Improving nitrogen management for zero-tillage rice in China
The Crop Journal, 2018 Zero-tillage has become increasingly attractive in rice production in China. This study was conducted to determine the feasibility of two possible improved N management practices with fewer N applications in zero-tillage rice: (1) two split applications of urea at 75 kg N ha−1 at mid-tillering and 45 kg N ha−1 at panicle initiation (U120–2), and (2) a ...

Assessing Agricultural Green Total Factor Productivity in Latin America
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The agricultural sector in Latin America plays a vital role in ensuring food security while impacting the environment. However, there remains a lack of analysis regarding the inputs responsible for pollution within its sub‐technologies. Hence, this article aims to assess agricultural green total factor productivity (TFP) through a novel ...
