-
(Frontiers in Earth Science; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2021)Establishing worldwide sustainable and phosphorus efficient cropping systems is urgently needed because the supply of suitable phosphate rock is limited, and excess phosphorus in streams causes eutrophication. One of the ...
-
(Agricultural Water Management; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2022)UAV-based multispectral vegetation indices are often used to assess crop performance and water consumptive use. However, their ability to assess the interaction between water, especially deficit irrigation, and nitrogen ...
-
(Agricultural Systems; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2021)Sub-Saharan Africa has long been beset with food insecurity. Investment in small-scale irrigation may provide a solution to address the challenge by extending crop production into the dry season. We present an agent-based ...
-
(Maternal & Child Nutrition; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2021)Some agricultural practices, such as irrigation, have the potential to buffer seasonal dietary gaps and through increased production and consumption improve diets, particularly of the rural poor relying on subsistence ...
-
(Water; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2022)Agriculture in Africa is adversely affected by the loss of soil fertility. Conservation agriculture (CA) was introduced to curb the loss of soil fertility and water shortages and improve crop productivity. However, information ...
-
(Earth’s Future; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2021)Sub-Saharan Africa has long been beset with food insecurity and energy poverty. Expanding irrigated agriculture can help boost food production in the region, but this requires energy for accessing water, especially in ...
-
(Agriculture and Human Values; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2022)Women’s empowerment is often an important goal of development interventions. This paper explores local perceptions of empowerment in the Upper East Region of Ghana and the pathways through which small-scale irrigation ...
-
(Agricultural Water Management; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2021)Livestock is an integral part of the agricultural system in sub-Saharan Africa, serving as a food source, income, fertilizer, and power for farming and transportation. However, the productivity of the livestock system has ...
-
(CATENA; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2022)Despite Ethiopia’s significant livestock population, the largest in Africa, productivity is constrained by the seasonality of feed quality and quantity. Developing improved fodder production systems can contribute to poverty ...

(Agricultural Water Management; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2021)Livestock is an integral part of the agricultural system in sub-Saharan Africa, serving as a food source, income, fertilizer, and power for farming and transportation. However, the productivity of the livestock system has ...
-
(Journal of Environmental Quality; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2021)The hydrology of mountainous watersheds in the western United States is significantly influenced by snow year-round. It is widely known that topography affects precipitation; however, the knowledge of how watershed rainfall ...
-
(Agricultural Systems; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2020)Maize (Zea mays L.) is the essential staple in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and Tanzania in particular; the crop accounts for over 30% of the food production, 20% of the agricultural gross domestic product (GDP) and over 75% ...
-
(The Journal of Development Studies; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2021)In recent years, farmer-led irrigation development has gained the interest of development partners and governments in the Global South following its success in enhancing agricultural production and livelihoods in South ...
-
(Environmental Management; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2021)This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of best management practices (BMPs) to reduce soil erosion in Gumara watershed of the Abbay (Upper Blue Nile) Basin using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) ...
-
(Geoderma; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2021)Closing the yield gap and enhancing efficiency in rainfed maize production systems in Ethiopia requires urgent action in increasing the productivity of degraded agricultural land. The degradation of land through continuous ...
-
(ES Food & Agroforestry; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2020)The majority of the world’s undernourished people are located in developing countries, including Sub-Saharan Africa. One way of combatting food insecurity is to increase food production and promote the consumption of ...
-
(Water; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2020)The effects of soil data sources on the performance of hydrologic model simulations remain poorly understood compared to the effects of other data inputs. This paper investigated the effects of different soil datasets in ...
-
(Agronomy Journal; and observations on the same established stands were made in two consecutive years. Varietal differences were observed in plant height (Mulato-II: 42 cm; Mulato-I: 72 cm), 2021)Mulato-I and Mulato-II
-
(Remote Sensing; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2021)Drought is one of the least understood and complex natural hazards often characterized by a significant decrease in water availability for a prolonged period. It can be manifested in one or more forms as meteorological, ...
-
(Environmental Modelling & Software; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2021)APEX (Agricultural Policy/Environmental eXtender) is an oft-used agroecosystem model but has limited use in groundwater-driven watersheds due to a simplistic representation of groundwater processes. This paper presents the ...
