2021年6月14日,中国农业大学资源与环境学院崔振岭教授课题组在《Nature Food》杂志上在线发表了题为“Optimization of China’s maize and soy production can ensure feed sufficiency at lower nitrogen and carbon footprints”的研究论文,揭示了到 2035 年,种植面积不变的情况下,通过土壤-作物系统综合管理技术可提高...
China purchases around 66% of the soy that is traded internationally. This strains the global food supply and contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. Here we show that optimizing the maize and soy production of China can improve its self-sufficiency and
Mutant maize with a ‘smart canopy’ evades the shade at high planting density Adapting plant architecture to tolerate dense planting is an important strategy for enhancing maize yields. A newly identified mutant gene confers a ‘smart canopy’ architecture, with upright upper leaves, less-erect mid...
Crop pathogens and pests reduce the yield and quality of agricultural production. They cause substantial economic losses and reduce food security at household, national and global levels. Quantitative, standardized information on crop losses is difficult to compile and compare across crops, agroecosystems ...
and fertilizer input. We found that the absolute yield gains, compared with monocultures, were the greatest for mixtures of maize with short-grain cereals or legumes that had substantial temporal niche differentiation from maize, when grown with high nutrient inputs, and using multirow strips of ...

production con- straints in southern Africa. Maize is predomi- nantly grown by small-scale farmers without fungicides; hence, there is need to develop GLS resistant hybrids. There is limited information about the mode of inheritance for GLS resis- tance in regionally......
This invention concerns a binder for the production of a layer for road works or civil engineering. It comprises, with respect to the total weight of the binder. (a) 2 to 98% in weight of at least
Using models of cropping systems, we developed a strategy that combines cover-crop management and earlier planting of extended growth soybean varieties to reduce emissions from soybean production by 33%. These practices, which complement N fertilizer management in maize, are widely accessible and ...
As 2022 enters its final weeks, we look back on the past 12 months through the lens of Nature’s 10 — ten people who helped to shape science during the year. The cover takes its inspiration from the stunning images that have so far emerged from the James Webb Space Telescope. Launched...
