An analysis of the species composition vegetation on fallow plots different duration and virgin lands made it possible to conclude that succession state with increasing age. Comparison zootechnical parameters hay from experimental agrocenoses average content fat, ash fiber for variants is 17.0%, 9.8% 7.7%, respectively, higher than in variant. Analysis chemical showed concentrations nitrogen, c...

In Washington, over fifty percent of the wheat produced under rainfed conditions receives less than 300 mm of annual precipitation. Hence, a winter wheat-summer fallow cropping system has been established to obtain adequate moisture for winter wheat production. Current tilled fallow systems receive significant soil erosion through both wind and water. As a result, no-till chemical fallow system...

The seedlings and saplings plant stage determines the successional stages in secondary forest establishment process. estimation on aboveground biomass (AGB) of seedling sapling plants is needed to describe undergrowth's contribution forest. This study's objective was develop allometric equations for accurate AGB for seedlings-saplings 10 20 years old forests. study carried out at sites with ...

In northern Laos, rapid population growth and government policies to reduce the area under slash-and-burn systems have resulted in increased cropping intensity, which has increased weed pressure and reduced yields of upland rice. Promising alternative cropping systems include the use of weed-suppressing and multi-purpose legumes as short-term fallow crops. In this study, Stylosanthes guianensis...

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...

Rates of soil erosion in the dryland cropping region of Saskatchewan are investigated under alternative cropping strategies. Chemical fallow is examined as an alternative to tillage fallow for moisture and soil conservation. Conclusions include: (a) flexible cropping increases net discounted returns and substantially reduces soil erosion compared to the predominant crop rotation; (b) chemical f...

Long-term use of fallow in dryland wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) systems can increase erosion and decrease soil fertility. One possible solution is to grow a green manure crop during the fallow period. To evaluate the short-term effects of substituting a winter legume green manure for fallow in a 2-vr wheat rotation, a series of experiments were conducted in the Sacramento Valley of California f...

The conflict between humans and wildlife is a global issue in the increasingly shared landscape. Human–Wildlife Conflict (HWC) often viewed as threat to most of rural populace world, crop losses remove household’s food supply, are an economic drain on homestead. In this paper, we study extent damage by wild animals two districts Bhutan: Trashiyangtse Tsirang. We surveyed 431 respondents from in...
