Policy makers, government planners and agricultural market participants in Pakistan require accurate and timely information about wheat yield and production. Punjab Province is by far the most important wheat producing region in the country. The manual collection of field data and data processing for crop forecasting by the provincial government requires significant amounts of time before offic...

No-till cropping is an option for growers needing to reduce soil erosion in the Palouse annual-cropped region of the Pacific Northwest, which is well suited for wheat production. A 6-yr field study was conducted to determine optimum levels of fertilizer and herbicide inputs in a no-till continuous wheat crop production system. Three levels of nitrogen (N) and two weed management levels (WML) we...

Genetic improvements in heat tolerance of wheat provide a potential adaptation response to long-term warming trends, and may also boost yields in wheat-growing areas already subject to heat stress. Yet there have been few assessments of recent progress in breeding wheat for hot environments. Here, data from 25 years of wheat trials in 76 countries from the International Maize and Wheat Improvem...

long term use of fallow in wheat-based cropping system of dry and semi-dry lands can increase erosion and decrease soil fertility. legumes as substituting crops for fallow could improve sustainability in this area. this study was conducted to evaluate the substituting of some legumes for fallow in a 2-yr wheat rotation at research stations in north khorasan province (natural resources research ...

Aquaculture needs to provide live food such as Artemia and one of the most important issues in A. franciscana rearing, is a food supply. The instar I nauplii were fed in seven treatments including Wheat bran, Rice bran, Soy-meal and algae (Dunaliella salina). For each treatment calculated growth rate, survival percentage, and body composition. At the reproductive period, 35 pairs were individua...

The world's population is predicted to exceed nine billion by 2050 and there is increasing concern about the capability of agriculture to feed such a large population. Foresight studies on food security are frequently based on crop yield trends estimated from yield time series provided by national and regional statistical agencies. Various types of statistical models have been proposed for the ...

Fluctuations in precipitation and higher evapotranspiration due to rising temperatures are reflected reduced wheat yields, even areas with a low historical incidence of drought. In this study, the effects drought (S) irrigation (IR) on spelt, einkorn wheat, two common cultivars were assessed field experiment years 2018–2021. Water availability was differentiated from flowering stage using mobil...

abstract a field experiment was conducted to study the competitiveness of wheat cultivars against bromus japonicus at sistan agricultural research station during 2003. the experimental design was a randomized complete block assigned in factorial arrangement of treatments with four replications. six wheat cultivars comprised two natives (old cultivars; boulani and kalak-afghni), and four new-rel...

In this study, a regional winter wheat yield prediction method was developed by integration of time series of Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer MODIS LAI products (MOD15A2) with WOrld FOod STudies (WOFOST) model through Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) algorithm at the regional scale in the Hengshui District, Hebei province in China. WOFOST model was selected as the crop growth dynamic...
