The combined application of organic resources (ORs) and mineral fertilizers is increasingly
gaining recognition as a viable approach to address soil fertility decline in sub-Saharan …

Asynchrony between nitrogen (N) supply and crop demand is the source of many
environmental hazards associated with excess N in the biosphere. In this review, we explore …

During the last decades a lot of research have been made on the use of cover crops. Cover
crops are grown for many purposes, but most of the resent interest have focused on their …

Cover crops provide multiple agronomic and environmental benefits, such as enhanced soil
carbon sequestration, aggregation, water infiltration, and reduced erosion and nutrient …

Low-input and organic farming systems have notable differences in nitrogen (N) sources,
cycling and management strategies compared to conventional systems with high inputs of …

Cover crops offer many benefits for farmers seeking to reduce their reliance on external
inputs. These include maintaining and improving soil quality, preventing erosion and, in …

Nitrogen (N) is the most susceptible nutrient to transformations affecting plant availability.
These transformations include mineralization, immobilization, nitrification and denitrification …

Agricultural management practices such as subsurface drip irrigation (SDI) and winter
legume cover cropping (WLCC) influence soil water dynamics as well as carbon and …

Cropping systems comprising winter catch crops followed by spring wheat could reduce N
leaching risks compared to traditional winter wheat systems in humid climates. We studied …

The emissions of nitrous oxide (N 2 O) and leaching of nitrate (NO 3) from agricultural
cropping systems have considerable negative impacts on climate and the environment …
