The accuracy prediction for the crop yield is conducive to food security in regions and/or nations. To some extent, model yields combining mechanism with statistical regression (SRM) can improve timeliness and robustness of final prediction. In this study, accumulated biomass (AB) simulated by Agricultural Production Systems sIMulator (APSIM) multiple climate indices (e.g., suitability extreme ...

Controlled traffic farming (CTF) is a mechanisation system in which all machinery has the same (or modular) working and track width so that field can be confined to least possible area of permanent lanes. CTF enables productivity non-compacted crop beds optimised for given energy, fertiliser water (rainfall) inputs. This study investigated agronomic response economic return grain sorghum grown ...

Understanding the regional relationships between climate change and crop production will benefit strategic decisions for future agricultural adaptation in China. In this study, the combined effects of climatic factors on spring wheat phenophase and grain yield over the past three decades in Inner Mongolia, China, were explored based on the daily climate variables from 1981-2014 and detailed obs...

The simulation model APSFarm is an extended configuration of the systems model APSIM, and has been in development since 2005 to support the analysis of farm case studies in environments ranging from Central Queensland to the Victorian Riverina. One of the major extensions to APSIM was the implementation of dynamic farm management as a set of state transition networks, with each network represen...

The warming of world climate systems is driving interest in the mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In the agricultural sector, practices that mitigate GHG emissions include those that (1) reduce emissions [e.g., those that reduce nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions by avoiding excess nitrogen (N) fertilizer application], and (2) increase soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks (e.g., by retaining...
