To further reveal the relationships between different variables and yield at each growth stage of winter wheat, an approach for estimating regional yields wheat multiple time scales was developed by assimilating CERES-Wheat model simulations remotely sensed observations. Specifically, particle filter assimilation algorithm chosen to assimilate simulated soil moisture depth 0–20 cm leaf area ind...

This is a summary of the winter wheat production conditions in southeast Kansas 2021-2022 and results variety testing. Wheat 2022 benefited from dry at flowering harvest. Overall yields hard red were above multi-year averages, while soft below 15-year average. As previous years, out-yielded varieties, but extent was not as dramatic years.

Cereal-legume intercropping can increase yields, reduce fertilizer input and improve soil quality compared with pure culture. Designing systems requires the integration of plant species trait selection choice crop configuration management. Crop growth models facilitate understanding prediction interactions between traits, However, currently no existing model has been calibrated tested for cerea...

Wheat is an important food grain worldwide, and it is the primary dryland crop in the western Great Plains. A complex of three viruses (Wheat streak mosaic, Wheat mosaic, and Triticum mosaic viruses) is a common cause of loss in winter wheat production in the Great Plains. All these viruses are transmitted by the wheat curl mite (Aceria tosichella Keifer). Once these viruses are established, th...

Beginning in 2012, research was conducted near Garden City and Tribune, KS, to determine the effect of a single tillage operation every 3 years on grain yields wheat-sorghum-fallow (WSF) rotation. Treatments included no-till, post wheat harvest mid-August, mid-June during fallow phase. This study revised with two additional more intensive treatments since 2019. The were 1) operations phase 2) o...

Europe has experienced a stagnation of some crop yields since the early 1990s as well as statistically significant warming during the growing season. Although it has been argued that these two are causally connected, no previous studies have formally attributed long-term yield trends to a changing climate. Here, we present two statistical tests based on the distinctive spatial pattern of climat...

BACKGROUND The oyster mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus, is cultivated worldwide. It is one of the most appreciated mushrooms due to its high nutritional value. Immersion of the substrate in hot water is one of the most popular and worldwide treatment used for mushroom farmers. It is cheap and easy to implement. AIMS To compare the yields obtained during mushroom production of P. ostreatus using ...

Previous reports from laboratory-controlled experiments and models considered that a shorter reproductive period could be the main reason for wheat yield reduction in the warmer world. However, this conclusion needs to be proved carefully by field-scale experiments. In this study, a field-scale continuous open-warming experiment was conducted to quantify the adjustment of winter wheat growth an...

Simulating organic agriculture is a considerable challenge. One reason that few models are capable of simulating crop-pest interactions and the yield losses they cause. Here, recently developed process-based model (Pest-EPIC) was used to simulate conventional in European Union for years 1995–2100. Yields pesticide application rates were calibrated against FAOSTAT Eurostat data. Results indicate...

Wheat is globally one of the most important crops. With the current human population growth rate, there is an increasing need to raise wheat productivity by means of plant breeding, along with development of more efficient and sustainable agricultural systems. Damage by pathogens and pests, in combination with adverse climate effects, need to be counteracted by incorporating new germplasm that ...
