Background: Mixed cropping of forage grasses and legumes can potentially improve the performance herbivores. However, feasibility mixed-cropped with should be examined at different plant densities. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate growth characters chemical composition in dwarf napiergrass ( Pennisetum purpureum cv. Mott) Indigofera zollingeriana ) grown using alley cropping. Methods: Three de...

Questions as to whether public investment in international agricultural research is a ‘Good Thing’ or not may best be addressed using two arguments: (1) justifications based on whether or not past investments have yielded substantial benefits to societies and the resource-poor; and (2) that future investments need to be made as effectively and efficiently as possible, which means they must be t...

Forage crop–dairy farming is an important agro-industry across the world. This system intensive with high-input forage crops. In United States (US) Southern Great Plains, based primarily on annual grass-type crops in monocropping approaches and requires diverse low-input broadleaf for strengthening its sustainability. Winter canola (Brassica napus L.) pea (Pisum sativum have potential to provid...

In this paper, we developed a more sophisticated method for detection and estimation of mixed paddy rice agriculture from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite data. Previous research demonstrated thatMODIS data can be used tomap paddy rice fields and to distinguish rice from other crops at large, continental scaleswith combined Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) and Land...

Global warming increases the risk of high-temperature injury to maize. Inter- and mixed-cropping maize varieties with different genotypes is one way effectively alleviate during flowering period. However, mitigation effect intercropping modes on still unclear. Based previous years field production, Denghai 605, which more sensitive high temperatures period, was determined as main test variety, ...

a two-year field experiment was carried out in semi-arid region of southern iran (shiraz), during 2007-2008 and 2009-2010 growing seasons using various mixtures of an early- (cv falat) and a middle-ripening (cv shiraz) winter wheat cultivar to evaluate the beneficial effects of inducing temporal growth heterogeneity on reduction of intra-specific competition during post-anthesis moisture stress...
