“…Among them, conservation tillage practices such as no-tillage (NT) or minimum tillage (MT), which are considered to be environmentally friendly. These practices have the beneficial effect of reducing the rate of soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization while enhancing SOC sequestration and water retention in the soil [19][20][21][22]. However, it is crucial to understand the efficacy of these tillage methods in achieving consistently high and stable wheat grain yields, as this knowledge is essential for effective wheat cropping system management.…”

Wheat is considered to be a strategic crop for achieving food security. Wherefore, one of the current objectives of today’s agriculture is to ensure a consistent and sustainable yield of this particular crop while mitigating its environmental footprint. However, along with the genetic potential of varieties, agricultural practices play a key role in ensuring a high and stable yield of wheat. Under changing climatic conditions, new eco-friendly practices were adopted in the wheat farming system in recent decades. In this review, a large number of peer-reviewed articles have been screened during the last 15 years to evaluate the potential of some environmentally friendly agricultural practices such as tillage system, biological crop protection, crop rotation, intercropping systems, and the integration of resistant varieties in achieving a high and stable wheat yield. The present investigation unveiled that embracing eco-friendly agricultural methods in the wheat farming system holds the potential to engender high and sustainable wheat yields, contingent upon a normative strategy that comprehensively addresses multiple factors. These include the intrinsic attributes of the grown wheat cultivars, plant nutritional parameters, soil agrochemical characteristics, and specific climatic conditions. Further in-depth investigations under field conditions are necessary to help in the discernment of appropriate environmentally agricultural techniques that can efficaciously optimize the yield potential of the different cultivated varieties.

“…Conservation tillage includes no-tillage (NT) and minimum tillage (MT). These practices have a beneficial effect on reducing the rate of soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization, soil water retention [13][14][15], reducing water runoff and erosion [16], and stabilizing nutrient uptake [2]. Soil edaphon activity benefits from conservation tillage owing to the retention of food on the soil surface and the reduction of physical soil disturbance [17].…”

Sugar beet production is highly affected by weeds. The structure of crop rotation, the use of intercrops and different tillage techniques bring several benefits to sugar beet cultivation and create different living conditions for weeds. The response of weed communities in sugar beet stands has not been studied. The experimental plot is in the cadastral area of Ivanovice na Hané (Czech Republic). During an eight-year monitoring period (2013–2020), 46 weed species were identified. The dominant species was Chenopodium album. There were also summer and winter weeds. A more varied crop rotation increased the intensity of weed infestation, with winter weeds being the most common. On the contrary, a higher proportion of cereals in the crop structure favors the presence of summer weeds. The tillage technology and the inclusion of catch crops did not significantly affect the intensity of weed infestation in sugar beet stands or the spectrum of weed species. Current cropping technologies have driven the evolution of weeds. Due to their short life cycles and relatively simple genomes, weeds can respond very quickly to technological measures and, thus, change their harmfulness.

“…In previous years, with the accelerated process of urbanization in China, different forms of land use have changed significantly, and the negative effects of human activity on the environment are now more obvious than ever. This has led to a variety of ecological environmental issues, such as soil erosion, soil degradation, and soil heavy metal pollution [3][4][5][6][7]. To address the increasingly severe ecological environmental problems, the Chinese Ministry of Environment put forward the ecological index (EI) in 2006.…”

Ecosystems in arid and semi-arid areas are delicate and prone to different erosive effects. Monitoring and evaluating the environmental ecological condition in such areas contribute to the governance and restoration of the ecosystem. Remote sensing ecological indices (RSEIs) are widely used as a method for environmental monitoring and have been extensively applied in various regions. This study selects the arid and semi-arid Loess Plateau as the research area, in response to existing research on ecological monitoring that predominantly uses vegetation indices as monitoring indicators for greenness factors. A fluorescence remote sensing ecological index (SRSEI) is constructed by using monthly synthesized sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence data during the vegetation growth period as a new component for greenness and combining it with MODIS product data. The study generates the RSEI and SRSEI for the research area spanning from 2001 to 2021. The study compares and analyzes the differences between the two indices and explores the evolution patterns of the ecosystem quality in the Loess Plateau over a 21-year period. The results indicate consistent and positively correlated linear fitting trend changes in the RSEI and SRSEI for the research area between 2001 and 2021. The newly constructed ecological index exhibits a higher correlation with rainfall data, and it shows a more significant decrease in magnitude during drought occurrences, indicating a faster and stronger response of the new index to drought in the research area. The largest proportions are found in the research area’s regions with both substantial and minor improvements, pointing to an upward tendency in the Loess Plateau’s ecosystem development. The newly constructed environmental index can effectively evaluate the quality of the ecosystem in the research area.
