Agricultural intensification, besides increasing land productivity, also affects weed communities. We studied weed shifts in cropping sequences differing in the identity and number of crops grown. We also evaluated whether ...

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 ...

New avenues are being explored to increase food production in the extensive agriculture of highly productive temperate regions. Intensifying the use of land by sequencing two crops in a season (double cropping) may enhance ...

Increasing cropland productivity is critical to meet future global demand of food, fibers and biofuels. Recent innovations in grain crop management are aimed at designing more ecologically complex cropping systems by growing ...

Because its relevance for the sustenance and livelihood of human systems, the assessment of the impacts that future climatic conditions may have on agricultural productivity becomes a key piece of information for agricultural ...

Favorable weather conditions prevailing on most South American Pampas allows to grow more than one crop per year. Indeed, increasing crop intensity per unit area has been highlighted as an opportunity to increase crop ...

The intensification of agricultural systems including sequential double-crops provides a reliable platform to increase the water and solar radiation use in many humid temperate areas of South America, which are predominantly ...
