Purpose Sustainable crop production could contribute to feed and fuel for the ever-
increasing global population. The use of heavy agricultural machinery has improved the …

The global temperature has been increasing over the years due to climate change that,
directly or indirectly, affects water and energy consumptions in the agriculture sector. The …

The demand for food is expected to significantly increase with continued population growth
over the next 50 years, indicating that agricultural efficiency should be simultaneously …

Water is the most limiting resource for global crop production. The projected increase of dry
spells due to climate change will further increase the problem of water limited crop yields …

In the field of agricultural machinery, various empirical field tests are performed to measure
the design load for optimal design of tractors and implement. However, field test …

Over the years, an increase in global temperature due to climate change, affects energy
consumptions and water, especially in dryland areas. Increasing demand for herbal …

Soil compaction under no-tillage (NT) exerts a negative impact on the soil physical quality.
The objective of this study was to quantify the influence of compaction on soil's physical …

Excessive harvest of corn (Zea mays L.) stover for ethanol production has raised concerns
regarding negative consequences on soil physical quality. Our objective was to quantify the …

Straw returning is a technical measure of crop production widely adopted in arid and water-
deficient areas. However, the mechanism by which straw returning drives spatio-temporal …

Future European agriculture should achieve high productivity while limiting its impact on the
environment. Legume-supported crop rotations could contribute to these goals, as they …
