Syrphids and Their Parasitoids from Maize Crop

Autonomous Navigation in Maize Crop Fields

Scope The autonomous navigation in agricultural environments allows also to carry out autonomous operations of special interest in agriculture environments. The goal of an autonomous navigation is to cover all the required areas where the operation has to be made. We take into account different navigation strategies using proper sensors being also able to detect references which makes possible ...

How do various maize crop models vary in their responses to climate change factors?

Potential consequences of climate change on crop production can be studied using mechanistic crop simulation models. While a broad variety of maize simulation models exist, it is not known whether different models diverge on grain yield responses to changes in climatic factors, or whether they agree in their general trends related to phenology, growth, and yield. With the goal of analyzing the ...

Estimation of Potential Evapotranspiration and Crop Coefficient of Maize at Rupandehi District of Nepal

This study was conducted to determine the potential evapotranspiration (PET) of maize, the crop coefficient (Kc) under full water requirement as well as the cause of decrease in maize yield. It was determined that the seasonal PET of maize is about 486.6 mm. The Kc under full water supply was found to be: 0.11, 0.35, 1.51 and 0.34 for initial, development, midseason and the late season stages r...

Nitrogen management strategies for maize production systems: Experimental data and crop modeling

Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important crop among Brazilian smallholder farmers,who are also responsible for 40% of the poultry and egg production in the country.Although poultry litter is considered a potential pollutant, if properly stabilized anddistributed in the field it can be used as a source of nitrogen for maize production.In this study, the response of maize to mineral fertilizer and pou...
