Abstract This study aims to compare the relationship between climate variables and rice productivity under different irrigation systems (irrigated rainfed) in clustering area on Java Island, Indonesia. used areas resulting from previous study. The are bias-corrected MERRA2 data period 1987–2017, cropped for Island. reference evapotranspiration this results of simulation Aquacrop modeling. resul...

Agricultural productivity levels depend on the adoption of (improved) agricultural technologies, among other aspects. However, the use of improved technologies in Mozambique is still very limited. Data from the National Agricultural Survey of 2012, known as Inquérito Agrícola Integrado, show that less than 3% of smallholder farmers used inorganic fertilizers, 6% used pesticides, 9% used improve...

With the growing recognition of the possibility of global climate change, an increasing emphasis on world food security in general and its regional impacts in particular have come to forefront of the scientific community. Agriculture production of rainfed regions is expected to suffer severe water crisis due to delayed monsoon, uneven distribution of rain as a result of climate change. The impa...

Global water scarcity is becoming a constraint for human development. Therefore there is a need to enhance water productivity of the irrigated and rainfed agriculture to meet the increasing food demand due to the population growth. This paper describes modeling efforts to assess present and future water needs for food, people and environment. This exercise is being carried out by the Internatio...

water deficit is an important factor limiting crop growth all over the world. in order to evaluate genetic variation, heritability and the interrelationship between agronomic traits, twenty chickpea genotypes were cultivated in two separated randomized complete block experiments with three replications under normal irrigated and rainfed conditions. the experiments were carried out at the agricu...

The objective of this research was to assess vulnerable soil erosion risk with qualitative approach using GIS in Ankara-Guvenc Basin. The study area is located about 44 km north of Ankara and covers 17.5 km2. The selected theme layers of this model include topographic factor, soil factors (depth, texture, impermeable horizon) and land use. Slope layer and land use-land cover data were prepared ...

Cork is the most valuable non-wood product of cork oak (Quercus suber L.). However, sector may be at risk due to climatic and economic pressures on forests, affecting both quantity technological quality products. At some sites, irrigation present a solution for stimulating growth thereby increasing production. This study presents an initial approach characterizing grown in forest stand associat...

This study spatially assesses, quantifies, and visualizes the agricultural expansion and land use intensification in the northwestern foothills of Mount Kenya over the last 30 years: processes triggered by population growth, and, more recently, by large-scale commercial investments. We made use of Google Earth Engine to access the USGS Landsat data archive and to generate cloud-free seasonal co...
