  1. 1. Assessing water balance and yields in Malawian cropping systems : maize soybean and maize Gliricidia systems resilience against climate change

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Danila Valeriano; [2024]
    Keywords : crop modelling; APSIM; Malawi; maize; soybean; Gliricidia; agroforestry; legume intercropping; climate predictions; climate adaptation; SDSM;

    Abstract : In Malawi, maize monocultures are increasingly susceptible to extreme weather patterns, causing considerable yield reduction and heightened food insecurity for smallholder farmers dependent on rainfed subsistence agriculture. Diversifying cropping systems is crucial for ensuring yield resilience. READ MORE

  3. 2. Kemiska växtskyddsmedel i jordbruket : en förutsättning för tryggad livsmedelsförsörjning?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Joakim Stattin; [2023]
    Keywords : växtskydd; kemiska växtskyddsmedel; livsmedelstrygghet; jordbruk; avkastning; odlingssystem; integrerat växtskydd;

    Abstract : Jordbruket står inför stora utmaningar under de kommande decennierna. Jordens ökande befolkning driver upp efterfrågan på livsmedel och biobränslen från jordbruket. Men jordbrukets produktion bör inte öka genom att expandera till ytan eftersom det skulle ske på bekostnad av viktiga naturliga habitat. READ MORE

  4. 3. Effekt av olika odlingssystem på markstruktur och avkastning : pargårdsstudie i Skåne

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Clara Kihlstrand; Linnéa Frisk; [2023]
    Keywords : Markhälsa; reducerad jordbearbetning; ; Conservation Agriculture; plöjning; mellangröda; höstvete; aggregatstabilitet; daggmaskar; pH; dragkraft; infiltration; vattenhalt;

    Abstract : Metoderna att odla jordbruksmark är många. Dessa odlingssystem påverkar markstrukturen och markhälsan på olika vis. Markhälsa är ett begrepp som blir allt viktigare. Under 2023 kommer EU med nya markdirektiv som ska säkra långsiktig odling och hjälpa till att nå klimatmålen. READ MORE

  5. 4. N2 fixation of three legume species in an agroforestry system

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Hsiang-Ju Fan; [2023]
    Keywords : nitrogen; dinitrogen fixation; legumes; groundnut; stylo; pinto peanut; understorey crop;

    Abstract : Due to the strong soil erosion caused by agricultural activities and sloping landscape, agroforestry has been introduced as a potentially sustainable cropping practice in the mountainous NW Vietnam. Using legumes as understorey crops in these systems has a potential to limit erosion and smother weeds, as well as provide additional nitrogen (N) to the system. READ MORE

  6. 5. Trainable Region of Interest Prediction: Hard Attention Framework for Hardware-Efficient Event-Based Computer Vision Neural Networks on Neuromorphic Processors

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

    Author : Cina Arjmand; [2023]
    Keywords : Artifical Intelligence; Machine Learning; Neuromorphic Engineering; Computer Vision; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Neuromorphic processors are a promising new type of hardware for optimizing neural network computation using biologically-inspired principles. They can effectively leverage information sparsity such as in images from event-based cameras, and are well-adapted to processing event-based data in an energy-efficient fashion. READ MORE
