditions in loam soil

open access: yesActa Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2019
In the future, increased precipitation in spring may force Scandinavian farmers to prepare their cereal seedbeds under conditions with excessive soil moisture, and thereby risk soil compaction, oxygen deficiency and yield loss. To adapt to climate change

Deficit Irrigation and Soil Amendment as Drought Adaptation Strategies: Water Use Efficiency in Pot Experiments With Wheat

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amidst climate change and recurring droughts, increasing irrigation water amount and frequency alone is not a definitive solution to address water scarcity in agricultural crop production, particularly in soils with poor water retention capacity. This study evaluated the effects of two drought adaptation strategies (deficit irrigation and soil

Concurrent Response of Soybean to Fixed (Full and Limited) and Variable Rate Irrigation Management in Three Soil Types: II. Growth, Yield, Evapotranspiration and Water Productivity

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soybean growth, yield, crop evapotranspiration (ETc) and crop water use efficiency (CWUE or crop water productivity, CWP) under different irrigation levels in three different soil types in the same field were investigated concurrently. Treatments in each soil type were: (i) variable rate irrigation (VRI), (ii) fixed rate full irrigation (FR‐1″)
