Drought is an abiotic stress that inhibits plant growth and development and, therefore, declines crop productivity, as seen in maize plant. The aim of this investigation was to identify the candidate varieties can be grown under water limited conditions using physio-morphological yield attributes. Eight genotypes including ‘Suwan4452’ (drought tolerant) a positive check, ‘CP301’, ‘CP-DK888’, ‘D...

The persistence and productivity of forage grasses, important sources for feed production, are threatened by climate change-induced drought. Breeding programs in search new drought tolerant grass varieties, but those still rely on time-consuming less consistent visual scoring breeders. In this study, we evaluate whether Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) based remote sensing can complement or replac...

With water resources constantly becoming scarcer, and 70% of freshwater used for the agriculture sector, there is a growing need innovative methods to increase use efficiency (WUE) food production systems provide nutrient-dense an increasing population. Sensor technology has recently been introduced horticulture industry resource minimize environmental impacts excessive use. Identifying effects...

Saffron is grown in arid and semi-arid regions in Iran in late autumn, winter and late spring with rainy season. It should be irrigated by supplemental basin irrigation. Since rainfall is usually delayed in autumn, therefore, a pre-flowering irrigation of about 100 mm is needed. In areas with a seasonal rainfall of 600 mm a post- flowering irrigation of about 50 mm is adequate for economical yi...

Introducción. Plantas expuestas a condiciones de estrés alteran su funcionamiento y generan respuestas fisiológicas que afectan desempeño agronómico. En el cultivo Cannabis medicinal, son escasos los trabajos investigación sobre la fisiología planta interacción con factores bióticos. Objetivo. Determinar variables indicadoras en diferentes etapas fenológicas plantas invernadero bajo fitosanitar...

The temperature vegetation dryness index (TVDI) is widely used for the monitoring of global or regional drought because its strong drought-monitoring capabilities and ease implementation. However, temporal errors in land surface (LST) normalized difference (NDVI) can affect warm cold edges, thus determining quality TVDI, especially regions affected by climate change, such as Shandong Province. ...
