A total of 23 both qualitative and quantitative traits were measured. The chi-square test analysis showed significant genotypic variation for all qualitative traits. The significant differences (p < 0.001) in all the quantitative traits except for plant height, spike length, and harvest index. There was sizeable quantitative variation among the genotypes indicating the need to exploit a high degree of genetic variation through selection. The first four principal component analyses accounted for 64.82% of the total variation and the cluster analysis discriminated the barley into four discrete clusters. The correlation coefficient indicated significant differences among the correlations of the 10 quantitative traits. Furthermore, G6, G214, and G255 for earliness and G182, G126, and G44 for grain yield. Both qualitative and quantitative traits made it possible to locate potential new sources of genetic variation. Certain barley was thought to be possible sources of various agronomic traits, such as drought tolerance. The characterized Ethiopian landraces can be used to improve barley resilience against climate change and associated conditions and are recommended in breeding programs to improve productivity under different breeding objectives.","PeriodicalId":7567,"journal":{"name":"Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment","volume":"7 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/agg2.70005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142692084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study was conducted to evaluate the genotypic variation for symbiotic N2 fixation traits of faba bean under contrasting phosphorus (P) fertilizer regimes. Twenty and 12 genotypes in the field and greenhouse, respectively, were planted under two P fertilizer regimes (P− and P+ corresponding to 0 and 46 kg/ha) using a randomized complete block design with three replications. Analysis of variance indicated highly significant (p < 0.01) variation among genotypes for all N2 fixation traits under both P regimes, indicating the availability of genotypic variation. Genotypes Obse, Dosha, Didea, Gebelcho, Gora, Moti, and Hachalu had better performance for N2 fixation traits and higher grain yield (GY) across all study conditions. Performances of all N2 fixation traits, except nitrogen harvest index, were better under P+ than under P−. P fertilizer application in the field resulted in 12.3, 12.9%, 18.9%, and 24.2% increase in the number of nodules per plant, nodule dry weight per plant (NDWP), N2 yield (NY), and the amount of N2 fixed (NF), respectively. In the greenhouse, 18.9%, 22.5%, and 27.2% increment was obtained for NDWP, NY, and NF, respectively, due to fertilizer application. Biplot analysis revealed that NF, NY, percentage of nitrogen derived from atmosphere (%Ndfa), shoot nitrogen concentration (ShN), and GY were the traits responsible for large genetic variation for N2 fixation. NF had higher heritability and formed a significant positive correlation with most nitrogen fixation traits, suggesting the potential of the trait to be improved through breeding.","PeriodicalId":7567,"journal":{"name":"Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment","volume":"7 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/agg2.70009","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142665842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Irrigation was applied to Prizm zoysiagrass sprigs across either four or 192 irrigation events from 06:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Prizm zoysiagrass establishment was unaffected by irrigation frequency and averaged 40% turfgrass coverage after 21.6 and 27.3 days in run A and run B, respectively.

Recently, the application of sediments dredged from aquatic waterways has received attention for their potential as an organic amendment to revive degraded agricultural soils. In Ohio, dredged sediment research has largely focused on the success of corn (Zea mays) or soybean (Glycine max) following the application of dredged sediments from the Toledo Harbor, neglecting the potential for dredged sediments from the other eight harbors and waterways to change plant performance as well as failing to quantify benefits for other commonly grown crops in the region. In a greenhouse experiment, we applied dredged sediments from the Lorain Harbor to degraded agricultural soils across a variety of application ratios and quantified changes in germination, height over the growing season, final biomass, and yield for canola (Brassica napus), tall fescue KY 31 (Festuca arundinacea), and corn to better understand the potential for dredged sediments from this location to increase performance for a variety of regionally important plant species. Overall, plants grown on agricultural soils supplemented with dredged sediments from the Lorain Harbor consistently grew taller, faster, and were larger than the 100% dredged sediment treatments. Furthermore, both corn and tall fescue grown on agricultural soil supplemented with dredged sediments had greater yield compared to their counterparts grown on unamended agricultural soil. In whole, outcomes from this research contribute to a growing body of research that support the use of dredged sediments as a soil amendment for agricultural soils.","PeriodicalId":7567,"journal":{"name":"Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment","volume":"7 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/agg2.20559","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142664530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The adoption of cover crops offer weed suppression and soil health benefits but adds management complexity. A survey, targeting farmers and crop consultants, was conducted during the spring of 2023 to evaluate current cover crop management practices and perceptions in Wisconsin cropping systems. The survey included 26 questions across five sections: respondent profile, cover crop adoption and experience, cover crop management ahead of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], cover crop management ahead of corn (Zea mays L.), and general benefits and challenges of cover crop adoption. Farmers and crop consultants represented most respondents, influencing a total of 29,500 and 557,000 ha, respectively. Waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus [Moq.] J.D. Sauer) and giant ragweed (Ambrosia trifida L.) were identified as the most troublesome weeds. Over 90% of respondents use herbicides to terminate their cover crops, and 68% of respondents agree that cover crops improved overall weed control in their farms/clients’ farms to some extent [cereal rye (Secale cereale L.) as main cover crop species]. Additionally, results demonstrate a strong consensus (85%) on cover crops positively influencing water retention, with 98% agreement on their efficacy in reducing soil erosion. Results from this survey can help guide farmers, agronomists, researchers, and policymakers with cover crop adoption, management, policies, incentives, and future research and education needs in Wisconsin and beyond to support the development of more sustainable and efficient weed and crop management strategies.","PeriodicalId":7567,"journal":{"name":"Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment","volume":"7 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/agg2.70007","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142596360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, alternate water-saving methods for rice cultivation can lead to “trade-off” emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O). A field experiment was conducted over one season measuring soil-derived greenhouse gas emissions in irrigated aerobic rice (Oryza sativa L.) under different N fertilizer management at a rate of 220 kg N ha−1, including a nil treatment (“control”); slow release (180 days) polymer-coated urea (“N180”); banded urea applied upfront (“urea”); and three applications of broadcast urea (“urea-split”). The N180 treatment reduced soil N2O emissions compared with urea (p < 0.001), with mean cumulative N2O emissions of 4.36 ± 1.07 kg N ha−1 and 27.9 ± 5.70 kg N ha−1, respectively. Soil N2O fluxes were high, reaching up to 1916 and 2900 µg N m2 h−1 after urea application and irrigation/rain events, and were similar to other irrigated crops grown on heavy textured soils. Fertilizer N management had no effect on soil CH4 emissions, which were negligible across all treatments ranging from 1.28 to 2.75 kg C ha−1 over the growing season. Cumulative soil carbon dioxide emissions ranged from 1936 to 3071 kg C ha−1 and were greatest in N180. This case study provides the first evidence in Australia that enhanced efficiency nitrogen fertilizer can substantially reduce N2O emissions from soils in an aerobic rice system. Our findings reinforce the CH4 mitigation potential of water saving rice approaches and demonstrate the need to consider N fertilizer management to control N2O emissions.","PeriodicalId":7567,"journal":{"name":"Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment","volume":"7 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/agg2.70004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142587955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this research, kinetics of Cd adsorption by biochar, activated carbon, and zeolite in some calcareous soils were investigated. A factorial experiment was conducted based on a completely randomized design with three replications. The factors included three types of adsorbents (sunflower's biochar, activated carbon, and zeolite), four levels of Cd (0, 20, 50, and 100 mg/L as Cd (NO3)2), and three soil samples, differing in their cation exchange capacity, soil organic matter, and calcium carbonate equivalent. Batch experiments were carried out to evaluate Cd adsorption isotherms and kinetic models. Furthermore, the effect of adsorbent dosage, contact time, and initial pH on the adsorption efficiency was examined. Optimizing studies revealed that the best pH for Cd adsorption was 5, while the optimal equilibrium time was achieved at 24 h. The results showed that the Freundlich model fitted to the experimental data slightly better than the Langmuir model. Moreover, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model better described the kinetic behavior of Cd adsorption for the investigated adsorbents. The maximum Cd removal efficiency (99%) belonged to soil No. 2 with biochar. Lastly, it was concluded that sunflower biochar, a cheap and cost-effective adsorbent, had high efficiency in Cd adsorption in calcareous soils.","PeriodicalId":7567,"journal":{"name":"Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment","volume":"7 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/agg2.70003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142579697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We demonstrate that the best RNN model incorporates five neuron layers, with the first and second containing 90 long short-term memory neurons. The third layer implements one gated recurrent units neuron. The fourth segment incorporates one RNN network, while the output layer is designed by using a single neuron exhibiting a rectified linear activation function. By utilizing this RNN digital filter, we introduce two variations: (1) a scaled RNN model to tune the filter to the signal of interest, and (2) a moving average filter to eliminate harmonic oscillations of the output waveforms. The RNN models are contrasted with conventional digital Butterworth, Chebyshev I, Chebyshev II, and elliptic infinite impulse response (IIR) configurations. The RNN digital filtering schemes avoid introducing unwanted oscillations, which makes them more suitable for VF than their IIR counterparts.

One of the causes for the decline is assumed to be the long-term monoculture production system that results in the buildup of plant parasitic nematodes (PPNs). Therefore, the population and diversity of PPNs were investigated by conducting soil sampling using a biosequential method (simultaneous sampling of the soils of adjacent cultivated land [CL] and uncultivated land [UL]) and a chronosequential method (taking soil samples at different times from the same site). The samples were subjected to analysis using standard procedures to determine the change in the population, and identify the genera of PPNs. Additionally, a pot experiment that involved fumigation was conducted on top soils sampled from the CL and UL of the plantation. The results revealed that about 10 genera of PPNs (Meloidogyne, Helicotylenchus, Hoplolaimus, Rotylenchulus, Hemicycliophora, Discriconemella, Xhiphinema, Pratylenchus, Tylenchorhynchus, and Scutellonema) were detected, of which the first four were newly identified. The population density and the number of genera of PPNs found in the CL were 36-fold and 4.5-fold higher than those found in the UL, respectively. Furthermore, fumigation reduced the population of the PPNs by 61% and increased production of cane biomass by 63%. It is concluded that the soils of the WSSE are infested by PPNs, which consequently have detrimental effects on sugarcane growth. While amending soil fertility is crucial, reversing the decline in sugarcane yields also necessitates implementing an integrated soil management system that includes PPNs.","PeriodicalId":7567,"journal":{"name":"Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment","volume":"7 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/agg2.70006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142579745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
