Land use intensification in the Rolling Pampa, Argentina: Diversifyingcrop sequences to increase yields and resource use
(Elsevier Science, 2016-11)
Increasing and maintaining high productivity levels presents a major challenge facing farmers today and will continue into the near future. More integrative and complex approaches to decision-making, besides adopting new ...
Remote sensing and cropping practices: A review
(MDPI AG, 2018-01)
For agronomic, environmental, and economic reasons, the need for spatialized information about agricultural practices is expected to rapidly increase. In this context, we reviewed the literature on remote sensing for mapping ...
Potential Uses of Wild Germplasms of Grain Legumes for Crop Improvement
(2017)
Challenged by population increase, climatic change, and soil deterioration, crop improvement is always a priority in securing food supplies. Although the production of grain legumes is in general lower than that of cereals, ...
Increased cropping intensity improves crop residue inputs to the soil and aggregate-associated soil organic carbon stocks
(Elsevier, 2017-01)
Many South American agroecosystems are based mainly on soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] as a sole crop
in the year, which has increased concerns regarding soil conservation and ecosystems sustainability. The
increase in ...
Combining cover crops and low nitrogen fertilization improves soil supporting functions
(2019-07)
Background and aims: Cover crops may restore soil functions lost with single summer crop sequences enhancing soil organic carbon and nitrogen (SOC and SON) stocks. We investigated the effect of cover crops and low nitrogen ...
Projected climate change threatens pollinators and crop production in Brazil
(Public Library of Science, 2017-08-09)
Animal pollination can impact food security since many crops depend on pollinators to produce fruits and seeds. However, the effects of projected climate change on crop pollinators and therefore on crop production are still ...
Numerical modeling of actual evapotranspiration of a coffee crop
(Universidade de São Paulo, 2011-07)
The evapotranspiration estimation has great importance to crop productivity and agricultural water management. In this study, evapotranspiration is analyzed in a coffee (Coffea arabica L.) crop located in Piracicaba, state ...
Remote sensing and cropping practices: a review
(2018)
For agronomic, environmental, and economic reasons, the need for spatialized information about agricultural practices is expected to rapidly increase. In this context, we reviewed the literature on remote sensing for mapping ...
Mollisol : biological characterization under Zero Tillage with different crops sequences
(2017-01)
Zero tillage practices have a direct effect on soil microbial communities modifying soil productivity and sustainability. The crop sequences used can change the aforementioned properties, too. In this study, we evaluated ...
Crop pollination management needs flower-visitor monitoring and target values
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-04)
Despite the crucial importance of biotic pollination for many crops, land managers rarely monitor the levels of crop pollination needed to guide farming decisions. The few existing pollination recommendations focus on a ...
