Long-term effects of crop succession, soil tillage and climate on wheat yield and soil properties

Climate change is increasing crop losses and yield variability with impacts for global food security. In this context, conservation agriculture appears as a potential solution to maintain crop productivity, soil fertility and environmental sustainability. ...

Multi-objective optimization of rainfed and irrigated agricultural areas considering production and environmental criteria: a case study of wheat production in Spain

Gonzalo Guillen Gosalbez, Pavel Vaskan

Meeting the growing food demand with minimum impact on the environment is a major challenge to face for ensuring a more sustainable food production. To tackle this problem, in this article we present a novel systematic method for agriculture planning that ...

Effect of crop rotation on mycorrhizal colonization and wheat yield under different fertilizer treatments

Pierre Rémi Mariotte

Break crops are used in agriculture to reduce soil pathogens and improve yield of subsequent cereal crops. However, they can also affect soil microbial communities beneficial to plant growth including arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Two wheat genotypes ...

Plant uptake of pesticides and human health: dynamic modeling of residues in wheat and human intake

Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Raphael Charles

Human intake of pesticide residues from consumption of processed food plays an important role for evaluating current agricultural practice. We take advantage of latest developments in crop-specific plant uptake modeling and propose an innovative dynamic mo ...

Genotypic variation in drought stress response and subsequent recovery of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Constant Signarbieux

Three wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes, Sadovo, Katya and Prelom, with different tolerance to drought were comparatively evaluated in terms of leaf respiratory responses to progressing dehydration and consecutive rewatering. Under drought stress, the ...

Analysis of intra-country virtual water trade strategy to alleviate water scarcity in Iran

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer

Increasing water scarcity has posed a major constraint to sustain food production in many parts of the world. To study the situation at the regional level, we took Iran as an example and analyzed how an intra-country "virtual water trade strategy" (VWTS) m ...

Environmental analysis of intensity level in wheat crop production using life cycle assessment

Although a priori thinking would suggest that a low intensity crop is environmentally favourable, this assumption ignores the effect of reduced productivity which could simply lead to pollution shifting to other places. A life cycle assessment of the wheat ...

Virtual land use and agricultural trade: Estimating environmental and socio-economic impacts

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer

Liberalization has caused an increase in the global trade of goods and services. In particular, the value and physical volume of agricultural goods traded have largely increased. As the environmental and social consequences of trade are complex, they are r ...

Modelling pesticides residues

Raphael Charles

This work is a contribution to the development of a specific method to assess the presence of residues in agricultural commodities. The following objectives are formulated: to identify and describe main processes in environment — plant exchanges, to build ...
