Agronomic Performance and Water Use Indicators of Cactus Species Widely Cultivated in Semiarid Regions

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the agronomic performance, crop evapotranspiration (ETc), crop coefficients (Kc, Kcb and Ke) and yield response factor (Ky) of three forage cactus clones—Orelha de Elefante Mexicana (OEM), Miúda (MIU) and IPA Sertânia (IPA)—grown in a semiarid environment.

Development and Testing of a Low‐Cost Soil Moisture Sensor for Real‐Time Irrigation Scheduling

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effective irrigation scheduling is essential for improved water management in irrigated areas, with soil moisture monitoring recognized as one of the most effective methods. However, challenges such as the high cost of sensors and the difficulties in monitoring large areas hinder their practical application, particularly for smallholder ...

Pesticide runoff from conventional tillage, minimum tillage, and no‐tillage cropping systems: Meta‐analysis of published North American data

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Pesticide applications may soon be regulated by laws predicated on the presupposition that reducing tillage, and thereby increasing soil surface crop residue cover, decreases sorbed and soluble agrochemical losses in surface runoff and erosion.

Evaluating the potential for snowmelt phosphorus losses from perennial forage crops

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract In cold regions, there is concern that losses of P with snowmelt runoff following freeze and thaw of vegetation may be greater from perennial forages relative to annual crops. We evaluate the drivers of P losses with snowmelt runoff over a network of field‐scale small watersheds in Manitoba, Canada, following annual crops (59 site‐years ...

Integrating livestock and cropping systems: Interseeding cereal rye into corn for grazing

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Interseeding annual forages into growing corn may be an alternative for both cover and grazing in temperate regions of the United States. A 4‐year experiment evaluated the effect of interseeding cereal rye (Secale cereale) into corn for grazing after harvest on corn grain, forage biomass yield and quality, soil health, and estimated spatial ...

Non-chemical weed management: Harnessing flame weeding for effective weed control

open access: yesHeliyon
The goal of the current study was to create and assess the effectiveness of a hand-pulled ergonomically designed flame weeder. The developed weeder was tested in the field at three operating pressures (20, 30 and 40 Psi) and forward speeds (1.00, 1.25 and 1.50 km/h) to study their effects on plant damage, survival rates, weight preservation rates, weed
