Forecasting daily reference evapotranspiration for Australia using numerical weather prediction outputs
Farmers and irrigation system operators make real-time irrigation decisions based on a range of
factors including crop water requirement and short-term weather forecasts of rainfall and air temperature.
Forecasts of reference ...
Stabilized Nitrogen Fertilizers to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Improve Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Australian Agriculture
Loss of nitrogen (N) from applied fertilizer is a major cause of inefficiency in N fertilizer utilization. This loss of N can occur through many pathways including ammonia (NH3) volatilization, nitrate (NO3) leaching and ...
Water–energy–greenhouse gas nexus of urban water systems: Review of concepts, state-of-art and methods
Water supply and wastewater services incur a large amount of energy and GHG emissions. It is therefore
imperative to understand the link between water and energy as their availability and demand are
closely interrelated. ...
Genome-Wide Association Mapping for Seedling and Adult Plant Resistance to Stripe Rust in Synthetic Hexaploid Wheat
Use of genetic diversity from related wild and domesticated species has made a significant contribution to improving wheat productivity. Synthetic hexaploid wheats (SHWs) exhibit natural genetic variation for resistance ...
Economics of salt-induced land degradation and restoration
Food security concerns and the scarcity of new productive land have put productivity enhancement of degraded lands back
on the political agenda. In such a context, salt-affected lands are a valuable resource that cannot ...
