In the quest for sustainable intensification of crop production, we discuss the option of
extending the root depth of crops to increase the volume of soil exploited by their root …

Crop residue management received little attention until about 1970. Records of crop residue
production are limited, but crop yield databases have been available since 1865. Carbon …

Because sorghum is a drought‐tolerant crop, it is often preferred by producers in cases of
expected water stress. The objectives of this review were to summarize the water …

The area under energy crops has increased tenfold over the last 10 years, and there is large
consensus that the demand for energy crops will further increase rapidly to cover several …

Water is the most basic essential for plant growth; an inadequate supply causes severe
problems, as plants rely on the water transmitted by soil to meet their physiological and …

Unused inorganic nitrogen (N inorg) left in agricultural soils will typically leach to deeper soil
layers. If it moves below the root zone it will be lost from the system, but the depth of the root …

In drought‐prone environments, sweet sorghum and sorghum‐sudangrass hybrids are
considered worthy alternatives to maize for biogas production. The biomass productivity of …
