Strip intercropping has been widely applied in arid and semi-arid regions due to high and
stable productivity and efficient utilization of resources. Intercropping can increase water use …

Light attenuation within a row of crops such as cotton is influenced by canopy architecture,
which is defined by size, shape and orientation of shoot components. Level of light …

This new edition of a bestseller examines plant nutrition's role as one of the most important
limiting factors that must be overcome to optimize food production. Extensively revised and …

Continuous increase in the yield of maize (Zea mays L.) in the US Corn Belt has involved an
interaction with plant density. A number of contributing traits and mechanisms have been …

Model studies focus experimental investigations to improve our understanding and
performance of systems. Concentrating on crop modelling, this book provides an …

Precision phenotyping, especially the use of image analysis, allows researchers to gain
information on plant properties and plant health. Aerial image detection with unmanned …

A new maize (Zea mays L.) simulation model, Hybrid-Maize, was developed by combining
the strengths of two modeling approaches: the growth and development functions in maize …

Maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids differ in their response to plant population density.
Enhancements in tolerance to crowding have been obtained around the world as the result …

Sun-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) from spaceborne sensors is a promising tool for
global carbon cycle monitoring, but its application is constrained by insufficient …

Maize crop management involves decision making on several cultural practices aimed to
maximize grain yield, like plant population and row spacing. These practices affect the light …
