The goal of this study was to map rainfed and irrigated rice-fallow cropland areas across South Asia, using MODIS 250 m time-series data and identify where the farming system may be intensified by the inclusion of a shortseason crop during the fallow period. Rice-fallow cropland areas are those areas where rice is grown during the kharif growing season (June–October), followed by a fallow durin...

crop productivity, water use efficiency (wue), and microbial biomass c and n in rainfed dry area are influenced by tillage, rotation, and crop residue management. field experiments were conducted during 2005-08 to study the effect of tillage, crop rotation, and crop residue retention on oat fodder yield, water use efficiency, and microbial biomass c (mbc) and n (mbn) under semi-arid conditions ...

Shifts in rainfall frequency and intensity can lead to heavy crop loss rainfed agricultural systems. Small-scale farmers who plant with limited resources need carefully select management strategies that are well suited for their environment. Farmers must choose between planting higher-yielding varieties take longer mature lower-yielding be harvested sooner. To better understand the interactions...

The rice fields in Bonto Rannu Village, Kajang District, Bulukumba Regency are dominated by rainfed fields. This species has limitations the dry season because irrigation/agricultural irrigation completely depends on rainwater. Therefore, it is necessary to identify alternative sources sustain farmers' farming activities Village. study aims analyze number of groundwater wells testing form a pum...

Rainfed agriculture in Senegal is heavily affected by weather-related risks, particularly timing of start/end the rainy season. For climate services agriculture, National Meteorological Agency (ANACIM) has defined an onset season based on rainfall. In field, however, farmers do not necessarily follow ANACIM’s definition. To close gap between parallel efforts a information producer (i.e., ANACIM...

Smallholder farmers have been on the receiving end of impacts climate change due to direct dependence their livelihood portfolios climate-related systems. In northern Ghana, smallholder agriculture is predominantly rainfed, making crop farming very vulnerable changes and variability in rainfall other extreme climatic events. Therefore, this paper examined how north-western Ghana adapting over y...

Cape Verde, which has agricultural land that is mainly rainfed, will be severely affected by climate change due to increased drought conditions. Scarce water availability makes this country highly dependent on imports for its food supply, resulting in more than 80% importation. Improving use efficiency, implementing precision irrigation could help achieve sustainable of resources. Cereal produc...
