Rhizobacterial Inoculants for Low Input Wheat-based Cropping Systems
A large part of the Indo-Gangetic plain has marginal soils, which are depleted of nutrients and sandy with low water-holding capacity. Fertilizers and irrigation are applied to obtain regular yield. However, high usage of fertilizers and inappropriate methods of irrigation lead to a degradation of soil microfl ora and loss of soil fertility in the long term. In close collaboration with other pa...
متن کاملLow-Input Cropping for Acid Soils
A low-input cropping system has been developed at Yurimiaguas, Peru, to serve as a transition technology between shifting and continuous cultivation for acid soiln of the humid tropics. Principal features are slash-andburn clearing, rotation of acid-tolerant upland rice and cowpea cultivars, maximum residue return, no tillage, and no lime or fertilizer apoiications. When yields decline as a res...
متن کاملinvestigating the integration of translation technologies into translation programs in iranian universities: basis for a syllabus design in translation technology
today, information technology and computers are indispensable tools of any profession and translation technologies have become an indispensable part of translator’s workstation. with the increasing demands for high productivity and speed as well as consistency and with the rise of new demands for translation and localization, it is necessary for translators to be familiar with market demands an...
Field-scale experiments reveal persistent yield gaps in low-input and organic cropping systems.
Knowledge of production-system performance is largely based on observations at the experimental plot scale. Although yield gaps between plot-scale and field-scale research are widely acknowledged, their extent and persistence have not been experimentally examined in a systematic manner. At a site in southwest Michigan, we conducted a 6-y experiment to test the accuracy with which plot-scale cro...
متن کاملShort-term soil carbon dynamics of humic fractions in low-input and organic cropping systems
Observing changes in soil organic matter (SOM) is a fundamental part of defining the carbon cycle in natural and cultivated environments. However, relying on changes in the mass of soil C over short periods often produces conflicting results because of errors associated with sampling and analysis. In addition, C mass balance studies provide little interpretation of processes or turnover of spec...
