ABSTRACT Every winter, Delhi's polluted air draws national attention to the burning of rice stubble in neighbouring states. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Haryana in north India, this article shows how bureaucrats and scientists attempt to enact certainty around technological solutions to stubble burning even while privately acknowledging their ...

Oat–Sesbania Rotation Boosts Oat Yield and Profit via Soil Nutrient Buildup and Dual Harvest
Under the oat–Sesbania rotation system, soil nutrient accumulation serves as a key driver of increased oat yield and quality, with benefits tending to intensify over successive rotational years. Green manure incorporation of Sesbania promotes soil and crop improvement, whereas forage harvesting of Sesbania attains comparable agronomic outcomes while ...

Abstract Multispectral three‐dimensional (3D) imaging offers substantial potential for plant phenotyping, yet manual segmentation of plant organs remains a bottleneck in breeding programs. We developed a color‐based filtering workflow for faba bean (Vicia faba L.) point clouds that optimizes lower and upper thresholds of spectral indices and broadband ...

ABSTRACT The spatial distribution of economic activities is central to regional economics. However, empirical tools for comparing industries based on the similarity of their spatial distributions remain limited. Traditional cluster analysis typically ignores geographical distance and connectivity, while spatial methods focus on clustering places rather

An investigation into wheat straw paper
Wheat paper made from discarded wheat straw has become a viable option and alternative that rivals 30% PCW paper in today’s society that is focused on sustainability. In an attempt to improve the sustainability of UBC, wheat paper is to be considered.

Impact of simulated drought and cover crop mixtures on subsequent spring wheat yield
Abstract Cover crops (CCs) are promoted as a mechanism for reducing soil erosion, enhancing soil fertility, and improving diversity in agricultural systems, but in drier climates, there are concerns about their impact on soil water availability for the subsequent crop.

Crop and soil responses to 24 years of wheat residue removal and tillage
Abstract Retaining crop residue on agricultural land mitigates soil erosion and conserves nutrients, but its removal generates a valuable commodity for competing uses in agriculture and industry. Understanding long‐term effects of crop residue removal on crop performance and soil condition is essential to guide management decisions regarding ...

Straw return is widely applied for improving soil fertility and crop yields. However, the effects of straw return on soil methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions differ across cropping systems. Here, we investigated the effects of straw return on
