Purpose Sustainable crop production could contribute to feed and fuel for the ever-
increasing global population. The use of heavy agricultural machinery has improved the …

Soil compaction causes substantial reduction in agriculture productivity and has always
been of great distress for farmers. Intensive agriculture seems to be more crucial in causing …

The sustainability of agroecosystems is closely related to successful soil conservation.
Sustainable land use practices are crucial to reduce the impacts of agriculture on land …

No-tillage (NT) is a major component of conservation agricultural systems. Challenges that
have arisen with the adoption of NT include soil compaction, weed management, and …

Mechanical impedance limits soil exploration and resource capture by plant roots. We
examine the role of root anatomy in regulating plant adaptation to mechanical impedance …

The costs and benefits of soil compaction mitigation are reviewed and analysed based on
UK examples and soil types in this article. The review focusses first on operational costs …

A compactação do solo é um problema antigo e intensificou-se com a modernização da
agricultura, principalmente pelo uso de máquinas cada vez maiores e mais pesadas. A …

Improvements in water productivity and yield arise from interactions between varieties (G)
and their management (M). Most G× M interactions considered by breeders and …

The positive effect of soil organic matter (SOM) on crop yield has historically been attributed
to the ability of SOM to supply crops with nitrogen and water. Whether management-induced …

In various scientific fields properties are represented by functions varying over space. In this
paper, we present a methodology to make spatial predictions at non-data locations when the …
