Soil Property Responses to Push‐Pull Cropping in East Africa

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Push‐pull technology is increasingly promoted in sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly for pest management and enhancing crop productivity. However, its influence on soil properties remains understudied, despite its potential implications for soil health and sustainable soil fertility management. This study examines soil properties in push‐pull and

Flood Risk Management Using Representative Hillslopes: Insights From a Historical Flood in Southwest Germany

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2026.
A coupled hydrologic and hydraulic modelling framework relying on representative hillslope models and scaled using hydraulic routing schemes is proposed to simulate Hortonian overland flow at intermediate scales. Using a reconstructed historic summer storm in southwest Germany (1994), we show how hillslope scale nature‐based flood prevention measures ...

EFFECTS OF LEGUME COVER CROP AND SUB-SOILING ON SOIL PROPERTIES AND MAIZE (ZEA MAYS L) GROWTH IN SEMI ARID AREA OF MACHAKOS DISTRICT, KENYA

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2010
Low crop yields in the semi arid areas of Kenya have been attributed to, among other factors, low soil fertility, low farm inputs, labour constraints and inappropriate tillage practices that lead to pulverized soils.

Spatial Layout of Trees on Farms Influences Magnitude and Timing of River Flow Peak

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2026.
Effectiveness of agroforestry as a lowland NFM strategy is spatially modelled for a range of planting layouts. Peak flow for a 10‐year storm was attenuated by 2.6% and delayed by 19 min with just 0.6% catchment tree coverage under riparian planting alone. Increasing coverage provided a strongly diminishing return in flood peak attenuation.

Design and Optimization of a Contour Deep Loosening and Stubble Pressing Mechanism Suitable for Strip Tillage

Applied Sciences
Aiming at the problems of excessive soil disturbance caused by deep plowing and stripped straw backfilling in strip tillage machinery, which are induced by the large amount of residual straw before maize sowing in the Huang-Huai-Hai Region, an integrated

The potential benefit of improving the dissemination of agricultural weather information to the Mississippi cotton farmer [PDF]

The author has identified the following significant results. The potential benefit of improved dissemination of weather information to the Mississippi cotton farmer was estimated at $36,000 per 1000 acres. This is 16% of production cost of cotton in 1976.

An assessment of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes under saline and waterlogged compacted soil conditions, II: leaf ion concentrations [PDF]

, 2013
A pot experiment was conducted to study effects of salinity and waterlogging under soil compaction conditions on grain yield and yield components of wheat. Treatments were arranged in a factorial layout assigned to a randomized complete design with three

Stemflows and Preferential Flows: A Historical Review and Challenges for the Future

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2026.
Possible implementation of stemflow in the MIPS model where all water in the system is represented as particles in pathways of specified velocity. Stemflow (green particles) can be treated as a localised input with probabilities of entering higher velocity pathways than throughfall, depending on the input rates.

Significance of Sewage Sludge Amendments to Borrow Pit Reclamation With Sweetgum and Fescue [PDF]

, 1985
Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua L.) and fescue (Festuca arundinocea Schreb.) were planted after subsolling and sludge applications to depths of 0, 0. 64, 1.27, and 2.54 em to reclaim a borrow pit In the Lower Piedmont of South Carolina.
