This study presents a comparison of the usual statistical methods used for crop model assessment. A case was conducted using data set from observations total dry weight in diploid potato crop, and six simulated sets derived observationsaimed to predict measured data. Statistical indices such as coefficient determination, root mean squared error, relative index agreement, modified revised modeli...

Crop yield and economic profitability, both highly dependent on local crop management, soil characteristics, weather conditions, are among the most influential factors to consider when considering a cropping system. The objective of this study was compare returns three different 4-yr diverse rotations with that 2-yr traditional rotation in eastern South Dakota. included were (a) corn (Zea mays ...

Abstract Soils contain diverse living communities that provide key ecosystem functions in agroecosystems. In many systems, are positively related to the taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional diversity of community. Despite calls incorporate microbial measures soil health, whether increased per se can predict crop health productivity has rarely been documented. Here, we used from commercial po...

Evapotranspiration (ETc) partitioning and obtaining of FAO56 dual crop coefficient (Kc) for olive was carried out with the SIMDualKc software application for root zone and topsoil soil water balance based on the dual crop coefficients. A simplified two source-energy balance model (STSEB), based on daily remotely sensed soil and canopy thermal infrared data and retrieval of surface fluxes, also ...
