In today's world, agriculture is not only about food production but also a critical factor in global environmental change, economic stability, and human health, among other aspects. With population growth increasingly scarce resources, exploring sustainable development of systems has become crucial. Achieving this goal requires striking delicate balance security, development, ecological environment, health. Traditional approaches to agricultural research often focus solely on singular domains, overlooking the inherent connections interactions environmental, socioeconomic, health dimensions. This perspective limits our comprehensive understanding systems. Environmental footprint assessments can be integrated with economic, systemic, decision models analyze issues within integration accurately captures diversity, overlap, accumulation, heterogeneity pressures resulting from natural factors. Therefore, we propose an innovative conceptual framework that considers dimensions as crucial components, indicators at its core, link various stages farm table. constructs evidence gap map, integrating dispersed data perspectives existing literature, thus showing knowledge gaps across these domains. Such interdisciplinary approach provides more multidimensional complexity reveals potential synergies conflicts thereby guiding cautious policy-making. Importantly, it direction for future achieve systems, emphasizing necessity comprehensive, perspective, particularly strengthening studies composited footprints, viewing entire farm-to-table continuum holistically. Stakeholders must collaborate coordinate objectives drive

Field based evaluation of wheat cultivars under graded nitrogen levels in North-West India

Frontiers in Agronomy, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 7

Nutrients uptake by plants from the soil depends on fertilizers applied, physical and chemical properties of soil, various environmental biological factors. Each nutrients have a positive or negative interaction with other in terms their availability plants. The purpose this study is to investigate effects successive increases nitrogen (N) macronutrient uptake, system productivity (SP), wheat equivalent yield (WEY) wheat. This was carried out split plot design three distinct N input (N0, N75, N150) main ten cultivars sub-plot over two consecutive years (2020-21 2021-22) New Delhi, India. highest SP 9.85 t/ha -1 , P & K grain (PUG) 21.6 23.8 kg/ha straw (PUS) 13 106.4 total phosphorus (TPU) 34.6 130.4 were obtained ‘HD 3249’ cultivar, followed 3117’. application N75 N150 increased 57.9% 99.2%, WEY 45.2% 61.5%, PUG 105.2% 227%, PUS 94% 182%, TPU 100.5% 208.7%, respectively, N0. findings indicate that fertilization positively influences wheat, 3117’ emerging as efficient candidates for optimizing utilization. These hold significant potential breeding programs aimed at enhancing nutrient while maintaining productivity. Furthermore, incorporating nitrification inhibition traits into these recommended develop climate-smart varieties.

Assessment of Blue Water Migration and Efficiency in Water-Saving Irrigation Paddy Rice Fields Using the Water Flow Tracking Method

Agronomy, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 14(1), С. 166 - 166

Опубликована: Янв. 11, 2024

Although irrigation systems largely sustain global agricultural production, their efficiency is often alarmingly low. While water (blue water) critical for the water-saving of rice with a high demand, process and utilization need clarification. In this study, we examined three commonly used drainage patterns (frequent shallow (FSI), wet (WSI), rain-catching controlled (RCI)) in fields. We developed tracking method flow decomposition, which includes evapotranspiration (IET), (IDR), leakage (IPC), field residual (IRE). Using method, established an evaluation index system comprehensive method. Our relevant to describing performance under varying patterns. The results revealed that average input between 2015 2018 was roughly 312.5 mm, wherein IET accounted 148 mm. However, more than 50% outflow, comprising IDR, IPC, IRE, exceeded total amount input. mean values gross (GIE), net (NIE), effective consumption ratio (ECR) all treatments three-year period were 0.63, 0.47, 0.75, respectively. Additionally, use significantly higher dry years compared years. fuzzy composite rating models from RCI, WSI, FSI, descending order, precipitation conditions. RCI maintained value (greater 3.0) different Previous calculations disregarded blue–green migration did not differentiate direction fields, creating significant biases outcomes. This study’s offers new approach evaluate blue resources farmland.
