The objective of the study was to evaluate agronomic performance carrot cultivars subjected different levels water supply. experiment conducted in a randomized block design, split-plot scheme with four replicates. Five irrigation depths were used plot, one replace 100% crop’s evapotranspiration (ETc), two deficit (50% and 75% ETc) excess (125% 150% ETc). Four subplots: Brasília, Alvorada, Esplanada, Nantes. Two cultivation cycles carried out, first lasting 121 d second 103 after sowing. following variables evaluated: total fresh mass plant, mass, length, length aerial part, average diameter, volume, green shoulder, crop productivity, potential plants. Brasília cultivar had better development Esplanada less adapted studied environment. All affected by stress caused lack water. Carrot must be out depth equal for region conditions similar those present study.

Crop rotation and diversification (CRD) are crucial strategies in sustainable agriculture, offering multiple benefits to both farmers the environment. By alternating crops or introducing diverse plant species, CRD practices improve soil fertility, reduce pest populations, enhance nutrient availability. For example, legume-based rotations increase nitrogen levels through biological fixation, reducing need for synthetic fertilizers. Moreover, these promote more efficient water use, reliance on fertilizers minimizing risk of pests diseases. This review synthesizes findings from recent research role enhancing agriculture resilience, highlighting potential contributions towards climate change mitigation adaptation. Specific crop systems, such as cereal–legume temperate regions intercropping maize with beans tropical environments, reviewed provide a comprehensive understanding their applicability different agroecological contexts. The also addresses challenges related implementing practices, market demand knowledge transfer, suggests solutions encourage broader adoption. Lastly, environmental benefits, including carbon sequestration reduced greenhouse gas emissions, discussed, building resilient agricultural systems. Collectively, this paper emphasizes importance methods provides key insights researchers effectively integrate into farming

North Africa (NA) is supposed to lower emissions in its agriculture honor climate action commitments and impulse sustainable development across Africa. Agriculture has many assets challenges that make it fit use the tools of Climate-Smart (CSA) for mitigation purposes. This study represents a first attempt understand if CSA practices are sufficiently established NA contribute reducing emissions. A PRISMA-inspired systematic review was carried out on an initial 147 studies retrieved from Scopus, Google Scholar, Web Science databases, as well gray literature. 11 were included final analysis since they report co-benefits CSA-based within NA. bias risk identified around optimal inclusion produced French, specific plan set minimization. Synthesis results revealed most focused either improving soil quality (nine studies) or managing enteric fermentation (two studies).

This review is motivated by the urgent need to improve soil organic carbon (SOC) assessment methods, which are vital for enhancing health, addressing climate change, and promoting farming. By employing a structured approach that involves systematic literature search, data extraction, analysis, 86 relevant studies were identified. These evaluated address following specific research questions: (a) What state-of-the-art approaches in sampling, modeling, acquisition? (b) key challenges, open issues, potential advancements, future directions needed enhance effectiveness of farming practices? The findings indicate while traditional SOC techniques remain foundational, there significant shift towards incorporating model-based machine learning models, proximal spectroscopy, remote sensing technologies. emerging primarily serve as complementary laboratory analyses, overall accuracy reliability assessments. Despite these challenges such spatial temporal variability, high financial costs, limitations measurement continue hinder progress. also highlights necessity scalable, cost-effective, precise tools, alongside supportive policies incentives encourage farmer adoption. Finally, development “System-of-Systems” integrates sensing, modeling offers promising pathway balancing cost accuracy, ultimately supporting practices.
