Abstract Sustainable agriculture intensification is an urgent challenge in developing countries including Tanzania. One potential solution is to adopt farming systems that increase farm production by optimizing resource use efficiency, and integrated aquaculture system, which involves farming of fish and crops, is an example of such systems.

Optimizing maize–bean cropping systems for sustainable intensification in southern Ethiopia
Abstract Declining productivity and scarcity of cultivable land in smallholder systems call for exploring sustainable intensification options to increase productivity. Field experiments were conducted at five sites (Sites 1–5) of the Sidama region, southern Ethiopia, in 2018 and 2019 to determine the effects of cropping systems on maize (Zea mays L ...

Cover crops affect soybean yield components, but not grain quality
Abstract Cover cropping is mainly used to prevent soil erosion, but the effects of individual cover crops on the subsequent soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] are hardly known. Therefore, two annual field trials with 15 cover crop species and bare fallow as control were conducted in semi‐arid East Austria in 2016 and 2017.

Interactive soybean variable‐rate seeding simulator for farmers
Abstract Seed expense is a critical component affecting soybean (Glycine max L.) production cost. Achieving potential benefits of adjusting seeding rates by yield environment requires translation from theory to practice through decision support tools.

Maize–soybean intercropping: A bibliometric analysis of 30 years of research publications
Abstract Maize (Zea may L.)–soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] intercropping is popular in many countries because of its high productivity. However, no studies have explored maize–soybean intercropping via bibliometric methods. Taking the Web of Science database, the visualization applications of CiteSpace and VOSviewer were used to visually analyze the ...

Comparison of plant proximal sensing approaches for nitrogen supply detection in crops
Abstract Nondestructive proximal sensors can be an efficient source of information of N status in crops for localized and rapid adjustment of fertilization applications. The aim of this study was to compare two transmittance/reflectance‐based sensors (SPAD, ASD) and a florescence‐based sensor (Multiplex) in their ability to measure N content in corn ...

Downy mildew resistance and genetic variability in a wild rocket germplasm collection
Abstract One hundred accessions of a “core collection” of Diplotaxis tenuifolia (L.) DC. and Eruca spp. were screened at seedling stage for resistance to downy mildew. Accessions tested at the seedling stage were assigned to 0–6 interaction phenotypes.

Yield estimation of summer maize based on multi‐source remote‐sensing data
Abstract Accurately estimating regional‐scale crop yields is substantial in determining current agricultural production performance and effective agricultural land management. The Yuncheng Basin is an important grain‐producing area in the Shanxi Province. This paper used Sentinel 2A with a spatial resolution of 10 m and MODIS with a temporal resolution

Abstract Bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] is one of the most widely cultivated turfgrass species throughout the world. It has several important attributes, such as heat and drought tolerance, and one big disadvantage, which is susceptibility to cold temperatures.

Cropping system diversity and tillage intensity affects wheat productivity in Texas
Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in Texas depends heavily on conventional tillage (CT) and a long summer fallow period, which contributes to soil degradation. This study compared the impact of reducing tillage intensity (CT, no‐tillage, and strip‐tillage) combined with summer cropping to CT–summer fallow on wheat establishment, grain ...
