climate change has direct and indirect consequences on crop production and food security. agriculture and cropproduction is one of the factors which depend on the weather conditions and it provides the human requirements inmany aspects. the objective of this study is to assess the impacts of future climatic change on irrigated rice yieldusing the ceres-rice model in the southern coast of caspia...

Pre-harvest desiccation of rapeseed crop may allow a more timely harvest as well as increase the speed and harvest operation efficiency as a second crop after rice. An effective desiccant which could be used as a harvest-aid with no negative effects on rapeseed yield and quality would be advantageous for oil seed crop producers and may reduce yield losses with no interferential effects on rice ...

abstract the propose of this study was evaluation of cropsyst model on growth simulation and yield stimation of canola under different irrigation treatments. canola (talaye) was sown under 5 treatment and 4 replicants in completed randomized block designs at the college of agriculture, shiraz universityduring 2007-2008. during the growth season dry mass and lai was meseaured frequently, then mo...

Precision Farming (PF) management strategies are commonly based on estimations of within-field yield potential, often derived from remotely-sensed products, e.g., Vegetation Index (VI) maps. These well-established means, however, lack important information, like crop height. Combinations of VI-maps and detailed 3D Crop Surface Models (CSMs) enable advanced methods for crop yield prediction. Thi...

the morphological river evolution at long-time (centuries and even millennia) and large spatial scale (watersheds of several square kilometres) can be described by means of simplified 1d models, able to simulate the variation of bed elevation and grain size composition at non-detailed scales, involving a reduced computational effort. the erosion and deposition phenomena acting along rivers can ...
