A systems-level yield gap assessment of maize-soybean rotation under high- and low-management inputs in the Western US Corn Belt using APSIM by Balboa, Guillermo R., Archontoulis, Sotirios, Salvagiotti, Fernando, Garcia, Fernando O., Stewart, W.M., Francisco, Eros Artur Bohac, Vara Prasad, P.V., Ciampitti, Ignacio A.

“…Besides irrigation, model analysis indicated that N fertilization for maize and narrow rows for soybean were the main factors contributing to yield gains. This study provides a systems level yield gap assessment of maize and soybean cropping system in Western US Corn Belt that can initiate dialogue (both experimental and modeling activities) on finding and applying best management systems to close current yield gaps.…”

Cassava germplasm strategies for Africa by Allem, A.C., Hahn, S.K.

“…The types of germplasm needed for the different agroecological zones where cassava is grown are outlined briefly in terms of what the main supplier (South America) has to offer. Africa's Atlantic coastal belt, its tropical rain forests, its extensive savannas, and the arid zones are examined in relation to similar zones in South America, with particular emphasis on Brazil, which alone can meet most African needs thanks to the diversity of its edaphoclimatic environments. …”

Effect of nitrogen fertilizer and cassava variety on the sensory quality of composite bread by Shittu, T.A., Sanni, Lateef O., Maziya-Dixon, B.B., Awonorin, S.O., Dixon, A.

“…Fertilizer dosages of 0 and 160 kg/ha were applied during the raining season in a completely randomized trial plot located in Mokwa, in the Guinea savannah belt of Nigeria. The main effect of variety was significant on crust color and appearance (p<0.01) whereas fertilized application significantly influenced crumb structure and crust appearance (p<0.01). …”

Prediction of Australian wheat genotype by environment interactions and mega-environments by Fradgley, Nick, Gerard, Guillermo Sebastián, Velu, Govindan, Nicol, Julie M., Singh, Amit Kumar, Tadesse, Wuletaw, Zwart, Alexander B., Trethowan, Richard, Trevaskis, Ben, Whan, Alex, Hyles, Jessica

“…We found GEI-based environment classes could be defined by combinations of key ECs. Prediction of main and latent effects in a wider set of environments covering the full TPE across the Australian grain belt over 13 years revealed the complex trends of environmental effects and GEI over regional scales demonstrating high year-to-year variability. …”

Wetlands and agriculture: a case for integrated water resource management in Sri Lanka by Atapattu, Sithara S., de Silva, Sanjiv, Senaratna Sellamuttu, Sonali

“…The proliferation of village level water storage structures (small tanks) has created an unusually large number of man-made wetland habitats that add significantly to the natural wetlands that are concentrated mainly in the coastal belt. The absence of an integrated approach to water resource development however, continues to erode natural wetland systems. …”
