- Abstract:
- ... Irrigation is one of the major adaptation strategies to combat the negative impacts of drought on crop yields. However, during droughts, the water resources are limited and determining the exact irrigation amount and its response to crop yields are crucial. Existing crop yield simulation models are data-intensive and a majority of these are point-based. Therefore, this study presents a novel integ ...

- Abstract:
- ... Cover crop (CC) residue decomposition influences the provisioning of agroecosystem services. While several laboratory and field studies have investigated processes and mechanisms of CC residue decomposition at specific point or plot scales, regional assessment of factors controlling decomposition rates (i.e., k-values) in no-till corn (Zea mays L.) systems are currently lacking. Here, we conducted ...

With the heightened concern of its water-quality implications, we need a method to design drainage systems for both crop production and environmental protection. The objective of this research was to develop an empirical equation that estimates the design drainage rate (DDR) for local soil and weather cond ...

- Abstract:

In agroecosystems, individuals disperse from adjacent non-crop hosts and tend to aggregate or cluster within fields. In this study, we characterized the distribution of Euschistus servus (Say) and Euschistus tristigmus (Say) over two years at three southeastern U.S. farmscapes. Stink bugs ...

- Abstract:
- ... Poultry litter (PL) is often used as an alternative nutrient source to inorganic fertilization for crop production in the southeastern US. Historically, PL has been broadcast applied on the soil surface, leaving the nutrients susceptible to runoff. Developments made in recent years allow for placing PL in narrow bands below the soil surface with minimal disturbance. This technological advancement ...

- Abstract:
- ... Feral swine (also called wild pigs; Sus scrofa Linnaeus) are known to cause damage to crops among other types of property damage. This research addresses the lack of economic welfare estimates of wild pig imposed crop damages in the literature by estimating the value of wild pig removal with respect to five crops in nine southern U.S. states. An equilibrium displacement model was used to assess th ...
