| Key To “Stashing” Carbon: Residue Management FFF Review Research and on-farm experience show that improvement of soil environment via high-yield farming greatly enhances stashing. (PDF, 2 pages, 47 KB) |
| One Answer To Global Warning: High-yield Agriculture Bill Lohry Increased crop yields could sequester more CO2 to help mitigate emissions of fossil fuels while also supplying a hungry world with more food. (PDF, 3 pages, 115 KB) |
| SUMMER |
| Potassium Boosts Almond Yields Via Irrigation Drs. R.D. Meyer, J.P. Edstrom, L.J. Schwankl Yield differences over control are significant in micro-sprinkler system but not in single- or double line drip systems. (PDF, 3 pages, 30 KB) |
