Evaluation of three field-based methods for quantifying soil carbon
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
Three advanced technologies to measure soil carbon (C) density (g C m−2) are deployed in the field and the results compared against those obtained by the dry combustion (DC) method. The advanced methods are: a) Laser ...

Increasing wheat yields sustainability through agronomic means
(CIMMYT, 1998)
This paper examines common factors that constrain wheat yields: insufficient nutrients (using nitrogen as an example); problems of late planting and poor crop establishment; suboptimal water management; lodging; and weeds. ...
