Weed germinable seedbanks of rice-wheat systems in the Eastern Indo-Gangetic Plains: Do tillage and edaphic factors explain community variation? by Lowry, Carolyn J., Brainard, Daniel C., Kumar, Virender, Smith, Richard G., Singh, Madhulika, Kumar, Pankaj, Kumar, Ajay, Kumar, Vipin, Joon, Rajiv K., Jat, Raj K., Poonia, Shishpal, Malik, Ram K., McDonald, Andrew

“…Zero tillage (ZT) is widely promoted throughout India's Eastern Indo‐Gangetic Plains (IGP) because of its potential to increase wheat productivity and resilience to abiotic stresses. Weeds remain a major barrier to ZT adoption, yet it remains unclear how ZT will influence weed communities in the Eastern‐IGP. …”

Continuous practice of conservation agriculture for 3-5 years in intensive rice-based cropping patterns reduces soil weed seedbank by Hossain, Mohammad Mobarak, Begum, Mahfuza, Hashem, Abul, Rahman, Md. Moshiur, Haque, Md. Enamul, Bell, Richard W.

“…The weed seedbank in 0–15 cm soil was quantified by assessing the emergence of weeds from soils collected from the field after irrigation, (Boro) rice in Digram and wheat in Beluapara, and they were allowed to emerge in trays in a shade-house experiment. The year-round count of emerged weeds at both the locations revealed the fewest number of weed species (especially broadleaf weeds), and the lowest weed density and biomass in SP, followed by CT, BP, and NT, with 50% crop residue mulch. …”

Atmospheric CO2 concentration effects on rice water use and biomass production by Kumar, Uttam, Quick, William Paul, Barrios, Marilou, Sta. Cruz, Pompe C., Dingkuhn, Michael

“…Crop coefficient Kc (ET over potential ET, or ETo) is crop specific according to FAO, but may decrease as CO2 concentration rises. A sunlit growth chamber experiment was conducted in the Philippines, exposing 1.44-m2 canopies of IR72 rice to four constant CO2 levels (195, 390, 780 and 1560 ppmv). …”

Household wellbeing in rural Papua New Guinea: Analysis from the 2023 PNG Rural Household Survey by Mahrt, Kristi, Schmidt, Emily, Fang, Peixun, Mukerjee, Rishabh

“….  The healthy diet poverty line incorporates a higher share of nutrient dense food groups (vegetables, fruits, meat and fish, etc.) and thus is about 1/3 more costly than the standard poverty line.  On average, households within the survey sample over-consume staples and fats compared to healthy guidelines and under-consume vegetables, fruits, animal source foods, and nuts/pulses.  Smaller households and households with greater production assets (land and labor), education completion, market access, and income diversification (via non-farm businesses and migrant remittances) are associated with higher household consumption-expenditure (income proxy).  Among households engaged in cash crop sales (i.e., cocoa, coffee, betelnut, horticulture) only cocoa farming households have significantly higher consumption-expenditure (income proxy).  Targeted safety net and community asset building programs could reduce rural poverty by increasing agriculture productivity, supporting rural-urban market linkages, improving demand for rural goods, and incentivizing off-farm employment.  Facilitating remittance transfers from migrants to rural households and facilitating access to primary education could improve rural incomes in the short and long term, respectively.…”
