Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon storage by introduced deep-rooted grasses in the South American savannas
Myles J. Fisher,Idupulapati M. Rao,Miguel Angel Ayarza,Carlos E. Lascano,J. I. Sanz,Richard J. Thomas,Raúl R. Vera +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an analysis of the carbon stored by pastures based on deep-rooted grasses which have been introduced in the South American savannas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scope and Strategies for Regulation of Nitrification in Agricultural Systems—Challenges and Opportunities
Guntur Venkata Subbarao,O. Ito,K. L. Sahrawat,Wade L. Berry,Kazuhiko Nakahara,T. Ishikawa,Toshihiro Watanabe,K. Suenaga,Marco Antonio Rondón,Idupulapati M. Rao +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, Nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) is defined as the dry matter produced per unit N applied and strive for improvements in agronomic yields through N recovery, which is a conservative function in most biological systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for biological nitrification inhibition in Brachiaria pastures
Guntur Venkata Subbarao,Kazuhiko Nakahara,María del Pilar Hurtado,Hiroshi Ono,Danilo Moreta,Andres Salcedo,A. T. Yoshihashi,T. Ishikawa,Manabu Ishitani,M. Ohnishi-Kameyama,M. Yoshida,Marco Antonio Rondón,Idupulapati M. Rao,Carlos E. Lascano,Wade L. Berry,O. Ito +15 more
TL;DR: These findings provide direct evidence for the existence and active regulation of a nitrification inhibitor (or inhibitors) release from tropical pasture root systems, and could become a powerful strategy toward the development of low-nitrifying agronomic systems, benefiting both agriculture and the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenotyping common beans for adaptation to drought.
TL;DR: Efforts to improve common bean for drought tolerance are reviewed, referring to genetic diversity for drought response, the physiology of drought tolerance mechanisms, and breeding strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phosphorus Transformations in an Oxisol under contrasting land-use systems: The role of the soil microbial biomass
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the partitioning of P among various organic and inorganic fractions in soils of contrasting agricultural land-use systems and related it to biological soil properties.
