Optimizing Winter Wheat Resilience to Climate Change in Rain Fed Crop Systems of Turkey and Iran
Erratic weather patterns associated with increased temperatures and decreasing rainfall pose unique challenges for wheat breeders playing a key part in the fight to ensure global food security. Within rain fed winter wheat ...
Investigating root system architectural traits in durum wheat to improve adaptation to drought and crown rot conditions
Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum) producers can experience significant yield and grain losses due to crown rot (CR) disease, caused primarily by a fungal pathogen Fusarium pseudograminearum. Losses due to CR ...
Slow rusting of bread wheat landraces to Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici under artificial field inoculation
Yellow rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici is the most devastating fungal disease of wheat, especially in the Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region. Most of the released cultivars in CWANA ...
Modeling Producer Responses with Dynamic Programming: A Case for Adaptive Crop Management
Past research found agricultural producers’ conditional responses during the growing season are important adaptations to weather and other stochastic events. Failing to recognize these responses overstates the risks ...
