In according with wheat ecophysiological characteristics, the author applied technologies of system engineering method, crop simulation and computer to build wheat developing process cooperative models including growth model, developmental phase models, water balance model and nitrogen balance model etc. with the support of basic data such as variety characteristics, weather data, soil level an...

Many plant breeding trials often include a large number of genotypes with possibly no repeated field plots. Ineffective control of field variation could result in an inflated residual variance and/or biased estimation/prediction of genetic effects. Three hundred thirty seven (337) multi-parental spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) F2 hybrids were grown in two locations in South Dakota without r...

Wheat ( L.) breeding programs test experimental lines in multiple locations over multiple years to get an accurate assessment of grain yield and yield stability. Selections in early generations of the breeding pipeline are based on information from only one or few locations and thus materials are advanced with little knowledge of the genotype × environment interaction (G × E) effects. Later, la...

plant growth regulators (pgrs) are widely used for lodging control in winter wheat (triticum aestivum l.) grown at high n rates. although the introduction of semi-dwarf wheat cultivars had largely solved the problem of lodging, evidence was already accumu-lating that the timely application of a growth retardant such as chlormequat (ccc) or ethephon could increase the grain yield of wheat, by th...

in this study, the performance of aquacrop model to predict yield production of winter wheat (roshan and gods varieties), water and solute balance of soil profile was evaluated under water and salinity stresses. field experiments were conducted with three levels of saline irrigation water including: s1, s2 and s3corresponding to 1.4, 4.5 and 9.6 ds/m, respectively, and four levels of irrigation...

Winter wheat crop yield forecasting at national, regional and local scales is an extremely important task. This paper aims at assessing the efficiency (in terms of prediction error minimization) of satellite and biophysical model based predictors assimilation into winter wheat crop yield forecasting models at different scales (region, county and field) for one of the regions in central part of ...

This study aims to evaluate the impacts of climate change and technical progress on the wheat yield per unit area from 1970 to 2014 in Henan, the largest agricultural province in China, using an autoregressive distributed lag approach. The bounded F-test for cointegration among the model variables yielded evidence of a long-run relationship among climate change, technical progress, and the whea...
