Low productivity of pilosae type lentils grown in South Asia is attributed to narrow genetic
base of the released cultivars which results in susceptibility to biotic and abiotic stresses.
For enhancement of productivity and production, broadening of...
he objectives of this study were to determine the effects of drying and wetting (DW) cycles on soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralisation and on the priming effect (PE) induced by the addition of 13C-labelled wheat straw to long-term no-tillage (NT)...
Water-harvesting practices, which capture and concentrate surface runoff for crop or range
production, can help to re-establish the productive functioning of Jordanian Badia environments. The main objective of this study is to assess the rate of...
management of water resources, and estimation of greenhouse gas (methane) emissions. Paddy rice agriculture
has expanded rapidly in northeastern China in the last decade, but there are no updated maps of
paddy rice fields in the region. Existing...
The article presents the commercial behaviour and its determinants of smallholder farmers in wheat seed use, and its implication for seed demand assessment, based on primary data from 524 wheat farmers in the major wheat growing areas covering 22...
Within the ‘Unlocking the potential of rainfed agriculture in Ethiopia for improved rural livelihoods’ (UNPRA) project, the University of Natural
Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Vienna, Austria (BOKU) research focuses on the establishment of a...
Soil erosion has accelerated in most regions of the world, especially in developing countries, due to various socio-economic and demographic factors and limited expertise (Bayramin et al., 2002). Geographically, soil erosion is more severe in the...
