Harvest index (HI) is the ratio of grain to total shoot dry matter and as a measure reproductive efficiency. HI determined by interactions between genotypes (G), environment (E), crop management (M). Historic genetic yield gains due breeding in wheat have largely been achieved increasing HI. Environmental factors are important for include seasonal pattern water supply extreme temperatures during development. Wheat production Australia has dominated fast-developing spring cultivars that when...
Abstract The downside risk of crop production affects the entire supply chain agricultural industry nationally and globally. This also has a profound impact on food security, thus livelihoods, in many parts world. advent high temporal, spatial spectral resolution remote sensing platforms, specifically during last 5 years, advancement software pipelines cloud computing have resulted collating, analysing application ‘BIG DATA’ systems, especially agriculture. Furthermore, traditional novel...
The Wheat Initiative (WI) and the WI Expert Working Group (EWG) for Agronomy (www.wheatinitiative.org) were formed with a collective goal to "coordinate global wheat research efforts increase production, quality sustainability advance food security safety under changing climate conditions." EWG is responsive WI's need, "A knowledge exchange strategy ensure uptake of innovations on farm update scientists field realities." aims consolidate expertise agronomy focus production systems....
Matching flowering time to the optimal period in Mediterranean cropping zones is pivotal maximize yield. Aside from variety selection and sowing date, growers have limited options alter development season. Plant hormones growth regulators are used perennial horticultural systems manipulate floral initiation. In this study, a range of plant hormonal products were tested analyze their effects on barley (Hordeum vulgare L) by exogenous spray applications. Plants grown controlled conditions...
Accurate assessment of plant development is essential for agronomic management and scientific research, crop scales with repeatable reproducible protocols are required to achieve this. Development currently in use ambiguous, subjective qualitative, they do not describe all stages a crop's lifecycle, explicitly distinguish between culm-level crop-level development, incompatible modern analytical computational technologies. Here we propose two new wheat barley development: the Single Culm...
The relative time to maturity of grain crops is an important consideration for producers, yet there are no universally accepted classification schemes cultivar phenology guide decisions on variety selection and sowing. A first edition industry wheat was recently developed use across Australia, representing a significant step forward the grains industry. aim this paper revise extend make it more robust, agronomically functional meaningful Australian Cereal Phenology Classification (ACPC)...
Farmers are increasingly demanding rapid, cost-effective, easy-to-use and non-destructive methods for monitoring changes in the physical chemical characteristics of crops plants from early stages crop development until harvest. Remote proximal sensor tools have been used recently to monitor different aspects cereal production (e.g., fertilization, diseases). Most these characterized as non-destructive, non-invasive easy-to-use, most them based near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. This article...
