Precision agriculture is defined as the observation, impact assessment, and the timely strategic response for remedy to minute variation in agricultural production [1]. Precision agriculture is applied in a wide range of agricultural activities such as crop production, dairy farming, horticulture, and forest management. Site-specific crop management (SSCM) is one important component of precisio...

Simulation of crop systems has evolved from a neophyte science into a robust and increasingly accepted discipline. Our vision is that crop systems simulation can serve important roles in agriculture and environment. Important roles and uses of crop systems simulation are in five primary areas: (1) basic research synthesis and integration, where simulation is used to synthesize our understanding...

We conducted a case study of the 2017 Cover Crop Champions cohort to understand how program changes farmers’ perceptions cover crops and helps them overcome structural constraints their adoption. Based on semi-structured interviews document review, we found that changed attitudes behavior farmers through two key mechanisms.

Wheat is the main crop and often a strategic crop in many European countries. From a historical perspective, we describe the transfer of "reduced height genes" (Rht genes) from Japanese wheat varieties to wheat varieties in Europe and their influence on the increase of the total wheat production in the last century. Historic pathways of Rht genes were influenced directly or indirectly by wheat ...
