DOI: 10.1071/cp20499
Abstract: Abstract. Soil acidification and declining fertility are widespread in sub‐Saharan Africa. Nutrient depletion is mainly related to nutrient mining driven by biomass removal without replenishment of nutrients through use of fertilisers. Concomitant acidification is due… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/agec.12431
Abstract: Malnourishment continues to remain a challenge in developing countries. As the undernourished are largely smallholder farmers, it is widely assumed that farm diversification and mixed crop‐livestock agricultural systems can help alleviate this problem. However, empirical… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.733116
Abstract: Plant breeding for intercropping is lagging because most varieties currently available in the market are selected for sole cropping systems. The present study analyzed the response of durum wheat (12 varieties) and faba bean (3… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/su13105678
Abstract: Competition over land between food and fodder production, along with recurrent droughts and increasing population, has put mixed crop–livestock farming systems in the drylands of sub-Saharan Africa under pressure. Dual-purpose crops hold huge potential to… read more here.

Rational budgeting approach as a nutrient management tool for mixed crop-swine farms in Korea
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences"
DOI: 10.5713/ajas.19.0640
Abstract: Objective Due to rapid economic return, mixed crop-swine farming systems in Korea have become more intensive. Intensive farming practices often cause nutrient surpluses and lead to environmental pollution. Nutrient budgets can be used to evaluate… read more here.
