Agroecology Knowledge Hub

Database

Agroecology plays an important role in contributing to the eradication of hunger and extreme poverty, and as a means to facilitate the transition to more productive, sustainable and inclusive food systems. Creating a greater awareness of agroecology and its advantages is an important step to help policy-makers, farmers and researchers to apply this approach to achieve a world without hunger.

The database provides a starting point to organize the existing knowledge on agroecology, collecting articles, videos, case studies, books and other important material in one place. The objective is to support policy-makers, farmers, researchers and other relevant stakeholders through knowledge exchange and knowledge transfer. The database is a ‘living process’ that is constantly being updated.

Scenario analysis of natural enemy － Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Guenee) system using STELLA model

The rice-Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Guenee) system was studied based on the principles and methods of system sciences to seek possible ways or strategies for pest population control. A conceptual model describing interrelated activities among different generations of C. medinalis (Guenee) and their natural enemies was designed and implemented through differential equations...

Study on ecological niches of main predatory arthropods in integrated rice-duck farming system

The objective of this study is to quantify resource utilization of main predatory arthropods in integrated rice-duck farming system and to explore their role in resource allocation. Through field investigations on main predatory arthropods in integrated rice-duck farming and conventional rice cultivation systems, the structure of the predatory arthropods communities...

Effect of integrated rice-duck farming on rice canopy structure index

Although rice canopy structure is a critical factor that influences rice yield and quality, few research has been conducted on the effects of rice-duck farming on rice canopy structure. Canopy structure characteristics at tillering and full-heading stages of late rice were compared between rice-duck farming and conventional rice farming (control)...

Mechanical stimulation of duck on rice phyto-morphology in rice-duck farming system

Integrated rice-duck farming system, developed from “raising ducks in paddy fields”, as one of China’s traditional agriculture was encouraged for safe production of rice in China, Japan and other countries in Southeast Asia. To study the effects of ducks on the growth characteristics of rice, a mechanical stimulation experiment was...

Effects of intercropping rice with Oenanthe javanica on diseases, pests and weeds hazards and yield of rice

A field experiment was conducted to study effects of different rice-based cropping systems on diseases, pests and weed (DPW) hazards and yield of rice. The experiment included four treatments: conventional rice farming system (CR) as control, conventional Oenanthe javanica farming system (CO), conventional intercropping of rice with Oenanthe javanica (CRO)...

Progresses and perspective on research and practice of rice-duck farming in China

A significant progress had been made in the theory and practice of rice-duck farming in China in recent decades. Attained theoretic achievements include effects of rice-duck farming on: 1) nutrient cycle, matter and energy flow characteristics in paddy fields; 2) pest and disease control and the dynamic relationship between pests...
