Intercropping cereals with N-fixing legume species: a method for conserving soil resources in low-input systems
(CIMMYT, 1993)
The natural resources of the developing world are becoming increasingly threatened as the agricultural sector intensifies. A major resource being lost is the topsoil. Low levels of soil organic matter and the incomplete ...

Applications of raised-bed planting systems to wheat
(CIMMYT, 1997)
Wheat has traditionally been planted in solid stands, especially in irrigated environments and rainfed production systems with moderate to high rainfall. Wheat is usually planted by either drilling closely spaced rows 10-30 ...

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 ...
