Mitigating nutrient loss is a prerequisite of sustainable agriculture in the tropics. We evaluated three soil and water conservation technologies (mulching, minimum tillage and tied ridging) for two cropping seasons (long ...

Dependence on uncertain rainfall and exposure to unmitigated climate risk are major obstacles in efforts to sustainably intensify agricultural production and enhance rural livelihoods. There is generally enough seasonal ...

The WAVE-model (Water and Agrochemicals in the soil and Vadose Environment), simulating one-dimensional transport of water, solute and heat in the unsaturated zone, was used to simulate the behaviour of water and nitrogen ...

Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) are often used for estimating hydraulic properties such as the moisture retention characteristic and the pressure head-hydraulic conductivity relationship. Both properties are essential for ...
