The Crop Feeding Behavior of Rhesus Macaques in a Forest‐Farm Mosaic in Central Nepal: Implications for Human–Wildlife Coexistence [PDF]

Am J Primatol
Rhesus macaques in Nepal fed on crops for a longer duration and caused more crop damage when the foraging party was larger. Farmer interventions failed to reduce the duration of crop feeding and the amount of crop damage. ABSTRACT Human‐driven habitat change is forcing nonhuman primates to exploit anthropogenic landscapes, resulting in primate crop ...

Determining site‐specific optimal seeding rate in soybean using on‐farm experimentation

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Abstract Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seeding rate is typically set uniformly across entire fields, overlooking within‐field variability. On‐farm experimentation (OFE), combined with precision agriculture (PA) tools, can help determine optimal seeding rates across different areas of a field, generating data that support variable seeding rate ...
