Field trials were carried out in the Sudan Savannah of Nigeria to assess the usefulness of CERES-maize crop model as a decision support tool for optimizing maize production through manipulation of plant dates. The calibration experiments comprised of 20 maize varieties planted during the dry and rainy seasons of 2014 and 2015 at Bayero University Kano and Audu Bako College of Agriculture Dambat...

the crop simulation models are heuristic tools in order to determine optimal of management strategies and analyzing yield stability in agroecosystems. the objective of this study was to evaluate cropsyst model ability for simulating of development, growth and yield of wheat cultivars from golestan province in response to planting date. the results of model evaluation were acceptable so that, th...

Edamame are soybeans harvested at a physiologically immature (R6) stage as a specialty food item for fresh and processed (frozen) markets. The soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura, is a newly introduced insect pest of soybeans in North America. This field study was to provide baseline information on the impact of A. glycines on the edamame soybean. This study determined the in 2005 did not e...

in order to evaluate the effects of planting date and corm density on yield and some other traits of saffron under climatic conditions of malayer in the west of iran, an experiment was conducted using split plots based on randomized complete blocks design with four replications. different planting dates (15th july, 15th august and 15th september) were allocated in the main plots and different c...
