  1. Effects of cropping system, seed bed management and fertility interactions on biomass of crops grown on a Vertisol in the central highlands of Ethiopia by Tedla, A., Mamo, T., Klaij, M.C., Diedhiou, M.L.

    Published 1999
    “…The study also showed that two short-duration crops could be produced in sequence per year. It is therefore suggested that the Vertisols in the Ethiopian highlands could provide a good opportunity for longer period cropping using improved food opportunity for longer period cropping using improved and forage crops, thereby improving the availability and quality of animal feed and protecting the land against erosion.…”

  2. Occupancy of avian foraging guilds in soybean fields and borders in Entre Ríos, Argentina: responses to vegetation structure and prey resources by Goijman, Andrea Paula, Conroy, Michael J., Varni, Vanina Delia, Thompson, Jeffrey, Zaccagnini, Maria Elena

    Published 2020
    “…Arthropod counts in borders were greater during the last three crop stages than during the pre-sowing period. Conclusions: We found that with 10 to 15 native tree species in borders, coupled with a complex vegetation structure with shrubs and grasses, we could conserve a wide spectrum of insectivorous birds, and may contribute to the invertebrate pest control service. …”

  3. Animal and forage responses on lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) pastures under contrasting grazing managements in a temperate climate by Berone, German Dario, Sardiña, María Cecilia, Moot, Derrick

    Published 2020
    “…This suggests that lucerne persistence was not affected by the more intensive spring grazing of T350, because an adequate period of autumn recovery was allowed. This work quantified the live‐weight gain (+30%, +150 kg/ha) when the grazing management of lucerne during the spring–summer period was based on crop growth status (i.e. standing biomass, canopy height) rather than on crop phenology.…”

  4. Breeding annual grain legumes for sustainable agriculture: New methods to approach complex traits and target new cultivar ideotypes by Duc, G., Agrama, H., Bao, S., Berger, J., Bourion, V., Ron, A.M. de, Gowda, C.L.L., Mikic, A., Millot, D., Singh, K.B., Tullu, A., Vandenberg, A., Vaz Patto, Maria C, Warkentin, T.D., Zong, X.

    Published 2015
    “…Shoot architectures and phenologies can contribute to yield and biotic constraint protection (parasitic weeds, diseases or insects) reducing pesticide use. Variable maturity periods and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses are key features for the introduction of annual legumes to low input cropping systems and for enlarging cultivated area. …”

  5. Potential of Lablab purpureus accessions for crop-livestock production in the West African savanna by Ewansiha, S.U., Chiezey, U.F., Tarawali, Shirley A., Iwuafor, E.N.O.

    Published 2007
    “…Ten accessions that may contribute to grain production, eight accessions that may contribute to forage production and six accessions with drought tolerance were identified. …”

  6. Greylag geese (Anser anser) : crop selection and spatial distribution around Sörfjärden, Södermanland by Tennfors, Carina

    Published 2013
    “…A rapid population growth in Greylag geese (Anser anser) has led to a conflict between geese and farmers due to the foraging geese in agricultural fields which causes damage to crops by trampling and grazing. …”

  7. Transforming livestock productivity through watershed interventions: A case study of Parasai-Sindh watershed in Bundelkhand region of Central India by Dev, I., Singh, R., Garg, K.

    Published 2022
    “…The paper describes the interrelationship between land, water, crop, and livestock and how the gap in forage deficit can be bridged through a range of watershed interventions. …”

  8. Assessing the impact of the MRBI [Mississippi River Basin Healthy Watersheds Initiative] program in a data limited Arkansas Watershed using the SWAT model by Leh, Mansoor, Sharpley, A.N., Singh, G., Matlock, M.D.

    Published 2018
    “…Seven best management practices (BMPs) (pond, wetland, pond and wetland, cover crops, vegetative filter strips, grassed waterways and forage and biomass planting) were modelled under four placement strategies: random placement in 30% of the watershed, random placement in 30% hydrologic response units (HRUs) of the high priority hydrological unit code (HUCs), placement in the top 30% of the high priority HUCs, and top 30% of the HRUs in the HUCs near the outlet of the watershed. …”
