Due to the complexity of interactions in the rhizosphere, a knowledge improvement about these interactions is essential to increase grain production through more sustainable agricultural practices with the main aim of feeding the growing population in our planet....
The application of fertilizer to ensure the steady improvement of crop yield has become the main means of agricultural production. However, it remains to be determined whether fertilization practices with different combinations of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), and organic (O) fertil...
An appropriate weed control cover has always been one of the major inputs in the production strategy and a vital component of sustainable development. It is important for both the direct effects of weeds on yield and production costs as well as the indirect effects on grain quality. It has ...
Faba bean is an important legume crop with significant potential to contribute to sustainable agricultural systems and food security in Ethiopia. Despite its importance, the crop is prone to various biotic and abiotic constraints that can reduce seed yie

During the last decades, Germany has set the goal of adopting a modern, environment-friendly and sustainable supply of energy by expanding renewable energy [4]. This initiative is integrated with that of the European Union (EU), which, by 2020, aims to lower the GHG emissions and energy ...
and there will be a higher risk of groundwater pollution. The effect of different agronomic practices on soil bulk density is shown in Fig.1. The bulk density of the 5–10 cm layer soil for CK (no-tillage control) was 1.27 g cm−3, which was higher than the 1.21 g cm−3in the...
The impact of sustainable farming on food security. How mentorship programs benefit youth. The effects of clean water initiatives. How innovation drives economic growth. Pessimistic Cause and Effect Essay Topics The impact of deforestation on climate change. ...
Fertilizer application is important to achieve sustainable agriculture. However, it remains unclear about the effects of long term fertilization on C and N immobilization as well as C/N ratios in soil aggregates at different depths. Samples taken at depths of 0 to 40 cm from dryland red soil ...
3. Some soil microbes in the rhizosphere and endosphere of plants improve tolerance to abiotic and biotic stress4. In addition to physicochemical properties of soils, soil microbial communities largely determine agricultural productivity5. To develop sustainable agriculture, understanding of ecological ...
