Tillage systems for the West African semiarid tropics by Hulugalle, N.R., Maurya, P.R.

“…However, lower yield have been reported to occur with no tillage. Some possible reasons are: the absence or low amounts of residue mulch, high soil compaction, the presence of harmful soil insects in crop residues, the creation of stable pores by tillage in soils of high organic matter, silt and fine sand contents. …”

Chalakudy River Diversion Scheme, Kerala: does it show the future of canal irrigation in India? by Santhosh, Harikrishnan, Mohan, A., George, S. L.

“…Under changing circumstances, paddy cultivation has seen a drastic downward trend in the last 30 years. One of the reasons for this trend is the irregularity in water supply through canals resulting from the flow fluctuations due to various hydroelectric projects that have come up in the upstream and inefficiencies arising out of low maintenance and performance management. …”

CTA Project Completion Report: Accelerating the Uptake of Climate-smart Agriculture in ACP countries (UPCSA) by Ajayi, Oluyede C.

“…However, the science of delivery of CSA (actual field level adoption by farmers) has been far lower than the science of discovery (potential impact and technical advancement on CSA), as the mass adoption of these potentially game-changing climate-smart agricultural approaches is not happening at the expected rate. One of the reasons for this is because successful upscaling of these innovations does not depend exclusively on the technical characteristics of the practices, but also on enabling policy and institutional environment; i.e. favourable policies, institutional capacities, and user feedback to continuously refine the CSA. …”

A review of crop variety evaluation in Roots, Tubers and Bananas: geographic coverage, approaches, trait inclusion, and gender aspects by Valle, José Francisco

“…Moreover we found that data collection strategies are not adequate for deciphering complex traits describing trade-offs and revealing reasons for varietal preferences. This limits the ability to identify quantifiable indicators that can be integrated into breeding programs. …”
