The use of modern crop varieties is a dominant method of obtaining high yields in crop production. Efforts to identify suitable varieties, with characteristics that would increase crop yield under future climate conditions, remain essential to developing sustainable agriculture and food security. This work aims to evaluate potential genotypic adaptations (i.e., using varieties with increased ab...

Conservation Agriculture (CA) have a large potential for enhancing cereal yields in the semi-arid areas through better management of soil moisture. The objective of the current paper is to quantify, at national level, the impact of CA adoption in wheat-based agricultural systems in Syria. A country-level bio-economic approach was used for this purpose. Different CA technical packages (TPs) were...

Climate change is a variation in the normal behavior of climate. These variations and their effects will be seen coming years, most imminent being anomalous fluctuations atmospheric temperature precipitation. This scenario counterproductive for agricultural production. study evaluated effect climate on oil palm production conditions Central Pacific Costa Rica, three simulation scenarios: baseli...

The interest in techniques to improve water use efficiency (WUE) such as controlled deficit irrigation is rising due to the emergence of strong competition for fresh water in order to comply with the increased demand for food worldwide. Additionally, the use of crop models in conjunction with complex decision support systems becomes more and more widespread making it essential to reliably predi...

The Agricultural Production Systems Simulator (APSIM) model was calibrated and validated used to identify the optimum planting windows for two contrasting maize varieties three agro-ecologies in Nigeria savannas. run 11 starting from June 1 repeated every 7 days until 16 August using long-term historical weather data selected sites representing agro-ecological zones (AEZs). evaluation with expe...

The impact of global climate change is a challenge to the sustainability many ecosystems, including soil systems. However, performance properties under future was rarely assessed. Therefore, this study carried out evaluate selected processes using an agri-environmental modeling approach Sri Lanka. Agricultural Production Systems Simulator (APSIM) model used simulate and plant-related recent pas...

We used the APSIM-Maize model to simulate maize potential yield (Yp) and rain-fed (Yw) when adaptation options of sowing date planting density were adopted under Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 8.5 in Guanzhong Plain China. The results showed that Yp would decrease by 10.6–14.9% 15.0–31.4% RCP4.5 RCP8.5 for summer maize, 13.9–19.7% 18.5–36.3% spring respectively. Yw 17.1–19.0% 23...
