More 'crop per drop': constraints and opportunities for precision irrigation in European agriculture.

Journal of the science of food and agriculture

Monaghan JM, Daccache A, Vickers LH, Hess TM, Weatherhead EK, Grove IG, Knox JW.
PMID: 23436218
J Sci Food Agric. 2013 Mar 30;93(5):977-80. doi: 10.1002/jsfa.6051. Epub 2013 Feb 21.

Dwindling water supplies, increasing drought frequency and uncertainties associated with a changing climate mean Europe's irrigated agriculture sector needs to improve water efficiency and produce more 'crop per drop'. This paper summarizes the drivers for change, and the constraints...

Environmental assessment of Obstacle Limitation Surfaces (OLS) in airports using geographic information technologies.

PloS one

Contreras-Alonso MR, Ezquerra-Canalejo A, Pérez-Martín E, Herrero-Tejedor TR, López-Cuervo Medina S.
PMID: 32101589
PLoS One. 2020 Feb 26;15(2):e0229378. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0229378. eCollection 2020.

A series of 3D obstacle limitation surfaces (OLS) define the limits to which objects may project in the airspace in order to configure the airspace around aerodromes that must be kept free from obstacles. The aim is to ensure...

De Novo Domestication: An Alternative Route toward New Crops for the Future.

Molecular plant

Fernie AR, Yan J.
PMID: 30999078
Mol Plant. 2019 May 06;12(5):615-631. doi: 10.1016/j.molp.2019.03.016. Epub 2019 Apr 15.

Current global agricultural production must feed over 7 billion people. However, productivity varies greatly across the globe and is under threat from both increased competitions for land and climate change and associated environmental deterioration. Moreover, the increase in human...

Evaluation of pulse crops' functional diversity supporting food production.

Scientific reports

Guiguitant J, Vile D, Ghanem ME, Wery J, Marrou H.
PMID: 32098982
Sci Rep. 2020 Feb 25;10(1):3416. doi: 10.1038/s41598-020-60166-4.

Pulses, defined as legumes which produce dry seed used for human consumption, are plants of great agronomic value, at the food system level as much as the field level but their diversity has been largely underused. This study aimed...

Translating large-scale climate variability into crop production forecast in Europe.

Scientific reports

Guimarães Nobre G, Hunink JE, Baruth B, Aerts JCJH, Ward PJ.
PMID: 30718693
Sci Rep. 2019 Feb 04;9(1):1277. doi: 10.1038/s41598-018-38091-4.

Studies show that climate variability drives interannual changes in meteorological variables in Europe, which directly or indirectly impacts crop production. However, there is no climate-based decision model that uses indices of atmospheric oscillation to predict agricultural production risks in...

Economic Performance and Sustainability of a Novel Intercropping System on the North China Plain.

PloS one

Huang C, Liu Q, Heerink N, Stomph T, Li B, Liu R, Zhang H, Wang C, Li X, Zhang C, van der Werf W, Zhang F.
PMID: 26275297
PLoS One. 2015 Aug 14;10(8):e0135518. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0135518. eCollection 2015.

Double cropping of wheat and maize is common on the North China Plain, but it provides limited income to rural households due to the small farm sizes in the region. Local farmers in Quzhou County have therefore innovated their...

Microbial inoculum development for ameliorating crop drought stress: A case study of Variovorax paradoxus 5C-2.

New biotechnology

Garcia Teijeiro R, Belimov AA, Dodd IC.
PMID: 31899322
N Biotechnol. 2020 May 25;56:103-113. doi: 10.1016/j.nbt.2019.12.006. Epub 2019 Dec 30.

Drought affects plant hormonal homeostasis, including root to shoot signalling. The plant is intimately connected below-ground with soil-dwelling microbes, including plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) that can modulate plant hormonal homeostasis. Incorporating PGPR into the rhizosphere often delivers favourable...
