Tillage systems influence on greenhouse gas emission factor and global warming potential under rice-mustard-rice cropping system

Mozammel M. Haque et al.

Summary: Conventional tillage (CT) degrades soil and environmental quality, while conservation agriculture, like reduced tillage, can play a significant role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and maintaining soil organic carbon storage. This study conducted at the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) evaluated the impact of CT and strip tillage (ST) on greenhouse gas emissions, global warming potential, and net soil organic carbon variations in a rice-mustard-rice cropping system. The findings showed that ST significantly reduced methane emissions, greenhouse gas intensity, and global warming potential compared to CT. Additionally, ST increased net ecosystem CO2 absorption and rice equivalent yields. These results highlight the importance of adopting strip tillage practices in Asian countries to minimize soil carbon loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Greenhouse gas emissions from paddy fields in Bangladesh compared to top twenty rice producing countries and emission reduction strategies

Jatish C. Biswas et al.

Summary: Agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions play a significant role in global warming. Bangladesh ranks high in methane emissions from paddy fields, but has relatively low per capita carbon dioxide emissions. Adopting practices such as reduced tillage and alternate wetting and drying can help reduce GHG emissions.

Assessment of Greenhouse Gases Emission in Maize-Wheat Cropping System Under Varied N Fertilizer Application Using Cool Farm Tool

Rakesh Kumar et al.

Summary: Climate change induced by enhanced global warming is a major challenge globally, with agriculture sectors significantly contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. Wheat and maize, as staple crops, play a crucial role in global food security, but their production practices can lead to significant CO2 and N2O emissions. Direct N2O emission is dependent on N fertilizer application rate, while indirect emissions are influenced by fuel and energy consumption.

Carbon footprint for wheat and maize production modulated by farm size: a study in the North China plain

Liantao Hou et al.

Summary: The study found that GHG emissions from N fertilizer production and use were the main contributors to the total carbon footprint. As farm size increased, maize yield increased while wheat yield barely changed, leading to a decline in CF for both crops. Maize not only had higher grain yields but also had smaller CFs, with the reduction of CF being more sensitive for maize compared to wheat.

Profit efficiency and influencing factors for the inefficiency of maize production in Bangladesh

K. M. Mehedi Adnan et al.

Summary: The study found that maize production is profitable in selected areas of Bangladesh but there is a certain level of profit inefficiency. Enhancing educational status and proper extension services were identified as key factors for improving farming efficiency. Further steps to promote effective soil management, irrigation facilities, and agricultural training are necessary for improving efficiency.

Projected climate change impacts on mean and year-to-year variability of yield of key smallholder crops in Sub-Saharan Africa

Benjamin Stuch et al.

Summary: The study reveals significant impacts of climate change on maize and cereal yields in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in Central Africa and West Africa. It suggests that tropical cereals are more resilient to climate change compared to maize, and proposes measures such as regional markets and new cultivars to help farmers adapt.
