Evaluating CERES-Maize Model Using Planting Dates and Nitrogen Fertilizer in Zambia

CERES–Maize Model for Determining the Optimum Planting Dates of Early Maturing Maize Varieties in Northern Nigeria

Field trials were carried out in the Sudan Savannah of Nigeria to assess the usefulness of CERES-maize crop model as a decision support tool for optimizing maize production through manipulation of plant dates. The calibration experiments comprised of 20 maize varieties planted during the dry and rainy seasons of 2014 and 2015 at Bayero University Kano and Audu Bako College of Agriculture Dambat...

Manipulating Planting Density and Nitrogen Fertilizer Application to Improve Yield and Reduce Environmental Impact in Chinese Maize Production

Relatively low nitrogen (N) efficiency and heavy environmental costs caused by excessive N fertilizer applications with outdated fertilization techniques are current cultivation production problems with maize among smallholders in North China Plain. Although many studies have examined agronomical strategies for improving yields and N use, the integrated effects of these measures and the associa...

Maize Yield Response to Fertilizer and Profitability of Fertilizer Use among Small-scale Maize Producers in Zambia

Yield and Nitrogen Fertilizer Efficiency Analyzes in Different Planting Dates of Canola (Brassica napus L.) under Warm and Dry Climate Condition

Canola sensitivity to delayed sowing date should be managed in such a way that the observance of crop rotation with less reduced in seed yield. The research was conducted to evaluate the yield variation of Hyola401 hybrid, affected by sowing date and nitrogen fertilizer treatments. In this study, the effect of planting date and different levels of nitrogen fertilizers on effective characteristi...

development complex crop model based on csm-ceres-maize model for irrigation management and evaluating the maize growth simulations

in this study, a complex crop model was developed that integrates the various components of swap and csm-ceres-maize (dssat v4.0) model with the purpose of developing a more efficient model and according to the internal requirements. in the hybrid model, ceres-maize supplies swap model with daily leaf area index and root depth and on the other hand swap model supplies ceres-maize with daily wea...
