2006 Free — Agron

: New tools were introduced for calculating the soil surface nitrogen balance at a regional scale. This was designed to help policymakers and farmers evaluate the sustainability of management practices and identify positive environmental externalities. The Evolution of Agronomic Research

: Current studies focus heavily on Abiotic Stress , such as how combined heat and drought affect grain storage protein composition and crop yields. Agron 2006 Free

: Research in this volume highlighted the potential of winter cereal/legume intercropping (such as barley with white lupin) to enhance forage yield and quality under organic farming regulations. Intercropping was shown to increase forage yield by 72% and crude protein concentration by compared to sole cereal crops. : New tools were introduced for calculating the

A central theme of the 2006 inaugural issues was the and their environmental impact. Notable research included: : Research in this volume highlighted the potential

: Modern research now frequently uses Remote Sensing and multispectral cameras to monitor soil organic matter and nitrogen content in real-time.
