Vulnerability of soil separates to detachment by water is described as soil erodibility by Universal Soil Loss Equation which can be affected by land use change. In this study it was attempted to quantify the changes of Universal Soil Loss Equation K-factor and its soil driving factors in three land uses including rangeland, rainfed farming, and orchards in Babolrood watershed, northern Iran. S...

Gunungkidul Regency is known as an area that often experiences drought. On the other hand, also regency with highest amount of rice production in Special Region Yogyakarta Province. Rainfed paddy farming most widely developed type where irrigation needs are determined by rainfall. Decreased rainfall triggers meteorological drought can disrupt rainfed-based agriculture. This study aims to analyz...

yield gap analysis provides an essential framework to prioritize research and policy efforts aimed at reducing yield constraints. to identify options for increasing chickpea yield, the ssm-chickpea model was parameterized and evaluated to analyze yield potentials, water limited yields and yield gaps for nine regions representing major chickpea-growing areas of razavi khorasan province. the aver...

The purposeof this studywas to Analyzing factors that effecting on rangeland degradation. Statistical population of this research consisted of whole farmer in Pirtaj district (N= 1600); from that 120 farmer were selected as sample using cluster sampling. The main tool to collect data was a researcher made questionnaire that Content validity of the questionnaire was approved, by a panel of exper...

sustainable exploitation of land resources is directly affected by considering soil quality which finally will also conclude environmental protection. therefore, assessing different soil quality aspects which are sensitive to various land management practices seems too important. in this study, some selected soil quality indicators have been compared in five land use systems including untouched...

introduction: two of the main challenges in developing countries are food production and trying to get a high income for good nutrition and reduction of poverty. cereals and legumes are the most important crops in the rainfed areas of the country occupying the majority of dry land areas. irrigated production systems had a main role in food production in the past years; but unfortunately, in rec...

The goal of sustainable intensification of agriculture in Malawi has led to the evaluation of innovative, regionally novel or under-utilized crop species. Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) has the potential to provide a drought tolerant, nutritious alternative to maize. We evaluated 11 diverse varieties of quinoa for their yield and agronomic performance at two locations, Bunda and Bembeke, in...
