Although winter cover crops (WCCs) have demonstrated positive effects on soil properties, relatively little is known about the responses of and plant microbiomes to introduction WCCs their associated management. Our objective was evaluate WCC suppression methods rhizosphere microbiome oats under field conditions. Rhizospheric extracted quantify abundances amoA gene ammonia-oxidizing bacteria ar...

Crop forecast is an activity practiced by experts in agriculture, based on large data volumes. These data cover climatological information of the most diverse types, concerning a geographic region and the type of culture. Besides volume, another problem to face concerns data heterogeneity. This paper presents a project for development of a data management system for crop forecasts. The paper is...

In a 3-year field study, population densities of Belonolaimus longicaudatus and other plant-parasitic nematodes and crop yields were compared between potato (Solanum tuberosum) cropping systems where either sorghum-sudangrass (Sorghum bicolor x S. arundinaceum) or velvetbean (Mucuna pruriens) was grown as a summer cover crop. Population densities of B. longicaudatus, Paratrichodorus minor, Tyle...

Growing degree days (GDD) is a tool to predict plant growth and can be adapted for use in any species, including cover crops. A limitation of the GDD calculation accurate temperature parameters used development. For most crop cardinal temperatures are not well defined literature, leading less GDD. The objective this study was determine eight Austrian winter pea (Pisum sativum), balansa clover (...

Maintaining permanent coverage of the soil using crop residues is an important and commonly recommended practice in conservation agriculture. Measuring this practice is an essential step in improving knowledge about the adoption and impact of conservation agriculture. Different data collection methods can be implemented to capture the field level crop residue coverage for a given plot, each wit...

Although a many studies concerning crop residue burning have been conducted, the influence of crop residue burning on local PM2.5 concentrations remains unclear. The number of crop residue burning spots was the highest in Heilongjiang province and we extracted crop residue burning spots for this region using MOD14A1 (Thermal Anomalies & Fire Daily L3 Global 1 km) data and national land cover da...
