Using experience with bambara groundnut ( Vigna subterranea ), this paper examines how local knowledge, genetic evaluation, research in fields, glasshouses and laboratories, crop simulation modelling might be linked within a methodological framework to assess rapidly the potential of any underutilized crop. The approach described is retrospective that each activity was not clearly defined structured at outset. However, gained may help establish methodology by which growers, researchers...
Mechanistic crop growth models have many potential uses for management. These can aid in preseason and within‐season management decisions cultural practices such as fertilizer irrigation applications pest disease When making these decisions, maximizing yield net return a function of inputs production costs is one the fundamental goals. Reliable forecasting within growing season would enable improved planning more efficient grain production, handling, marketing. The objective this study was...
Wheat production in the south of Khuzestan, Iran is constrained by heat stress for late sowing dates. For optimization yield, at appropriate time to fit cultivar maturity length and growing season critical. Crop models could be used determine optimum window a locality. The objectives this study were evaluate Cropping System Model (CSM)-CERES-Wheat its ability simulate growth, development, grain yield wheat tropical regions Iran, impact different dates on performance. genetic coefficients...
During 1997, the first year of widespread use glyphosate (N-[phosphonomethyl]glycine) on Roundup Ready (RR) soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] a severe sudden death syndrome (SDS) epidemic occurred and several RR cultivars were affected. Effects colonization root by Fusarium solani (Mart.) Sacc f. sp. glycines (Fsg) SDS evaluated. Five cultivar pairs that contrasted for resistance from maturity groups (MG) II to VI evaluated with without application. The MG III near Bloomington, Pontiac,...
Abstract Drought has significantly affected environmental and socio‐economic conditions in Iran. In this study three drought indices were used for monitoring intensity duration the Kashafrood basin (northeast Iran). The standardized precipitation Index (SPI), Precipitation Percent of Normal (PNPI) Agricultural Rainfall (ARI) calculated base period (1990–1961). All these to assess future events under climate change attributed low high greenhouse gas emission scenarios (SRES B2 A2,...
The literature abounds with the impacts of drought conditions on concentration non-structural compounds (NSC) in peach fruits without distinction as to direct effect fruit metabolism and its indirect through dilution. Moreover, there is a need investigate sensitivity composition progressive water deficit semi-arid conditions, well origin variations - not only carbohydrates organic acids, but also secondary metabolites such polyphenols.The increase stress intensity resulted smaller reduction...
In this study the sensitivity of peach tree (Prunus persica L.) to three water stress levels from mid-pit hardening until harvest was assessed. Seasonal patterns shoot and fruit growth, gas exchange (leaf photosynthesis, stomatal conductance transpiration) as well carbon (C) storage/mobilization were evaluated in relation plant status. A simple C balance model also developed investigate sink-source relationship status at level. The source estimated through leaf area dynamics photosynthesis...
Climate change projections predict warmer and drier conditions. In general, moderate to severe water stress reduce plant vegetative growth leaf photosynthesis. However, reproductive growths show different sensitivities deficit. fruit trees, restrictions may have serious implications not only on tree yield, but also quality, which might be improved. Therefore, it is of paramount importance understand the complex interrelations among physiological processes involved in within-tree carbon...
Abstract Projecting agricultural crop, such as bread wheat, yield under future climate plays a vital role in planning for supply and demand, especially developing countries. The objective of this study was to investigate impacts change on grain rainfed wheat the Kashafrood basin situated northeastern Iran. Climate projections two General Circulation Models (HadCM3 CGCM2) scenarios (A2 B2) were employed study. A statistical downscaling method quantitative relationship between large‐scale...
