Likewise, cotton is grown in the regur (black earth) soil of Maharashtra and Gujarat, while the loamy soils of western Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab are ideally suited for wheat, rice and sugarcane crops. Furthermore, the land occupancy, ownership of land, size of ...
According to a new scientist research, we are rapidly going close to major climate change and the effects on the environment could be quite serious. Geographers predict that climate zones could completely disappear within the next eighty years. Where will crops be grown if this happens? When the...
East Asia is a hotspot of surface ozone (O3) pollution, which hinders crop growth and reduces yields. Here, we assess the relative yield loss in rice, wheat and maize due to O3 by combining O3 elevation experiments across Asia and air monitoring at about
To assess the quality of Brazilian food products with respect to non-essential TEs, we evaluated arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) contents in five major crops grown in Brazil: rice, wheat, corn, soybeans, and potatoes. The samples were collected from field trials with a record...
Geographers predict that within th e next eighty years, climat e zones could compl etely disappear, determining wher e crops will b e grown. Polar regions (极地)get colder whil e t ropical(热带的)regions get even hotter, forcing animals to mov e to th e north.Climat e changes lik e ...
The bitter almond contains a bitter glucoside (amygdalin) which readily breaks down into cyanic acid and so prevents its use as food. However, it is grown in southern Europe as a source of the oil of bitter almond, which is used after the cyanic acid is extracted, for flavouring. The ...
Although the El Nin˜o/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) often affects seasonal temperature and precipitation, and thus crop yields in many regions, the overall impacts of ENSO on global yields are uncertain. Here we present a global map of the impacts of ENSO on the yields of major crops and ...
Maize is the most widely grown crop in the world, and to improve the grain yield has always been a top priority [57]. Identifying useful QTLs related to grain yield such as kernel weight, kernel size and kernel number is important for genetic manipulation to increase production via maize bre...
Strong and shifting selective pressures of the Anthropocene are rapidly shaping phenomes and genomes of organisms worldwide. Crops expressing pesticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) represent one major selective force on insect genomes. Here
