Summary: In this study, actual crop evapotranspiration (ETa) and stagewise crop coefficient (K-c) of transplanted puddled rice were determined using a modified non-weighing paddy lysimeter. The results were compared with indirect methods, and it was found that the FAO Penman-Monteith equation performed well, while the pan evaporation approach underestimated the ETa. Furthermore, actual K-c values were obtained and compared with FAO values. This methodology can be used to improve irrigation scheduling under similar agro-climatic conditions.

Summary: Accurate measurements of actual evapotranspiration and crop coefficients are crucial for improving irrigation scheduling. The eddy covariance technique was used to measure evapotranspiration and crop coefficients in tropical lowland rice in eastern India, providing valuable insights into water requirements and evapotranspiration dynamics of the crops in different growth stages and seasons. Further research is needed to refine crop coefficient values for regional-scale irrigation planning.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of groundwater depth and distance to a seasonally active river on the nitrogen fixation rate of Alhagi sparsifolia, a dominant deep-rooted legume species in the southern fringe of the Taklimakan Desert. The results show that the nitrogen fixation rate of A. sparsifolia decreases with groundwater depth and increases with distance from the river channel. It is found that the spatial pattern in nitrogen fixation is mainly regulated by the salinity gradient formed by groundwater flow and streamflow.

Summary: Amaranths are multi-use crop species known for their tolerance to salinity stress. Among the eight tested cultivars, Don Leon and K91 showed tolerance to moderate salt stress (50 mM NaCl) and sodium accumulation affected various physiological parameters differently depending on the cultivar, indicating different relative importance of ionic and osmotic phases of salt stress among cultivars.

Summary: This study evaluated three models for estimating daily evapotranspiration (ET) and found that the PM-K-c model performed better after calibration, while the R-K model and AA model underestimated the daily ET of winter wheat and rice. The AA model showed better simulation results, especially for rice.

Summary: The study found that canopy transpiration in vineyards irrigated with high-salinity water was significantly lower compared to those irrigated with low-salinity water. Additionally, the response patterns of canopy resistance to global radiation and vapor pressure deficit varied at different salinity levels.

Summary: Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) from grain legumes is important for global agricultural ecosystems, but quantification of N fixing rates and crop yields remains inadequate. In this study, the BNF capability of legume crops is incorporated into a vegetation model and evaluated against observations. The model generally captures the response to management practices, although some deviations from observations were noted. Globally, BNF is mainly influenced by soil moisture, temperature, and N fertilizer addition. The estimated BNF inputs for soybean and all pulses align with previous estimates, highlighting the significance of accounting for legume N fixation in modeling C-N interactions in agricultural ecosystems.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the potential of leaf area index (LAI) and multispectral vegetation indices (VIs) obtained by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for estimating the crop coefficient (Kc) value for maize on a field scale. The results showed that the RFR algorithm effectively estimated maize Kc values based on ground-based LAI and UAV-based VIs, which could provide a potential solution for the distribution of water use and precision irrigation on a field scale.

Summary: Film mulching ridge-furrow planting (RF) is an important dry farming mode for wheat, but it often causes lodging due to lignin accumulation in the stems. This study investigated the effects of regulating the population distribution on lodging occurrence in wheat and found that adjusting the population distribution can improve lodging resistance by enhancing the mechanical properties of the stems and promoting lignin synthesis and accumulation. The light environment plays a crucial role in lignin biosynthesis and lodging resistance.

Summary: This study conducted a field experiment to test different methods and species of cover crops. The results showed that early establishment of cover crops, specifically direct sowing or sowing 10 days before harvest, had a positive impact on biomass formation and weed suppression. The performance of cover crops varied depending on the species, sowing date, and weather conditions, but a diverse cover crop mixture showed more stable performance under variable weather conditions.

Summary: This study used simulation experiments to evaluate the effects of planting time, nitrogen rate, and crop variety choice on potato productivity in Ethiopia. The results showed that shifting planting time forward and changing the nitrogen application rate had greater productivity benefits than switching varieties. In the mid-century climate period, early planting of medium and long maturity varieties with higher nitrogen rates showed potential adaptation benefits.

Summary: This study aims to establish critical nitrogen dilution curves (CNDC) for maize and diagnose the nitrogen status under different mulching planting patterns. The results showed no significant differences in CNDC and its estimated parameters across years and mulching planting patterns, suggesting the establishment of a universal CNDC model for maize nitrogen diagnosis.

Summary: The intensification of Mediterranean farming systems has had negative impacts on the environment, but agroforestry systems can address these issues. This study developed a practical methodology to assess the sustainability of Mediterranean agroforestry systems and found that they provide agro-environmental benefits and economic profitability, although they also require increased workload.
