Precision crop production requires accurate yield prediction and nitrogen management. Crop simulation models may assist in exploring alternative management systems for optimizing water, nutrient microelements use efficiencies, increasing maize yields. Our objectives were: (i) to access the ability of CERES-Maize model predicting yields long-term experiments Hungary; (ii) assess effects differen...

Field trials were carried out in the Sudan Savannah of Nigeria to assess the usefulness of CERES-maize crop model as a decision support tool for optimizing maize production through manipulation of plant dates. The calibration experiments comprised of 20 maize varieties planted during the dry and rainy seasons of 2014 and 2015 at Bayero University Kano and Audu Bako College of Agriculture Dambat...

Concerns have been raised on the effectiveness and sustainability of Soil Water Conservation (SWC) practices as adaptation options to climate change high intra– inter–annual rainfall variabilities in eastern Democratic Republic Congo (DRC). This study was conducted Ruzizi Plain, a dryland area, assess performance maize (Zea mays L.) under two Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP 4.5 8.5) ...

abstract development and evaluation of mitigation strategies are very crucial to manage climate change risk. research objectives of this study were (1) to quantify the response of maize grain yield to potential impacts of climate change and (2) to investigate the effectiveness of changing sowing date of maize as a mitigation option for khorasan province which is located in northeast of iran. tw...

As the climate changes, a growing demand exists to identify and manage spatial variation in crop yield ensure global food security. This study assesses soil variability its impact on maize under future eastern Kansas’ top ten maize-producing counties. A cropping system model, CERES-Maize of Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT) was calibrated using observed yield. To accou...
