Evapotranspiration in Mid-South Rice Production
… systems under the reality of climate change and an increasing global population, rice production systems require solutions to a number of issues, including a limited water supply. As producers explore new strategies for conserving local water resources to continue to maintain yields, new …

Interface durability of externally bonded GFRP to normal and high-performance concrete
… are being increasingly used for seismic retrofit and rehabilitation of concrete structures. Glass fibers exhibit high strength to weight ratio and low cost in comparison to carbon and aramid fibers. However, previous studies have shown that glass fibers are vulnerable to attack caused by harsh …

Soil drying and re-wetting effects on phosphorus availability and plant yields
Water and phosphorus (P) are essential resources for crop production, yet both are increasingly limited, threatening global food security. Soil drying and re-wetting (DRW) has reportedly increased P availability in numerous soils, whilst intermittent irrigation that applies less water than …

APPLICATION OF CARBON CREDITS IN THE ITALIAN AND PAKISTANI AGRI-FOOD SECTOR
… Italian agri-food sector, famous for its diverse and high-quality production in Europe, is increasingly under pressure to address its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly from methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), which contribute significantly to climate change. Pakistan’s agri-food …

AGRO-HYDROLOGICAL MODELS FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF INNOVATIVE IRRIGATION PRACTICES IN RICE AREAS
… outlined research needs through: I) developing and applying a prototype agro‐hydrological framework to assess the effects of alternative rice irrigation strategies on the water resource system at the irrigation district scale (San Giorgio di Lomellina district, about 1,000 hectares); II) using …
