Understanding greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions is becoming increasingly important with the climate change. Most previous studies have focused on the assessment of soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration potential and GHG emissions from agriculture. However, specific experiments assessing tillage impacts on GHG emission from double-cropped paddy fields in Southern China are relatively scarce. Th...

Multiple cropping, a common practice of intensive agriculture that grows crops multiple times in the agricultural land in one growing season, is an effective way to fulfill the food demand given limited cropland areas. Deriving cropping cycles from satellite data provides the spatial distribution of cropping intensities that allows for monitoring of the multiple cropping activities over large a...

Accurate crop rotation information is essential for understanding food supply, cropland management, and resource allocation, especially in the context of China’s basic situation “small farmers a big country”. However, mapping smallholder agriculture systems remains challenging due to diversity types, complex cropping practices, fragmented cropland. This research established sub-seasonal identif...

corn–soybean cropping systems predominate. The effect of these cropping systems on indicators of soil quality Understanding long-term management effects on soil properties is only partially understood. Soil organic C has been is necessary to determine the relative sustainability of cropping systems. Soil physical, chemical, and biological properties were measured shown to increase in monocultur...

Intercropping is a sustainable practice to achieve higher production with the aim to limit external inputs. A field experiment was conducted at the research farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Maragheh, Maragheh, Iran, during 2016 growing seasons with ten treatments to evaluate the yield, analyze the competition and insect’s assemblages in sunflower (as main plant)/soybean (as com...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) variety mixtures represent a relatively unexplored avenue for maintaining yield and improving flour quality. A field experiment was conducted to examine the responses of three spring wheat varieties in pure variety and in variety mixtures under continuous cropping in Northeast China. Three modern spring wheat varieties, along with a three-variety mixture and a t...

A field trial with different sowing windows of the maize crop was done in Eastern Block Farm Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, Nadu, India. The were scheduled mid every month for four seasons. treatments Kharif (2019) – June 15th, July and August 15th; Rabi (2019-2020) September October November Late (2020-2021) December January February Summer (2021) March April May 15th. agromet...

The use of cover cropping, as one element in a continuous living approach, has the potential to protect water quality and promote soil health, but overall U.S. acreage crops well adoption rates remain low. Research on behavioral barriers crop indicates lack information about locally suitable practices varieties, additional management complexity cropping high degree uncertainty outcomes, especia...
