multifunctional agriculture. Beyond its role of producing food, feed and fiber, the concept of …

With the growing importance of fruits as valuable food resources, attention has been paid in
recent years to enhance productivity and quality. Increasing productivity per unit area …

Genotypic difference in nitrogen responsiveness of maize grain yield has gained
considerable attention, however, the underlying physiological mechanism is less …

Urban soil pollution by heavy metals (HMs) is a pressing problem in the development of
urban agriculture (UA). In this context, the use of amendments, such as biochar, and …

The limited availability of water resources severely restricts agricultural development in the
semiarid and arid regions of Northwest China. A two-year field experiment was conducted to …

Plant density and nitrogen (N) rate are two important factors affecting maize yield. However,
the interacting effects of plant density and nitrogen rate on maize production and water …

In order to supply future biorefineries there is a need to sustainably intensify the biomass
production on current agricultural land. The aim of this work was to determine biomass yield …

The conversion efficiency (εc) of absorbed radiation into biomass (MJ of dry matter per MJ of
absorbed photosynthetically active radiation) is a component of yield potential that has been …

The present study developed a method to use RapidEye satellite information for N
management in durum wheat cultivation. The estimation of the N status was based on the …

Uncertainty in predictions of long-term yields of perennial grasses makes business plans
untenable in the short run. Long-term data across varied environments, including marginal …
