Climate Recommender System for Wheat Cultivation in North Egyptian Sinai Peninsula

In this paper, a recommender system based on rough mereology was presented for predicting best cultivation dates for wheat in Egyptian Sinai Peninsula according to the required mean temperature for germination stage during October to December. The weather data was hourly collected from El-Arish weather station in north Sinai government from 1985 to 2013. As far as we know, this was the rst stud...

The historical perspective of dryland agriculture: lessons learned from 10,000 years of wheat cultivation.

Wheat is one of the founder crops of Western agriculture. This study reconstructs agronomic conditions, potential yields, and kernel weight in the beginnings of cultivation of domesticated free-threshing wheat, c. 8000 BC. The carbon and nitrogen stable isotope compositions and the dimensions of fossil grains of naked wheat (Triticum aestivum/durum) were analysed. Samples were collected in Tell...

From the neolithic revolution to gluten intolerance: benefits and problems associated with the cultivation of wheat.

The ripples of "The Big (agricultural) Bang": the spread of early wheat cultivation.

Demographic expansion and (or) migrations leave their mark in the pattern of DNA polymorphisms of the respective populations. Likewise, the spread of cultural phenomena can be traced by dating archaeological finds and reconstructing their direction and pace. A similar course of events is likely to have taken place following the "Big Bang" of the agricultural spread in the Neolithic Near East fr...

A comparative ideotype, yield component and cultivation value analysis for spring wheat adaptation in Finland

In this study Mixed structural covariance, Path and Cultivation Value analyses and the CERES-Wheat crop model were used to evaluate vegetation and yield component variation affecting yield potential between different highlatitude (> 60° N lat.) and mid-European (< 60° N lat.) spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes currently cultivated in southern Finland. Path modeling results from this ...
