e1“Two crop models, available in the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT), were calibrated and evaluated using maize (Zea mays L.) and soybean (Glycine max L.) yield data from 2006 through 2011 under CT and NT treatments”
e5“Application of NT can be beneficial for enhancing the soils and crop production in the long-term as compared to the CT system”
