Morphological plasticity of root growth under mild water stress increases water use efficiency without reducing yield in maize [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2017
A large yield gap exists in rain-fed maize (Zea mays L.) production in semi-arid regions, mainly caused by frequent droughts halfway through the crop-growing period due to uneven distribution of rainfall.

Irrigation and Nitrogen Fertilization Alter Soil Bacterial Communities, Soil Enzyme Activities, and Nutrient Availability in Maize Crop

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Irrigation and nitrogen (N) fertilization rates are widely used to increase crop growth and yield and promote the sustainable production of the maize crop. However, our understanding of irrigation and N fertilization in the soil microenvironment is still

Long-Term Corn–Soybean Rotation and Soil Fertilization: Impacts on Yield and Agronomic Traits

Agronomy, 2022
Although crop rotations have been widely shown as an effective approach for improving yield or soil quality in the long term, the relationship between crop rotations and quality traits of crop or biochar-based fertilization is still unclear.

No-tillage, Strip Tillage, Chisel Plow Tillage Trial

, 2012
Materials and Methods This trial was conducted in 2011 with the strip-tillage and chisel plow tillage being applied in the falls of 2010 and 2011. In both the strip-tillage and chisel plow treatments, 200 lb N/acre was applied as anhydrous ammonia at the same time as tillage.
