Modifying the Dual Crop Coefficients with Leaf Area Index and Meteorological Factors to Improve the Estimated Evapotranspiration from Maize Fields

Guan'gai paishui xuebao, 2023
【Objective】 Evapotranspiration consists of plant transpiration (Tr) and soil surface evaporation (Es); It is a critical component in the hydrological cycle, often estimated using meteorological and plant data.

The Power of Unity: Collective Action and Smallholder Agricultural Performance in West Africa

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We analyze the impact of collective action through farmer‐based organizations (FBOs) on smallholders' farm performance and income inequality in Ghana, Benin, The Gambia, and Mali. We find that FBO membership increases cereal yield in Ghana and The Gambia, legume yield in Mali, ruminant numbers in Benin and The Gambia, and total farm income in ...

New Evapotranspiration Crop Coefficients [PDF]

Journal of the Irrigation and Drainage Division, 1982
Improved crop coefficients for various Pacific Northwest irrigated crops were developed for estimating crop evapotranspiration (ET) from estimates or measurements of reference ET. Reference ET was based on that for well watered, actively growing alfalfa with sufficient growth for near maximum ET in arid, irrigated regions.

A mosaic of microclimates: biodiversity outcomes and wildlife habitat potential in large‐scale solar facilities

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure

A Systemic Model for Understanding Business Interactions With Biodiversity and Ecosystems

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation represent critical threats to human well‐being and economic resilience, challenging businesses to understand and manage their interdependence with natural systems. This study develops a systemic framework—the BioModel—that elucidates the reciprocal relationship between businesses, biodiversity, and ...

Evapotranspiration from Maize Studied Using Weighing Lysimeters

Guan'gai paishui xuebao, 2021
【Objective】 Evapotranspiration is important not only as a component of the hydrological cycle but also for its role in modulating crop growth. The purpose of this paper is to measure the evapotranspiration of spring maize using weighing lysimeters and ...

Microbiome‐mediated plant‐soil feedbacks as a tool for resilient agriculture

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Translating plant‐soil feedbacks (PSFs) into reliable agricultural management requires shifting from input‐dependent practices toward endogenous, process‐driven crop resilience. To bridge this gap, we propose a predictive framework centered on three strategic interventions: engineering the crop holobiont, diversifying the soil habitat, and deploying ...

Evapotranspiration and crop coefficient of cucumber in greenhouse [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 2003
The evapotranspiration (ETc) and crop coefficient (Kc) of cucumber in a greenhouse were determined during the winter-spring season in Piracicaba, SP, Brazil. Crop was irrigated with water of three different levels of salinity: S1 = 1.5, S2 = 3.1 and S3 = 5.2 dS m-1.

Estimation and verification of autumn lettuce evapotranspiration in greenhouse based on single crop coefficient method

Guan'gai paishui xuebao
【Objective】 The variation in evapotranspiration is an important parameter in irrigation design. In this paper, we propose and verify a modified single crop coefficient method to calculate the evapotranspiration of greenhouse lettuce.
