Over 13 million ha of former cropland are enrolled in the US Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), providing well-recognized biodiversity, water quality, and carbon (C) sequestration benefits that could be lost on conversion back to agricultural production. Here we provide measurements greenhouse gas consequences converting CRP land continuous corn, corn–soybean, or perennial grass for biofuel No-till soybeans preceded annual crops created an initial debt 10.6 Mg CO 2 equivalents (CO e)·ha −1...
Globally, between one quarter and one-third of total grains produced each year are lost during storage mainly through infestation insect pests. Among the available control options such as chemical physical techniques, fumigation with aluminum phosphide (AlP) is so far considered best strategy against However, these pests now developing resistance AIP due to its indiscriminate use non-availability any effective alternative option. Resistance among increasing, inhalation has shown adverse...
The present study examined the effect of land conversion on carbon (C) fluxes using eddy covariance technique at seven sites in southwestern Michigan (USA). Four had been managed as grasslands under Conservation Reserve Program USDA. Three fields previously cultivated a corn/soybean rotation with corn until 2008. effects use change were studied during 2009 when six converted to soybean cultivation, seventh site kept grassland. In winter, C neutral while CRP lands sources, average emissions...

Human efforts to grow abundant food through the persistent use of resource-intensive farming practices have resulted in declining soil health, and deterioration ecosystem functions services. Conservation agriculture (CA) has emerged as a practice minimize impacts conventional resource-exhaustive energy-intensive agriculture. Minimum disturbance, permanent cover, diversification are key components CA. Tillage on other hand detrimental effects environment it requires deep inversion with...
Water and energy demands associated with bioenergy crop production on marginal lands are inextricably linked land quality use history. To illustrate the effect of marginality yield water footprints, we analyzed seven large-scale sites (9–21 ha) converted from either Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) or conventional agricultural to no-till soybean for biofuel production. Unmanaged CRP grassland at same location was used as a reference site. Sites were rated using index (LMI) based capability...
Tillage can alter the soil habitats wherein many insect pests and their natural enemies reside during at least part of life cycle. To enhance crop productivity reduce climate change effects, conservation agriculture (CA) with reduced-tillage or no-tillage practices have been advocated to farmers. However, information relating effect CA on is very scarce, in Indo-Gangetic region. In this study, tillage abundance of, damage by, major (foliar aphids, root termites, pink stem borer) wheat...
The physiological age of adult males seven mealybug species was measured in relation to the elongation male pair waxy caudal filaments. These filaments begin emerge after eclosion and reached their maximum length from 29.4-46.6 h. studied were divided into three groups, expressed as percentages total length. Attraction a sex pheromone source significantly higher oldest group (maximum growth) compared with youngest one. Only copulated successfully; few younger tested displayed 'courtship'...
Flag smut incited by Urocystis agropyri has the potential to cause substantial reduction in yield and quality of wheat production. An early precise diagnosis is a key component successful management flag wheat. Therefore, simple molecular assay for rapid detection U. was developed first time. To detect agropyri, species specific primers were comparing partial sequences internal transcribed spacer (ITS) DNA region with related un-related phytopathogenic fungi. The clear amplicons 503 548 bp...
