Modelling water productivity for ecological intensification of crop sequences in the Inner Argentinean Pampas by Videla Mensegue, Horacio Rogelio, Caviglia, Octavio, Degioanni, Américo José, Marcos, J., Bonadeo, E.

“…Our main findings reveal that: i) Regardless of location, all crop sequences alternatives to those based on a high SP had a higher estimated glucose yield, ii) Estimated glucose yield, WP, Cw, and WUE were significantly related to one or more indexes of EI included in multiple lineal models, iii) The role of Cw was more important than that of WUE to increase WP, iv) The choice of crop sequence was more critical to increase Cw when decreasing rainfall, v) vapour pressure deficit appears as a meteorological variable at least as important as the total amount of rainfall and its distribution pattern to design crop sequences in the IAP. …”

Rain water harvesting for enhancing crop water productivity: an assessment for rainfed areas of India. [Abstract only]. by Sharma, Bharat R., Rao, K.V., Vittal, K.P.R.

“…Besides several other factors related to agriculture sector as a whole, adverse meteorological conditions in long dry spells and droughts, unseasonal rains and extended moisture stress periods with no mechanisms for storing and conserving the surplus rain to tide over the scarcity/ deficit periods were the major cause for non-remunerative yields and the associated distress. …”

Mitigating the effects of hydrologic variability in Ethiopia: an assessment of investments in agricultural and transportation infrastructure, energy and hydroclimatic forecasting by Block, Paul J.

“…This forecast is of tremendous value, giving farmers crucial indication of potential future climatic conditions, and is a solid improvement over climatology, as currently utilized by the Ethiopian national Meteorological Institute. Using crop yield potential from the 1961-2000 period and general seed costs, farmers basing cropping decisions on the forecast model, in lieu of climatology, would have experienced superior net incomes.…”

The coffee rust crises in Colombia and Central America (2008–2013): impacts, plausible causes and proposed solutions by Avelino, Jacques, Cristancho, Marco, Georgiou, Selena, Imbach, Pablo, Aguilar, Lorena, Bornemann, Gustavo, Läderach, Peter R.D., Anzueto, Francisco, Hruska, Allan J, Morales, Carmen

“…The main drivers of these epidemics are economic and meteorological. All the intense epidemics experienced during the last 37 years in Central America and Colombia were concurrent with low coffee profitability periods due to coffee price declines, as was the case in the 2012–13 Central American epidemic, or due to increases in input costs, as in the 2008–11 Colombian epidemics. …”
