Comparison of four EVI-based models for estimating gross primary production of maize and soybean croplands and tallgrass prairie under severe drought
Accurate estimation of gross primary production (GPP) is critical for understanding ecosystem response to climate
variability and change. Satellite-based diagnostic models, which use satellite images and/or climate data
as ...
Reliability of Yield Mapping System for Estimating Perennial Ryegrass Seed Yield
Seed yield is an important factor to any farmer. Most farmers recognize that yield will vary within a field due to many factors, but they are unaware of the actual magnitude of the yield variability. Yield mapping is a ...
Lentils (Lens culinaris L.), a Rich Source of Folates
The potential for genetic biofortification of U.S.-grown lentils (Lens culinaris L.) with bioavailable folate has not
been widely studied. The objectives of this study were (1) to determine the folate concentration of 10 ...
Crop water use and stage-specific crop coefficients for irrigated cottonin the mid-south, United States
Regional variations in environmental conditions, cultivars, and management practices necessitate locallyderived tools for crop water use estimation and irrigation scheduling. A study was conducted in northeastLouisiana ...
Watershed moisture sensing in Jordan: Water in the Cloud
Presentation about the Installation of Acclima soil moisture sensors, nodes and readout devices on the watershed restoration site in Jordan.
Role of geoinformatics in ensuing global food security with special reference to dryland agroecosystems
Agriculture plays an important role in providing
food security in developing countries. Better agricultural
information is one of the key factors in understanding current
trends and status that determine food security from ...
Improved Decision Making for Deficit Irrigation of Wheat in Northern Syria
Increasing water scarcity due to population growth and urbanization is pushing the countries in the Mediterranean region to improve their irrigation water use efficiency. Supplemental irrigation of rain-fed crops is a very ...
Scale Effects of STATSGO and SSURGO on Flow and Water Quality Predictions
Soil information is one of the crucial inputs needed to assess the impacts of existing and alternative agricultural man- agement practices on water quality. Therefore, it is important to understand the effects of spatial ...
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 ...
Spectral Reflectance Models for Characterizing Winter Wheat Genotypes
Optimum wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield can be achieved by
developing and growing the best genotypes in the most suited
environments. However, exhaustive field measurements are
required to characterize plants with ...
