Accurate estimation of radiation use efficiency (RUE) at variable timed sowing dates will enhance the prediction plant dry matter accumulation. The objectives this study were to (1) determine impact three on productivity, performance, and economic feasibility biomass sorghum hybrids (2) evaluate variability RUE in production under effects dates. Over a two-year experiment, grown monitored different seasons optimal growth conditions. Average (DB) productivity harvest ranged from 22.71 32.77...
Abstract. Energy sorghum is one of the most attractive alternatives for producing energy in many regions world because high biomass productivity obtained a short period. However, it faces challenges, particularly where water resources are limited. Crop simulation models suitable decision support tools assessment crop use and production under different spatial climatic conditions. Calibration to local conditions necessary procedure improve model reliability. The objective this study was...
Abstract. Biomass sorghum ( (L.) Moench) is widely recognized for its high biomass yield potential, efficiency in converting solar energy into biomass, and water use biofuel production. Therefore, it could be a sustainable alternative to traditional food/feed crops south Texas. The objectives of this investigation were to: (1) quantify the growth response dry productivity forage hybrid (Pioneer 877F) two high-biomass hybrids (Blade ES 5140 Blade 5200) Texas, (2) determine radiation (RUE)...
Huanglongbing (HLB), also known as citrus greening disease, is a devastating disease of citrus. However, there no cure so far. Recently, under Section 24(c) the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), special local need label was approved that allows trunk injection antimicrobials such oxytetracycline (OTC) for HLB management in Florida. The objectives this study were to use UAS-based remote sensing assess effectiveness OTC on HLB-affected trees Texas differentiate...
Water availability and supply are critical factors in the production of bioenergy. Dry biomass productivity water use efficiency (WUE) two sorghum cultivars (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) were studied different climatic locations during 2014 2015. The objective this field study was to evaluate dry energy grown environments: one at Pecos located Chihuahuan Desert a second Weslaco Lower Rio Grande bordering Mexico with semiarid environment. There significant differences between WUE. ranged from...
