An update on genetically modified crops
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Facultad de Agronomía e Ingeniería Forestal, 2008)
Weed communities respond to changes in the diversity of crop sequence composition and double cropping
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-06)
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 ...
Soil carbon fluxes and balances of crop rotations under long-term no-till
(2020-09-16)
Background: A field study with the same crop rotations was conducted to test the hypothesis that the soil Carbon fluxes and balances could vary according to the crop species and also mitigate carbon dioxide (CO2) emission. ...
Are field crops refuge for woody invaders? Rainfall, crop type and management shaped tree invasion in croplands
(Elsevier Science, 2021-10)
Woody encroachment represents a global concern which is mostly studied in natural and semi-natural grasslands and savannas. Woody invasion is a growing phenomenon in agricultural landscapes, but it remains elusive how ...
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 ...
Cover crops at soybean agronomic performance in the western region of Parana state, Brazil
(Univ Federal Rural Pernambuco, 2022-01-01)
Soybean crop is one of the main activities of Brazilian agribusiness, grown in practically all regions of the country. Even though it is of fundamental importance, the no-till system is fully adopted in a few situations. ...
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 ...
