Abstract:

Crop simulation models (CSMs) are used to evaluate management and environmental scenarios on crop growth and yields. Two corn (Zea Mays L.) crop growth simulation models, Hybrid-Maize, and CERES-Maize were calibrated and validated under Virginia conditions with the goal of better understanding corn response to variable environmental conditions and decreasing temporal yield variation. Calibration data were generated from small plot studies conducted at five site-years. Main plots were plant density (4.9, 6.2, 7.4, and 8.6 plants m-2); subplots were hybrids of differing relative maturity (RM)

Abstract:

<p> Among all nutrients that are important for crop production, nitrogen (N) is one of the least efficiently utilized, mainly due to its high mobility in soil. The possibility of using crop sensing in real-time to detect variability in N deficiency within a field has the potential to enhance N efficiency, increase crop yield, and reduce potential environmental risks and crop production costs. Potassium (K), another important crop nutrient, can also lead to higher yield when applied in the right amount and manner. Real-time fluoro-sensing is a new technology for crop sensing and studies have sh

Research on naked crabgrass world-wide is limited; it has been reported to be of importance in sugarcane in Brazil and is considered as a serious grass weed in West Africa. Growth chamber tria

Planting winter cover crops has several benefits compared to keeping the soil bare. The choice of the cover crop species and sowing date is crucial to have the best cover crops establishment and weed suppression. The seeds germination of cover crops is affected by the sowing date with a preference of early sowing. However, the appropriate date of cover crops sowing is not known. Also, cover crops nitrogen dynamics is variable among species.

Improved soil water conservation has become an important subject in semi-arid areas due to low and erratic rainfall which is often combined with higher temperatures to provide unsuitable conditions for successful crop productivity.

Abstract:

Global food production has significantly increased mainly due to the use of high-yield crop varieties, fertilisers, fungicides and pesticides, and improved irrigation methods.

The impacts on the environment include but are not limited to groundwater contamination, declining soil health and increased pest and pathogen resistance, all which increase the financial cost to farmers.

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are bacteria that colonize the volume of soil surrounding plant roots (known as the rhizosphere) which, when in association with a suitable host plant, promote plant growth.

The current study therefore focused on the beneficial effects of PGPR isolates (selected from the PGPR culture collection at the University of Pretoria) on maize (Zea mays L.) and the ability of these isolates to control Rhizoctonia solani K

These are also associated with a number of problems due to the limited spatial distribution of weather stations.

Abstract:

In general, yield reduction in most dryland maize growing areas of South Africa occur because seasonal rainfall distribution is erratic with annual variation that cannot be predicted accurately. Cultivar selection, planting date and plant density are other factors that consistently affect maize yield. Long growing season maize cultivars are higher yielding, particularly under conditions of good moisture and nutrient supply. However, as both moisture and nutrient availability becomes more limiting, yield tends to decline. Short growing season maize cultivars could yield more than long season co
