How we used APSIM to simulate conservation agriculture practices in the rice-wheat system of the Eastern Gangetic Plains

Apurbo K. Chaki et al.

Summary: This study comprehensively evaluated the capacity of APSIM to simulate the performance of conservation agriculture (CA) and conventional tillage (CT) cropping practices in diverse conditions in the Eastern Gangetic Plains. The model performed well in simulating different conditions and showed better performance in full-N compared to zero-N, capturing crop response accurately under a wide range of water stress environments.

Tweaking Pakistani Punjab rice-wheat management to maximize productivity within nitrate leaching limits

Donald S. Gaydon et al.

Summary: Pakistan is facing challenges of food insecurity and water scarcity. Research suggests that significant gains in rice and wheat production can be achieved through optimizing farmer management strategies, particularly in crop planting and fertilizer use, to improve productivity and water resource efficiency.

Conservation agriculture enhances the rice-wheat system of the Eastern Gangetic Plains in some environments, but not in others

Apurbo K. Chaki et al.

Summary: The study compared three intensification options for the rice-wheat system in the Eastern Gangetic Plains, showing that incorporating mungbean into the conventional rotation increased system productivity, and adopting CA management practices further enhanced system benefits, although the effects were site-specific.
