This chapter discusses ways of classifying rainfed farming systems for comparative, predictive and management purposes, and to assist in change from one type of system to another. Here, four categories of rainfed farming systems are distinguished: high-latitude rainfed systems with cold winters; mid-...
34, no significant distance-decay patterns of bacterial communities in agricultural soils were observed (Supplementary Fig.S5). Variation partitioning analysis was performed with three explanatory components—land-use types, edaphic and spatial variables. The spatial ...

The system processes S2 and L8 time-series data for vegetation status indicators, cropland masks and crop type maps in near real-time. The classifications achieved OA of 80%. Griffiths et al. (2019) used the NASA Harmonized Landsat-Sentinel (HLS) dataset for an intra-annual compositing ...
Download as PDF Agriculture plays a vital role in the Indian economy. Agriculture is the backbone of our country. It includes farming of crops, animal husbandry, pisciculture, agro-forestry etc. Nearly 60% of the Indian Population primarily depend on agriculture. Agriculture along with fisheries, ...
Small land holdings are generally not subject to the range of surface irrigation practices of the large industrial farming systems. The assessment methods can be applied if desired, but the design techniques are not generally applicable nor need they be since the irrigation practices...
In dryland farming systems, plastic-film mulching has been used for the micro-catchment of water and to increase topsoil tempera- ture for many years5. This technique can improve grain yields and water use efficiency in rain-fed regions6 and has now been widely applied to maize, wheat, ...
constraints include sodicity, aluminium and boron toxicity, and salinity. Therefore, a shallow root system may be the most efficient use of resources in a crop that relies on in-season, ephemeral rainfall events for growth and productivity where moisture is absent at depth or root growth is ...
According to an article published in Filtration+Separation, the growing trend of organic farming and food production has raised issues about food safety; artificial sweeteners continue to pose a threat to the sugar industry and increased awareness of sustainability has also had an impact on the food...
