Achieving SDG2 (zero hunger) in a situation of rapid global population growth requires a
continued focus on food production. Farming not merely needs to sustainably produce …

Intercropping is considered by its advocates to be a sustainable, environmentally sound,
and economically advantageous cropping system. Intercropping systems are complex, with …

Crop breeding heavily relies on natural genetic variation. However, additional new
variations are desired to meet the increasing human demand. Inflorescence architecture …

Risk aversion is an important research area in the field of agricultural economics in the last
years. Creating effective and efficient risk management tools in an increasingly volatile …

Yield gaps of∼ 50% of water limited yield potential occur in wheat globally. Nitrogen (N)
deficiency frequently contributes to the gap, but it is difficult to predict an appropriate rate of …

Controlled traffic farming (CTF) is a mechanisation system in which all machinery has the
same (or modular) working and track width so that field traffic can be confined to the least …

Context Irrigated agriculture is critical to feeding a growing global population. Irrigation
contributes 30% of agricultural gross value in Australia, but water scarcity and the volatility of …

CONTEXT Long fallow, once a common management practice in the low-rainfall of
Mediterranean-type environments, may provide growers with an opportunity to switch …

Yield gaps, which reflect the difference between the yield a grower achieves in a field, and
the water-limited yield potential of that field, have been extensively discussed in the last …

Water scarcity and quality are critical impediments to sustainable crop production. In this
study, HYDRUS-2D was calibrated using field measurements of water contents and …
