Groundwater contamination by nitrates due to agriculture is one of the main environmental problems. Nitrate leaching is a complex physical process, influenced by many variables. However, simulating nitrate leaching through models is now possible.Nitrate leaching from soils can be due to fertilization excess, improper irrigation or land management. It can be due to climate variability as well. Modelling … [Read more...] about Simulating nitrate leaching: Modelling approach
Many developing countries have become recently global agricultural suppliers. However, this has often achieved through an uncontrolled irrigation increase. Only a sustainable irrigation management will keep the agricultural production levels. Asparagus in Ica Valley For instance, Ica Valley, Perú, is now one of the largest asparagus producers of the world.The Ica Department contributes more than 3% … [Read more...] about Sustainable irrigation management based on simulations
According to the last IPCC report (2023), agriculture is among the Climate-Change most vulnerable sectors. Crop models are the right tool to evaluate agricultural climate impacts.The negative climate impact would be higher in regions with low-income family agriculture. This type of agriculture strongly depends on weather conditions. However, climate impacts affect also well funded agriculture. Climate risks usually relate to losses due to climate … [Read more...] about Crop models and Climate impact assessments
