Strategies to mitigate degradation and ensure food water security are among the main challenges in agricultural development. Unconsolidated information about positive impact of conservationist practices on productivity increase is fundamental for their adoption by farmers. This study evaluated if saved rainfall excess catchment with terrace generates higher soybean corn yield due greater availa...

A cross-sectional survey of agricultural areas, combined with routinely monitored mosquito larval information, was conducted in urban Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, to investigate how agricultural and geographical features may influence the presence of Anopheles larvae. Data were integrated into a geographical information systems framework, and predictors of the presence of Anopheles larvae in farmin...

in order to study the effects of cropping systems and mulch application in relay intercropped styrian pumpkin (cucurbita pepo l.) with chickpea (cicer arietinum l.), a field experiment was conducted as factorial layout based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station, college of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, during growing s...

The goal of sustainable intensification of agriculture in Malawi has led to the evaluation of innovative, regionally novel or under-utilized crop species. Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) has the potential to provide a drought tolerant, nutritious alternative to maize. We evaluated 11 diverse varieties of quinoa for their yield and agronomic performance at two locations, Bunda and Bembeke, in...

Land cover divergences across international borders reflect how country-level policies influence ecological footprints on the landscape. We identified 30 abrupt transboundary globe, with major land differences despite similar conditions. Divergences were significantly associated in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) between countries, not demographic differences. In mountains, unsuitable for mechaniz...

Abstract This study aims to compare the relationship between climate variables and rice productivity under different irrigation systems (irrigated rainfed) in clustering area on Java Island, Indonesia. used areas resulting from previous study. The are bias-corrected MERRA2 data period 1987–2017, cropped for Island. reference evapotranspiration this results of simulation Aquacrop modeling. resul...

Abstract Traditional High Andean agriculture is rainfed, and irrigation commonly carried out in an open loop, that is, without measuring variables such as soil moisture content or plant development to define water consumption. This article presents model predictive control applied systems under real conditions, whose purpose the efficient use of rainfed crops with improved yield crop productivi...
