increasing the water use efficiency in crop production is an important issue today. an experiment was conducted in 2009 in order to evaluate the corn reaction to partial root zone drying at fars province. treatments consisted of four irrigation levels (control, alternative furrow irrigation during whole season, alternative furrow irrigation until flowering then full irrigation and full irrigati...

considering importance of baby corn as a new food, this study was conducted to evaluate effect of different sowing date; planting density and harvest methods on growth and yield of baby corn ksc403su varieties in agricultural research center and natural resources of khorasan razavi province during on 2007-2008. was considered at three levels of sowing date (14th  june, 3th  july, 24th july) as ...

Spatio-temporal analyses of yield variability are required to delineate areas of stable yield patterns for application of precision farming techniques. Spatial structure and temporal stability patterns were studied using 19951997 yield data for a 25-ha field located near Story City, Iowa. Corn was grown during 1995-1996, and soybean in 1997. The yield data were collected on nine east-west trans...

Recent developments in biofuel demand and the rapid adoption of modern transgenic hybrids are changing production systems towards more corn after corn, more intensive tillage, higher plant populations, and ever higher crop residue levels at harvest. Meeting society’s needs for food, feed, and fuel from grain corn, and in the future from corn stover, requires continued refinement of tillage syst...

in order to study the effects of drought stress and nitrogen (n) levels on grain yield, yield components and water use efficiency of grain corn (sc.704), a field experiment was conducted in 2009 growing season. the experiment was split-plot based on randomized complete block design arrangement and four replicates. main plots were three irrigation levels included optimum irrigation (i1), moderat...

Corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] rotations are common production systems across the midwestern United States. However, the interactive effect of crop rotation, tillage, and nematicide seed treatments on the yield of both crops in the rotation system is not well understood. Field trials were conducted in a long-term crop rotation experiment during 2013 to 2015 to measure y...

a r t i c l e i n f o A crop yield estimation model using time-series MODIS WDRVI was developed. The main feature of the proposed model is the incorporation of crop phenology detection using MODIS data, called the " Shape-Model Fitting Method ". MODIS WDRVI taken 7–10 days before the corn silking stage had strong linear correlation with corn final grain yield at both field and regional scales. ...
