Summary: The study found that no-tillage systems in semi-arid conditions for durum wheat cultivation can achieve higher grain yields, especially in dry years. Yield components and quality parameters are more affected by climatic conditions rather than tillage treatments.

Summary: The study found that reduced tillage and no tillage can improve the photosynthetic capacity of summer maize and the filling of inferior kernels, ultimately promoting these processes by regulating soil water content and root system morphology.

Summary: Wheat production in Texas relies on conventional tillage and summer fallow, which can degrade the soil. This study compared different tillage methods and summer cropping on wheat yield, and found that the impact varied across regions and years. However, overall, summer cropping had a minimal negative effect on wheat production.

Summary: The application of foliar nitrogen in later stages of wheat growth has been found to be effective in reducing drought stress and improving grain filling. Different forms of nitrogen have varying effects on grain filling, with NH4+-N prolonging the filling period and CO(NH2)(2) and NO3--N accelerating the filling rate. Additionally, the application of nitrogen influences hormone levels and gene expression in wheat grains.

Summary: Reduced tillage can increase soil water storage and improve the yield of winter wheat. However, there is limited research on nitrogen fertilizer rates in reduced tillage systems. This long-term study found that the agronomic optimal nitrogen rates for winter wheat ranged from 70 to 79 kg N ha-1, while the economic optimal rates ranged from 59 to 71 kg N ha-1. Applying 60-70 kg N ha-1 would optimize yield and profitability in dryland continuous reduced tillage wheat production.

Summary: Extreme climate events of drought are becoming more common in the Mediterranean areas, requiring farmers to adapt agricultural practices for sustainability. This field study investigated the effects of seasonal rainfall, tillage, and crop systems on wheat yield and weed parameters. While Growing Season Rainfall was found to be the most influential factor on yield parameters and weed population, the study also found that no-tillage systems and rotation cropping can increase weed density without reducing wheat yield.

Summary: There is a growing interest in the Mediterranean regions to switch to conservation agriculture (CA) to address climate change and soil deterioration issues. This study investigated the impact of two soil management systems (CA after 10/11 years switching vs. conventional tillage) on grain and pasta quality of two Tunisian durum wheat varieties (Karim and Monastir) over a 2-year-long experiment. The results showed that long-term CA had a significant impact on grain quality, dough texture profile, and pasta quality, improving protein content and wet gluten, reducing pasta cooking time and cooking loss.

Summary: Low wheat grain yield under conservation tillage has been reported. In this 11-year field experiment, it was found that prolonging the growth duration through residue retention in no-till management can increase grain yield. However, there was no significant difference in yield between no-till with residue retention and conventional tillage with residue removal treatments.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of different tillage systems on various winter bread wheat genotypes and their stability performance in terms of yield and agronomical characteristics. It was found that grain yield under the NT system was positively associated with the number of grains per spike and plant height, indicating that these traits could be targeted for future wheat breeding.

Summary: Climate warming has a significant impact on the protein formation of winter wheat grains. Through field warming trials, it was found that warming advances the growth period of winter wheat, improves its physiological characteristics, increases nitrogen accumulation, and enhances grain protein content. These findings provide valuable insights into the effect of climate warming on winter wheat.

Summary: Optimizing soil properties can enhance crop growth and reduce stress damage. This study focused on the suitable soil conditions for wheat growth in a rice-wheat breeding scheme under high rainfall. The findings suggest that no-tillage treatment helps retain soil moisture, enhances root development and tillering, and leads to higher grain yields in wheat crops.

Summary: The research aimed to determine the effects of different tillage systems on runoff and erosion in two locations in Southern Turkey. Results showed differences in runoff generation and runoff coefficient between fallow and sainfoin plots at both locations, with reduced tillage system reducing sediment yield in wheat and sainfoin parcels.

Summary: Drought is a pressing issue worldwide, and selecting wheat genotypes adapted to changing climatic conditions is crucial. This study evaluated 156 bread wheat genotypes, including landraces and modern varieties, under different drought treatments. The results showed that landraces had higher yield stability and protein content under drought stress, suggesting their potential for developing drought-tolerant modern wheat varieties. Effective utilization of landraces in breeding programs is important for developing climate-resilient wheat varieties.

Summary: This study evaluated the changes in nutrient uptake, nutrient use efficiency, and yield of 20 cotton cultivars released in the USA between 1953 and 2018. The results showed that modern cotton cultivars have increased total nutrient uptake but slower improvement in nutrient use efficiency. The findings highlight the potential for enhanced nutrient uptake traits in cotton.
