Cold stress (CS) affects the survivability, geographical distribution, and yield stability of crops. Suitable management agronomic practices can minimize crop losses associated with cooler environments. However, alone can't support plants adequately to withstand harsh cold. Therefore, exploring cold stress-responsive factors such as genetic, epigenetic, physiological, cellular is crucial. This report discusses on effect, signal perception, transduction, gene expression, molecular phenomena...
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is an important forage legume grown in Kansas, USA and its productivity with cool-season grasses however unknown. The objective of this study was to determine the dry matter yield (DMY) nutritive value alfalfa-grass mixtures compared those alfalfa monoculture without nitrogen fertilization. Three different varieties were planted (reduced-lignin alfalfa, Roundup Ready, conventional alfalfa) two kinds (smooth brome, Bromus inermis Leyss, tall fescue, Festuca...
The United States (US) is the largest alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) producer in world. More than 44% of US produced under rainfed conditions, although it requires a relatively high amount water compared to major field crops. Considering that yield and production have been stagnant country for decades, there need better understand magnitude loss due limitation how far from potential current yields are. In this context, main objective study was estimate gap US. We collected 10 year (2009-2018)...
Abstract Ginger ( Zingiber officinale ) is one of the major high-value cash crops in Nepal. Low yield, conventional farming, and limited access to production resources such as improved cultivars, technologies, extension services are existing problems Nepali ginger farmers. In this study, we conducted community based-participatory research Ilam district, Nepal, 2015–2017. This aimed explore appropriate farming technology considering income, environment. We compared effect four different...
Abstract Background Despite high nutritional and economic value, alfalfa yield has not been improved in the United States. Soil moisture critically influences alfalfa's quality, affecting its physiological processes, nutrient uptake, stand growth. Additionally, maturity stage at harvest can significantly impact both hay quality. Thus, this study aimed to assess effect of different soil levels harvesting times on forage yield, nutritive overall profitability commercially cultivated alfalfa....
Information is lacking about the effect of date a fall cut alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) on dry matter yield (DMY), forage nutritive value, and stands persistence. The objective this study was to determine timing DMY, value stand persistence three varieties: low-lignin Hi–Gest 360, Roundup Ready Tonica, conventional Gunner in Northeastern Kansas United States. field carried out by splitting plot randomized complete block design with four replications. harvesting data different maturity stages...
Agricultural activities are the major anthropogenic source of nitrous oxide (N 2 O), an important greenhouse gas and ozone-depleting substance. However, role forage conservation as a potential N O has rarely been studied. We investigated production from simulated silage three crops—maize, alfalfa, sorghum—used for in US, which comprises over 90% total production. Our findings revealed substantial could be generated, potentially places third largest agricultural sector. Notably, application...
The Midwestern region of the United States has been experiencing periodic forage shortages due to frequent droughts, a growing livestock population, and reliance on traditional farming practices. This study evaluated dry matter yield (DMY), nutritive value, water use efficiency (WUE), economic viability soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] in no-till winter wheat-based rainfed cropping system Midwest, USA. research aimed identify alternative summer crops that are drought-resilient, require lower...

The yield and production of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) have not been significantly improved in Kansas for the last 30 years even though farmers are using varieties. We noted a significant difference between average reported by researchers. magnitude gap its underlying factors still unknown. Thus, understanding potential is essential to meet future forage demand with limited resources. main objective this study was, therefore, quantify current identify yield-limiting factor rainfed grown...
The United States is the largest producer of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) however there still a wide variation in yield among states. Potassium (K) one key plant macronutrients that affect and stand persistence. To best our knowledge, evaluation K rates on forage quality attributes has not been done States. Thus, main objective this study was to evaluate effect along with harvesting intervals (HI) varieties dry matter (DMY), nutritive value, soil content. experiment carried out split-split...
To compensate the US producers affected by "trade war" with China, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) offered direct payments to using 2018 production levels under Market Facilitation Program (MFP). Results revenue efficiency analysis MFP show average in 12 out 14 major corn and soybean producing states were compensated such that their per acre was more than 2017 revenue. Conversely, an producer those experienced drought under-compensated, as total after payment less Use yield,...
