Abstract:
... Accurate estimates and predictions of sunflower crop yields at the pixel and field level are critically important for farmers, service dealers, and policymakers. Several models based on remote sensing data have been developed in yield assessment, but their robustness—especially in small field scale areas—needs to be examined. Here we aim to develop a robust methodology for estimation/prediction of ...

Abstract:
... Most physiology-based crop simulation models do not simulate grain quality dynamics other than protein content. In this study, a simple algorithm was adapted for predicting starch, oil, and protein content of two maize cultivars using four years of experimental data performed in northern Iran. Quality modelling was performed in two steps: (a) the APSIM-Maize model was used to dynamically simulate ...

Abstract:
... In high-yield irrigated rice systems, options for legume cover crops with the capacity for biological nitrogen (N) fixation in the period between harvest have been sought. However, options are limited due to excess water and low oxygen level in the soil. The persian clover (Trifolium resupinatum) is an exception as it is a promising species due to its adaptation to waterlogged soils. Thus, the obj ...

... Since sorghum is the staple food for millions of people, coinciding with areas where selenium (Se) deficiency occurs, biofortification with Se in sorghum can considerably improve Se intake in humans living in these areas. In this study, the objective was to evaluate the response of sorghum plants to Se biofortification and the effect of Se foliar application through sodium selenate on grain yield, ...
... Direct seeding of rice (Oryza sativa L.) has since long been viewed as a potential alternative to unsustainable water-intensive transplanted rice (TPR) world-over, but heavy infestation of a variety of weed species limits the large-scale adoption of direct-seeded rice (DSR) cultivation. Hence, a 2-year field investigation was carried-out in a spilt-plot design, at Banaras Hindu University, Varanas ...
... Cropland area has long been used as a key indicator of food security. However, grain yield is not solely controlled by the area of the cropland. Therefore, we proposed a new indicator to assess food security. Results show that from 1992 to 2004, the global cropland area increased by 840 200 km² (99.4%), but the grain yield increased only by 310 million t (29.1%); and from 2004 to 2015, the croplan ...

Line × tester set was obtained by crossing 10 inbred lines with 2 testers in maize. 20 F1`s along with 12 parents (10 S6 lines and 2 testers) and two standard white checks (TWC321 and TWC324) were evaluated randomized complete block Design (RCBD) with three replications during summer season 2016 to detect the best new white crosses for the potential comercial crosses. Data were recorded on cob len ...

Abstract:
... Rice is one of the leading cereal crops that consumed over half of the world's population. The number of grains per panicle is the main trait to decide grain yield potential of rice. Rice germplasm have rich diversity for panicle related trait. Hence, a study was undertaken to screen 77 diverse rice germplasm for grain number per panicle and its contributing traits. Mahalanobis’ D² analysis was pe ...

The objective of this study was to determine the influence of the relative proportion of stems, leaves and flowers on biomass formation and grain yield in organic and conventional farming systems. The study found that buckwheat produced one-third more ...

Abstract:
... The vascular bundle plays a vital role in photoassimilates transportation in rice. However, the vascular bundle characteristics of basal internode and its relationship with stem assimilates allocation and yield remain unclear. In this study, experiments with four different types of rice varieties subjected to three nitrogen application levels were conducted. The results showed that large vascular ...

Abstract:
... Multi-environment field testing of chickpea accessions winter sown in Southern Spain showed that environmental effects on yield were more important than genotypic effects and GEI. The most detrimental factor on grain yield was ascochyta blight infection. We did not find a significant effect of low temperatures on yield in the environments studied, probably due to the mild winters in the area. On t ...

Therefore, present experiment with 20 diverse urdbean genotypes was executed over three environments in northern hilly terrain under rainfed conditions. AMMI analysis revealed that environments (E), genotypes (G) and G x E interaction effects were found si ...

Abstract:
... China is committed to increase its nature reserves (NRs) coverage up to 18% of its land by the end of 2035. Concerns associated with natural reserve expansion include local grain production restraint and its threat to national food security since agricultural activities are limited in designated natural reserve zones. Grain production has always been one of the top national priorities as it links ...

Abstract:
... Spatial variations of crop yields are commonly observed in typical rainfed systems worldwide. It is accepted that such variations are likely to be associated, among other factors, with water spatial variations due to lateral water flows occurring in fields with undulating topography. However, some of the main processes governing water spatial distribution such as lateral flow are not entirely cons ...

Abstract:
... Durum wheat in the Mediterranean grows under rainfed conditions, where unpredictable climatic conditions result in substantial variation in grain yield and quality. Climate change intensifies Genotype × Environment interactions and urges breeders to escalate their efforts to breed cultivars combining high performance and stability.

Different root traits have been suggested to be important to P efficiency but their relative importance has seldom been evaluated to identify which traits should be the focus for selection and breeding. This study characterized root traits of 10 varieties of wheat that differed in their respons ...
