Sustainability of agricultural landscapes depends largely on land-use practices. As one of the most productive and widespread agricultural soils, loess is often deep and easily eroded, posing grand challenges for environmental sustainability around the world. One prime example is the Loess Plateau of China, which has been cultivated for more than 7500 years. Based on long-term data sets, this s...

comparison of energy productivity of different crops can be used as an effective tool to prioritize crops planting in each area. this study was conducted in order to compare of wheat and barley farms of sistan and blochestan province in relation of various aspects of energy consumption at 2009. 100 wheat and 100 barley fields were selected randomly from zahedan, zabol, saravan, khash, iranshahr...

Abstract In recent years, operations research in agriculture has improved the harvested yield, reduced cost and time required for field operations, maintained economic environmental sustainability. The heuristics method, named Evolutionary neighborhood discovery algorithm (ENDA), is applied to minimize inter-field intra-field distance of routing planning machines multiple agricultural fields. p...

Efficient bioresource management can alter soil biochemistry and physical properties, leading to reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agricultural fields. The objective of this study was evaluate the role organic amendments including biodigestate (BD), biochar (BC), their combinations with inorganic fertilizer (IF) in increasing carbon sequestration potential mitigation GHG potato (Solan...
