Abstract:
... Timely and accurate estimation of crop yield before harvest to allow crop yields management decision-making at a regional scale is crucial for national food policy and security assessments. Modeling dynamic change of crop growth is of great help because it allows researchers to determine crop management strategies for maximizing crop yield. Remote sensing is often used to provide information about ...

Jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) has emerged as a candidate for biodiesel production. It is a non-edible oil producing, drought-resistant plant that can be grown on marginal land with limited water and low soil fertility. However, these are also attributes that typif ...

Currently, to map soil attributes with high accuracy, a high sample density is needed, which is often unfeasible. One technique that minimizes the number of samples required is the use of maps that have prior information of ...

Abstract:
... The globe artichoke, a species native to the Mediterranean Basin, makes a significant contribution to the region’s agricultural economy. Its increasing popularity has extended into northern Europe, the Americas and parts of Asia. To an extent, the increased interest in the crop reflects the perceived beneficial health effects of its inclusion in the human diet, flowing mainly from its high content ...
