Agroforestry, the intentional integration of trees with crops and/or livestock, can lead to multiple economic and ecological benefits compared crops/livestock grown separately. Field experimentation has been primary approach understanding tree–crop interactions inherent in agroforestry. However, number field experiments limited by slow tree maturation difficulty obtaining consistent funding. Models have potential overcome these hurdles rapidly advance agroforestry systems. Hi-sAFe is a...
Climate information plays a foundational role in achieving green recovery and climate neutrality Europe, central one for resilient Europe. This can materialize if is delivered appropriately used effectively. services, understood as the provision of use decision making, have been created to provide addressing these aspects. The utility services determined by level user engagement co-design, employed during their development, while resource limitations any aspects constrain full potential....
The transition toward sustainable agriculture requires rethinking cropping systems in the light of less intensive and chemically reliant practices. Weed management is one target practices to evolve with decreased impact on environment. While softened will lead increased weeds/crops coexistence, it importance assess relative benefits drawbacks new Among potential disease risk may increase if weeds are hosting pathogens. In this study, we assessed for pathogenic generalist fungi known...
An alternative procedure for calculating root water extraction from different depths of a soil profile is proposed. The based on the concept that entails energy expenditure by plant and seeks to minimize total rate during uptake. model, therefore, considers be minimization problem whose solution can sought using dynamic programming framework. We tested model simulating variations content time depth maize-sorghum intercrop experiment reported an 8-day drying cycle Ozier-Lafontaine et al....
In West and Central Africa in the Caribbean, yam is one of most important sources carbohydrates has a great potential to improve food security. The production sector is, however, now challenged by satisfaction evolving consumers' preferences. Since little known about preferences regarding yams' characteristics, product quality, drivers purchase, six focus group discussions were conducted (for total 31 participants). Among purchasing criteria, price was considered more than others. It...
