Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the vital agricultural food crops cultivated globally and a crop grown under an extensive irrigation scheme. In the semi-arid region of northern Nigeria, the interplay of climatic, geological, and anthropogenic characteristics renders the soil virtually saline. Among the monocot crops, rice is salt sensitive, and its productivity... Continue here

Understanding the dynamics of root productivity under drought stress is critical for selecting resilient tree species for dryland forestry. This study examines the impact of various watering regimes on root growth and Net Primary Productivity (NPP) of three leguminous species: Vachellia tortilis, Vachellia nilotica, and Senegalia senegal under semi-arid conditions...
