1) The document describes a decision support tool being developed to increase farmer adoption of cover crops by demonstrating their short-term benefits for soil water and nitrogen conservation. 2) An on-farm network trial across 6 states is measuring factors like nitrate loss, infiltration rates, biomass production, and nitrogen content in cover crop and no-cover crop treatments. 3) Real-time data and modeling tools will provide farmers comparisons to help quantify cover crops' water retention and nitrogen contributions to subsequent cash crops. The goal is to overcome perceptions that cover crops reduce water and increase fertilizer needs.

This document summarizes a study on using cover crops to improve water quality and reduce soil compaction in coastal plain soils. The project established demonstration sites to evaluate the impacts of cover crops on soil moisture, water infiltration and runoff. Sensors were installed to automatically monitor soil moisture, and flumes were set up to measure surface water runoff. Preliminary results found that rye cover crops helped maintain soil moisture for cash crops and reduced water runoff compared to areas without cover crops. The project aims to demonstrate these benefits to farmers and develop tools for monitoring soil moisture with Internet of Things technology.

This document summarizes a study that evaluated ecosystem services under different landscape management scenarios in Australia. The study assessed carbon sequestration, agriculture production, water, biodiversity and timber across 5 future land use scenarios: business-as-usual, mosaic farming landscapes, eco-centric, agro-centric, and abandoned land use. The analysis found that business-as-usual and abandoned land use were not sustainable and led to declining ecosystem services. Agro-centric produced good economic outputs but poor environmental outcomes. Mosaic farming landscapes and eco-centric produced better environmental outcomes but eco-centric was not commercially attractive. Supplemental payments were needed to restore the environment.

Approaches to Improving Irrigation Performance and Water Use
Approaches to Improving Irrigation Performance and Water UseInternational Water Management Institute (IWMI)
This document discusses approaches to improving irrigation performance and water use in agriculture. It provides context on the importance of irrigation performance given population growth, changing diets, and water constraints. Key innovations that can improve performance are discussed for the farm/field level and system operations level, including laser land leveling, sprinkler systems, and use of new technologies. The document emphasizes that improving performance requires strengthening links between irrigation systems and farms, as well as leadership to set clear objectives, provide resources, and reward performance. Overall, better irrigation performance can reduce water diversions while enabling food security if it also increases farmers' livelihoods.The Dry arc in brief
The DryArc Initiative aims to develop innovative and resilient agri-food systems in dryland regions through a global partnership. It will pursue two pathways: 1) combining existing technologies into systemic innovations tailored to each context, and 2) accelerating the scaling up of impact-targeted innovations. Over four phases from 2019-2030, DryArc will co-design solutions with stakeholders, strengthen capacities, and establish an enabling environment through decision support, monitoring and evaluation, and attracting investment. The goal is to transform agri-food systems and support food/nutrition security and employment in dryland regions vulnerable to problems like land degradation, water scarcity, and climate change impacts.

This document discusses the impacts of climate change on agriculture in Africa and policies to promote food security and mitigate climate change through agriculture. It finds that climate change will significantly reduce crop yields but economic factors can lessen the impacts. Existing climate-smart agriculture practices can help increase production and reduce hunger and emissions to some degree. However, greater investment in technologies, irrigation, and research are needed to provide full adaptation and mitigation. The same policies that promote agricultural growth, like research and irrigation investment, also support climate goals when focused on efficiency. Africa could achieve climate-smart growth through agricultural emissions reductions paired with reduced deforestation.Building a research-for-development partnership for thriving drylands in a ch...

This document outlines the objectives of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices and discusses integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) specifically. It finds that while ISFM achieves CSA objectives of increasing productivity, adaptation, and mitigation, its adoption rate is the lowest. This is dubbed "the unholy cross." Reasons for low adoption include labor intensity of ISFM, high fertilizer costs, and weak extension promoting organics. The document recommends increasing extension/marketing budgets, training agents, converting fertilizer subsidies to payments for ecosystem services, and investing in storage/marketing to increase ISFM adoption.5.

What do we have to lose? Generating crop diversity and threat monitoring info...Bioversity International
Ehsan Dulloo, Bioversity International Conservation and Availability Programme Leader, presented at the international conference Enhanced genepool utilization - Capturing wild relative and landrace diversity for crop improvement, in Cambridge, UK, 16-20 June 2014.
It is said that “you can't manage what you don't measure”. The unprecedented global loss of agricultural species, varieties and associated traditional knowledge is of increasing concern, threatening the provisioning, regulatory, supporting and cultural ecosystem services of importance to the livelihoods of the poor as well as the welfare of broader society. Such services include such public goods as maintaining agroecosystem resilience and future option values.
Unfortunately, although many crop genetic resources (CGR) are widely recognized as being threatened, there is only limited information available regarding actual status. Only isolated efforts at monitoring have been undertaken. Conventional monitoring efforts, where they exist at all, have been subject to limitations due to ad hoc approaches that lack rigorous survey and sampling approaches, do not adequately account for search effort costs or systematically involve the participation of local-level actors, and are usually based on collections instead of direct observations in the field. Furthermore, the links between specific CGR conservation levels/configurations and the provision of specific ecosystem services are poorly understood.
There is thus an urgent need for the development of a systematic approach to the monitoring of CGR. This presentation draws on the outcome of a recent Bioversity International/CIP international expert workshop aimed at the development of such an approach. The proposed multi-scale approach builds on a wide range of existing monitoring experiences and a review of the literature related to agricultural biodiversity-relevant ecosystem services. A number of proposed indicators that could be used to assess CGR threat levels, be used for monitoring purposes and/or assist in evaluating ecosystem service public/private good trade-offs arising from agricultural intensification are presented, with a view to supporting the potential for prioritizing, designing and implementing on-farm/in situ conservation measures that actively involve farmers, support livelihoods, complement existing ex situ conservation efforts and facilitate access and benefit sharing.

AMC Evaluation Final Report 30-9-2015
This document provides a final report on a food security evaluation conducted in Nicaragua. The evaluation assessed a food security project run by Acción Médica Cristiana (AMC) that promoted various agricultural practices across 38 communities. The methodology included interviews with project participants and non-participants, as well as focus groups. Key findings included low adoption of soil conservation practices and animal containment. Higher adoption was seen for pest management and vegetable production when inputs were provided, but adoption decreased without continued inputs. The evaluation concluded the interventions showed little sustainability or impact on overall food security. It recommended promoting vegetables without providing inputs and focusing training on demand-driven practices appropriate to the local context.

The document summarizes a meta-analysis that compared the nitrate removal performance of different substrates used in denitrifying bioreactors. It found that wood media had the highest nitrate removal rate (NRR) and percentage (NRE), followed by mulch media, nutshell-based media, and inorganic media. However, when considering cost-effectiveness, woodchip and corn cob were the most economical natural organic carbon substrates. Overall, the analysis suggests that mulch media is the optimal material for nitrate removal due to its low cost and potential to overcome deficiencies in other media types.

The document summarizes an investigation into phosphorus transport dynamics in subsurface drainage using high-frequency measurements. Key findings include:
1) TRP concentration had a dynamic pattern that was strongly influenced by drainage discharge levels, highlighting the need for high-resolution sampling.
2) Event flows contributed 78% of the total TRP load despite comprising only 50% of total flow.
3) Flow-proportional sampling strategies provided more accurate TRP load estimates than time-proportional strategies and were more cost-effective. Targeting high flow periods is important for reducing phosphorus loss.

This document summarizes a study that evaluated a procedure for prioritizing maintenance of agricultural drainage ditches. The study measured the critical shear stress of soils using a cohesive strength meter to assess their susceptibility to erosion. Soils with higher root densities and those treated with mixed lime showed higher critical shear stresses, meaning they were less susceptible to erosion. Measurements of pressure on the soil surface during testing were mostly lower than estimates from other studies. The procedure effectively identified the relative erosion resistance of different soils, aiding prioritization of drainage ditch maintenance needs.

This document summarizes an applied research and demonstration project evaluating soil and water management practices in undulating soils in southwestern Manitoba. The project aims to reduce nitrogen, phosphorus and salt export while improving drought resiliency. Preliminary results show tile drainage is lowering water tables most in lower landscape positions, with soil moisture responding rapidly in drained areas. Tile flow rates increase with decreasing elevation. Water quality measurements also show higher salt concentrations in lower positions. Next steps include water quality treatment analysis, long-term monitoring, modeling, knowledge transfer and reporting.

This document summarizes a coordinated research network studying the impacts of 4R nutrient stewardship practices on crop yields, soil health, and nutrient losses across sites in North America. The network included 8 research sites across 6 states/provinces from 2017-2020. Treatments included different fertilizer application timings, placements, sources, and rates. Standardized data collection allowed comparisons across sites. Preliminary findings showed 4R and advanced 4R practices improved nutrient use efficiency and reduced nitrogen losses while maintaining crop yields. Nitrous oxide emissions and nitrate leaching losses decreased under improved nutrient management, though impacts varied between sites and years. Ongoing research aims to further quantify environmental benefits and optimize fertilizer practices.

The document summarizes research on managing drainage water in the Holland Marsh region of Ontario to improve water quality and agricultural productivity. Key points:
- The Holland Marsh is an important vegetable growing region on organic soils, but drainage into Lake Simcoe contributes excess nutrients.
- A study evaluated controlling water tables with controlled drainage to reduce pumping and nutrient loads in drainage water. Modeling and monitoring found it effective for water conservation but more limited for nutrient reductions.
- Soil phosphorus pools, particularly aluminum and iron-bound phosphorus, were found to influence phosphorus levels in drainage water more than drainage management alone. Fertilizer applications exceeded crop needs, accumulating legacy phosphorus in soils over time.

This document summarizes a study comparing the effects of conventional ditch drainage (FD) and shallow furrow drainage with tile (SD) on crop yields and water quality in eastern North Carolina. Preliminary results found that SD led to a 68% reduction in drainage volume, 80% less nitrate export, and higher average soybean (+9.1%) and corn (+3.7%) yields compared to FD. SD also requires less land area than FD, has lower maintenance needs, and shows potential to improve water quality and agricultural productivity with more efficient drainage management. The research aims to further quantify these impacts of SD drainage design.

This document discusses how the choice of pipe material influences drain spacing and system cost. It finds that pipe with more rows of perforations, such as an 8-row regular perforated pipe, has a higher effective radius than a 4-row pipe, allowing for wider drain spacing. Experiments show that a sock-wrapped pipe has the highest drain inflow of the pipes tested, both with and without drain sedimentation present. The key takeaways are that the number of perforation rows and slot length most impact effective radius and drain flow, and a sock-wrapped pipe performs best in terms of drain inflow and spacing.

This document discusses the implementation and maintenance of two-stage ditches. Two-stage ditches incorporate a floodplain area to increase flow capacity while slowing velocities. They allow for channel vegetation, improve sediment settling, and provide water quality benefits. Challenges include obtaining land access, communication with landowners, permitting, and planting/erosion control. Case studies of implemented two-stage ditch projects in Lucas County demonstrate post-construction conditions and results, including improved drainage and yields for agriculture.
September 1 - 0130 - Johnathan Witter
This document summarizes research on conservation channel design and sediment capture in two-stage ditches. It finds that self-forming channels accumulated more sediment, carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus over time compared to traditional ditches. Sediment analysis showed higher nutrient levels than surrounding soils. A case study site captured over 500 kg of phosphorus over 9 years that could be harvested and reused as fertilizer, offsetting nutrient costs for farmers. The document concludes sediment trapping in two-stage ditches can improve water quality while providing a locally sourced, cost-effective fertilizer resource.

This document summarizes a study on the impact of drainage water recycling (DWR) on nutrient and sediment losses from agricultural fields in eastern North Carolina. The study found that storing drainage water in an on-farm reservoir for supplemental irrigation (DWR) significantly reduced nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment concentrations and loads compared to a non-irrigated control field. Specifically, DWR reduced total nitrogen concentration by 40% and load by 47%. It also reduced total phosphorus concentration by 21% and load by 30%. Sediment concentration was reduced by 86% and load by 87%. The hydraulic retention time in the reservoir was found to be the major factor influencing nutrient and sediment removal efficiency.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

【业务选择办理准则】
一、工作未确定，回国需先给父母、亲戚朋友看下文凭的情况，办理一份毕业证【Q微信741003700】文凭即可
二、回国进私企、外企、自己做生意的情况，这些单位是不查询毕业证真伪的，而且国内没有渠道去查询国外文凭的真假，也不需要提供真实教育部认证。鉴于此，办理一份毕业证【Q微信741003700】即可
三、进国企，银行，事业单位，考公务员等等，这些单位是必需要提供真实教育部认证的，办理教育部认证所需资料众多且烦琐，所有材料您都必须提供原件，我们凭借丰富的经验，快捷的绿色通道帮您快速整合材料，让您少走弯路。

- 1. DECISION SUPPORT TOOLS FOR COVER CROPS: CREDITING WATER AND NITROGEN CONSERVATION CHRIS REBERG-HORTON, STEVEN MIRSKY, AND MANY, MANY MORE July 29, 2019 – Pittsburg, PA
- 2. 2 COVER CROPS Hairy Vetch Cereal Rye OatsRed Clover Winter Wheat Forage Radish Nitrogen Fixation Nutrient Scavenging/ Retention Insect Pests Erosion Control Nutrient Use Efficiency Conserve Water Crop Productivity Weed Suppression Organic Matter Habitat for Beneficial Organisms Cover Crops
- 3. ON-FARM NETWORK • On-farm trials • Cover crop adopters • 6 states • 2017-present • 75+ site-years 3
- 4. OBJECTIVES 4 Objectives: 1) to demonstrate the short-term benefits of cover crops on soil water and N conservation, and 2) to deploy decision support tools for growers to increase cover crop adoption in the mid-Atlantic and Southeast US. Many farmers believe cover crops are a net detriment to water storage and that grass cover crops increase N fertilizer requirements due to N immobilization. Low Cover Crop Adoption
- 5. Cover Crop TreatmentNo Cover Crop Treatment EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN 5 • 2 adjacent treatments. • Cover crop management is chosen by the grower. • Cover crop residues remain on the surface. • Next cash crop can be corn, cotton, or soybeans.
- 6. NITROGEN CONSERVATION 6 Annual nitrate mass loss in tile drainage for corn-soybean rotation near Ames, IA, with and without cover crop. Presence of the cover crop significantly reduced nitrate loss. Modeling effort is conducted to quantify the amount nitrogen released by the cover crop based on cover crop biomass composition, rainfall, temperature, and relative humidity.
- 7. WATER CREDIT 7 • Increased infiltration rates were observed in the cover crop treatments. • Differences between treatments was higher for more intense storms. • Further data analysis is ongoing.
- 8. GROWER DASHBOARD 8 For real-time data access and co-learning. Enter grower’s last name Grower’s sites Map site locations Sampled fresh cover crop biomass Dry cover crop biomass Cover crop biomass at grower’s sites in comparison to all the other sites Cover crop Nitrogen content and availability for cash crop Volumetric soil water content by depth and treatment
- 10. IMPACT OF THE PROJECT 10 Scientific Community Better understanding of the short-term effects of cover crops on soil water dynamics and soil fertility. Field Educators Development of an outreach program that identifies and overcomes misconceptions about the cost and value of cover crops. CC and CT Adopters Growers have data to advocate with neighbors. Development of advanced risk management tools to help growers improve their management strategies. Middle Adopters We leverage our findings to increase CC and CT adoption across the US. General Public Development a website to make our research program and findings accessible online.
- 11. FUTURE WORK 11 • On-farm network will be deployed to 23 states in 2020. • New metrics will be conducted to: - Evaluate the short-term effect of cover crops on weed and pest management. - Identify the social, economic, and intrinsic barriers to cover crop adoption • RGB and NIR cameras will be deployed to measure the effect of cover crops on cash crop water stress during the hot summer months.
