Breeding, selection and deployment methods appropriate to these objectives should be used rather than those used for high input intensive agriculture Cause plant breeding. [ Cereal_landraces 0 MCLH 02/05/2025 ]

Sustainable approaches Cause are those that are the least toxic and least energy Means intensive, and yet maintain productivity and profitability. [ UC_Davis 0 MCLH 02/05/2025 ]

Some soils in the Montane Cordillera ecozone and Peace River region are underfertilized, whereas other areas of the province under intensive horticulture and livestock production Cause show increases in residual nitrogen. [ Canadian_Agriculture 0 MCLH 02/05/2025 ]

The notion that sustainable agricultural systems maintain output in spite of major disturbance, such as caused by intensive stress Cause or large perturbation (Conway, 1985) is of particular relevance to semi-arid ecosystems. [ Agrometeorology 0 MCLH 02/05/2025 ]

Hoogwijk et al. (2005) mention that disregarding soil organic content reduction due to intensive practices Cause may bias productivity estimates in their models. [ Biomass 0 MCLH 02/05/2025 ]

The grain raised to supply feedlots (cattle) and factory farms (chickens, hogs, veal calves) is grown in intensive monocultures Cause that stretch over thousands of acres, leading to more chemical use and exacerbating attendant problems (e.g., pesticide resistance in insects, and pollution of surface waters and aquifers by herbicides and insecticides). [ Health_Harm_of_Industrial_Agriculture 0 MCLH 02/05/2025 ]

These systems use a holistic approach of principles and procedures known to reduce agronomic inputs (conservation tillage, use of disease resistant cultivars, rational use of pesticides, target application of nutrients) and to diversify crops (shift from intensive cereal monoculture Cause to crop rotation, promotion of biodiversity through the management of field margins and non agricultural vegetation) [ EUE 0 MCLH 02/05/2025 ]

This is particularly significant in the tropics where organic matter reduction is processed more quickly, with low soil carbon levels resulting only after one or two decades of intensive soil tillage Cause . [ Conservation_ Agriculture 0 MCLH 02/05/2025 ]

Agricultural habitat area for most habitat use units remained stable in the northern portions of the province but shrank in areas of the Mixedwood Plains ecozone where production Cause is more Degree intensive. [ Canadian_Agriculture 0 MCLH 02/05/2025 ]

Such precision agriculture has typically been used in large-scale intensive farming Cause , but is possible at any scale and under any conditions given the use of appropriate diagnostic tools. [ Agricultural_Sustainability 0 MCLH 02/05/2025 ]

It is also argued that high-input agriculture is more environmentally sustainable than low-input agriculture, as the latter represents the intensive use Cause of local resources which may be degraded in the process. [ Sustainable_intensification 0 MCLH 02/05/2025 ]

The population was phenotyped for yield at two contrasting sites in each of seven Mediterranean sites for two years leading to marker-trait associations to understand the genetic and physiological dynamics underlying barley domestication and intensive breeding Cause carried out in the last century and its relation to adaptation to drought. [ Cereal_landraces 0 MCLH 02/05/2025 ]

In developing countries, modern high-input systems tend to be monocrop and/or monoanimal enterprises geared for sale, and so include lowland irrigated rice, wheat and cotton; plantations of bananas, pineapples, oil palm, sugar cane; market gardening near to urban centres; and intensive livestock rearing Cause . [ Feed_Africa 0 MCLH 02/05/2025 ]

Governments also help perpetuate chemical- intensive agriculture Cause by funding research on chemical fixes for agricultural problems, to the exclusion of research on more sustainable options. [ Health_Harm_of_Industrial_Agriculture 0 MCLH 02/05/2025 ]

In some cases, intensive cropping Cause and inherent erodibility of the land offset the benefits of these practices. [ Canadian_Agriculture 0 MCLH 02/05/2025 ]

But the huge risks and extra costs (of certification, intensive labour Cause and other natural inputs) rule out conversion to organic methods unless there are more or less guaranteed markets negotiated through Chinese enterprises or agents of foreign companies. [ China 0 MCLH 02/05/2025 ]

Such intensive harvesting Cause may be unsustainable, though (Smith 1995). [ Biomass 0 MCLH 02/05/2025 ]

Wildlife habitat for a majority of habitat use units remained stable in the central portion of the province, increased in the Peace River region, but declined in the areas of more Degree intensive agriculture Cause in the Pacific Maritime ecozone. [ Canadian_Agriculture 0 MCLH 02/05/2025 ]

Such precision agriculture has typically been used in large-scale intensive farming Cause , but is possible at any scale and under any conditions given the use of appropriate diagnostic tools [ Agricultural_Sustainability 0 MCLH 02/05/2025 ]

At the same time, the increases in world population will result in serious pressure on the existing agricultural land through urbanization and intensive cultivation Cause (Alexandratos, 1995; Byrnes and Bumb, 1998). [ Micronutrient_efficient_genotypes 0 MCLH 02/05/2025 ]

Since the Green Revolution, intensive cropping Cause , cultivation of high-yield genotypes, improved agricultural mechanization, production of macronutrient fertilizers with low impurities of trace elements, and using modern irrigation systems has resulted in higher crop production per unit area and greater depletion of soil phytoavailable micronutrients.
