Increasing biodiversity is an important issue in more secure and sustainable agriculture.
Diversified systems are more resilient to climate change, environmental stresses and …

Acid soil savannas of tropical America are a vast resource to expand agricultural production,
alleviate the pressure on tropical rainforest and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions …

Agricultural production is challenging in environments with climatic instability, high
temperatures, and water deficits, particularly in sandy soils. The use of no-tillage, crop …

Conventional dryland cropping systems rely upon frequent and lengthy fallow periods to
conserve soil water and mineral nitrogen to stabilize crop production. However, this is …

Delay of sowing date in subtropical environments with long growing seasons can modify the
yield response of corn hybrids to nitrogen (N) fertilization. This study evaluated the effects of …

In tropical regions, one of the primary difficulties in the sustainability of no-till systems is the
maintenance of soil cover throughout the year. Intercropping corn (Zea mays L.) with tropical …

Sustainable corn production requires a dramatic shift toward natural soil fertility rather than
relying solely on synthetic fertilizers. Cover crops play an important role in improving the …

Improving fertilizer-N retention and use efficiency (NUE) is imperative to mitigate the loss of
reactive N into the environment. To reach additional improvements in N retention and NUE …

The inter-row soils in conventionally run citrus orchards in Eastern Spain lose fertility, either
physically, chemically, or biologically, as a consequence of machinery traffic and the use of …

Abstract The Integrated Nitrogen CAtchments (INCA-N) model was applied to identify the
sources and processes controlling riverine nitrogen (N) export in the Jiulong River …
