Dry direct-seeded rice (DSR) has been identified as a potential crop establishment method to reduce labor, water, and energy use, as well as the carbon footprint and is considered as a climate-smart practice for rice production. However, the economic feasibility and farmers’ adoption of DSR will likely depend on its productivity compared to the dominant practice of puddled transplanted rice (PTR). Tillage and crop management practices, landscape position, and rice cultivars are also likely to influence DSR productivity, profitability, energy use, and global warming potential (GWP). While numerous studies have compared the performance of DSR with PTR, none have evaluated DSR across different landscape positions to identify the most suitable landscape for expansion of DSR.

Modeling root water uptake (RWU) coupled with crop growth processes is crucial for optimizing water management in field crops, especially in tropical scenarios with high water demand. However, field-scale assessments of process-based RWU models are limited, as most efforts have focused on the root system scale, leading to few practical applications.

Iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) can significantly reduce yield in soybeans grown in calcareous soils, and the severity of IDC is related to soil CaCO3 content, pH, temperature, and moisture. Most research conducted on IDC has taken place in the north-central part of the United States, while studies in the Southeastern US have primarily focused on variety selection for tolerance. Previous research has evaluated select management practices that affect IDC in soybean, but the combined effects of these different practices have not been studied.

Maize plays a crucial role in global food security, while extensive use of nitrogen (N) fertilizers in maize production has posed severe environmental risks.

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a key global crop essential for food security. Enhancing wheat productivity is crucial to meet growing food demands. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) such as QFFE.perg-5A and QFEm.perg-3A have been previously linked to fruiting efficiency at the spike level, but their effects on plot-level yield components remain unexplored.
