Atmospheric Water Harvesting Through Polymer Hydrogel Sorbents: Materials Chemistry, Design Strategies, and Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Polymer‐based hydrogels have emerged as promising materials for atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) due to their high water affinity, tunable network structure, and excellent moisture adsorption‐desorption performance. Functional hydrogel systems enable efficient water capture and controlled release under low‐energy conditions, offering a sustainable ...

Assessing Government Subsidies for Reducing Pesticide Use: A Meta‐Analysis

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the efforts being made by governments to reduce pesticide use, subsidies are an important instrument to encourage farmers to adopt more sustainable practices. Yet, their effectiveness remains uncertain due to diverse designs and contexts.

Growth Parameters, Yield and Grain Quality of Different Winter Wheat Cultivars Using Strip Tillage in Relation to the Intensity of Post-Harvest Soil Cultivation

Agriculture
The research has been undertaken to determine whether it is worthwhile to do a post-tillage on stubble before applying strip-till or whether tillage operations such as tillage and stubble ploughing should be performed. Therefore, ploughed tillage + strip

Conservation agriculture practices in a peanut cropping system: Effects on pod yield and soil penetration resistance

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2023
Conservation agriculture principles applied to peanut can reduce soil erosion and production costs when cultivated in rotation with sugarcane. Still, the problem with soil compaction is the leading cause of skepticism about the efficacy of this practice.

Design of Strip Tiller for Conservation Tillage

Journal of Life Sciences and Agriculture
In order to meet the agronomic requirements of implementing conservation tillage and dual-row planting for maize, a strip-tillage machine specifically designed for conservation tillage was developed in this study. The structure and operating parameters of the strip-tillage machine were determined through the specific design of transmission ratio, row ...

Improving access to new technologies: An experiment with Kenyan input sellers

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Agrodealers play a critical role in rural economies, selling essential inputs for agricultural production, stocking new products, and providing farmers with technical advice. However, uncertainty can discourage them from stocking newer, less familiar products, limiting the availability of innovative technologies and leading to market failures ...

Strip Tillage and No Tillage with Integrated Agronomic Practices Improve Maize Yield and Modulate Humus Fractions and Humic Acid Molecular Properties in Sloping Farmlands of Northeast China

Agriculture
Conventional ridge tillage has triggered severe soil organic carbon depletion and soil erosion in sloping maize fields of humid northeast China, posing a persistent threat to black soil health and regional grain security.

The Effect of Shallow Tillage on Soil Erosion in a Semi-Arid Vineyard

Agronomy, 2019
Soil erosion has been considered a threat for semi-arid lands due to the removal of solid materials by water and wind. Although water erosion is currently considered the most important process of soil degradation, a growing interest has been drawn to the

Lime Rate in Clayey Soils Influences Chemical Fertility and Sugarcane Yield

Plants, 2022
Liming contributes to the alleviation of acidity in highly weathered soils. For sugarcane, the use of green harvest methods and new soil tillage systems requires an adjustment of lime application rates. In the present study, the effects of different lime
