Salinity and crop yield

Plant Biology, 2018
AbstractThirty crop species provide 90% of our food, most of which display severe yield losses under moderate salinity. Securing and augmenting agricultural yield in times of global warming and population increase is urgent and should, aside from ameliorating saline soils, include attempts to increase crop plant salt tolerance.

The hidden half of crop yields

Nature Plants, 2015
The tremendous gains in crop yields seen over the twentieth century were underpinned by fertilizer use and manipulation of the aboveground parts of the plant. To meet the food demands of the twenty-first century, plant scientists must turn their attention belowground.

Geography of crop yield skewness

Agricultural Economics, 2015
AbstractAnalysis of crop yield distributions provides insights into better understanding how natural resources shape agricultural productivity. This study seeks to provide a rigorous theoretical and empirical understanding of the effects of exogenous geographic and climatic factors on the first three moments of crop yields with focus on the third ...

Crop Yield and Democracy

Land Economics, 2020
How does the historical legacy of agriculture affect democratic traditions in contemporary societies? This paper provides empirical evidence that inherent crop yield and democracy exhibit an inverted U-shaped relationship. This finding is supported by cross-country data from up to 147 countries, 186 pre-colonial societies, and the U.S. states.

Crop growth and yield.

2018
Abstract This chapter focuses on the various processes that determine the growth and yield of tomatoes, with emphasis on the influence of environmental factors and crop management, such as light, carbon dioxide, temperature, humidity, salinity, plant density and leaf and fruit pruning.

Crop growth and yield.

2005
The processes that determine tomato crop growth and yield are considered in detail, with emphasis on the influence of environmental factors such as light, CO2, temperature, humidity and salinity. The main topics are as follows: Biomass production (leaf area and light interception, leaf and crop photosynthesis); Crop and fruit growth; Biomass ...

Ozone And Crop Yield

Annual Review of Phytopathology, 1989
Ozone (03) in the atmosphere plays a dual role in its effects on the earth's environment. In the stratosphere, it performs a critical task of absorbing some of the sun's ultraviolet radiation. Paradoxically, 03 in the troposphere is a component of photochemical air pollution and causes more damage to vegeta­ tion than all other pollutants combined.

Crop Yield Prediction

2023
The fast pace of urban development minimize the agricultural lands. Owing to poor rainfall and drastic climatic changes farmers often face challenges to sustain cultivation of crops with respect to crop cycle. With growing economic competition and rising population, governmental agencies design long term plans which rarely address the farmer's needs ...

Maximizing crop yield in alley crops

Agroforestry Systems, 1998
A simple graphical model is presented illustrating the balance between facilitation and competition necessary for maximizing crop yield in alley cropping systems. Three functions are composed into the decision function: (1) the percent increase in crop yield from facilitation resulting from prunings, (2) the amount of prunings resulting from different ...
