Quantifying Agroforestry Yield Buffering Potential Under Climate Change in the Smallholder Maize Farming Systems of Ethiopia

Frontiers in Agronomy, 2021
Agroforestry is a promising adaptation measure for climate change, especially for low external inputs smallholder maize farming systems. However, due to its long-term nature and heterogeneity across farms and landscapes, it is difficult to quantitatively

Prey – predator model on the interaction between the drawdown level of an aquifer and maize yield

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2017
Groundwater is a major source of water for irrigation purposes and for sustainable growth of Agricultural development. In this paper we formulated a mathematical model to analyse the interaction between the Draw-down levels in an unconfined aquifer with

Effects of Varieties and Nitrogen Fertilizer on Yield and Yield Components of Maize on Farmers Field in Mid Altitude Areas of Western Ethiopia

International Journal of Agronomy, 2017
Yield of maize hybrids could be low when grown below optimum management practices. Use of improved varieties and optimum nitrogen fertilizer application practices are unlocking the high yielding potential of hybrids maize.

The nutritional status and fluorescence characteristics of maize cultivars with different chlorophyll content and yields

Photosynthetica, 2019
Chlorophyll (Chl) is generally positively related to corn grain yields; however, light-leaf-colored maize may also achieve high yields. Thus, Chl is seemingly not a key parameter for maize producers.

Biomass and Methane Production in Double Cereal Cropping Systems with Different Winter Cereal and Maize Plant Densities

Agronomy, 2023
The biogas supply chain requires a correct combination of crops to maximize the methane yield per hectare. Field trials were carried out in North Italy over three growing seasons, according to a factorial combination of four cropping systems (maize as a ...

Global irrigation contribution to wheat and maize yield [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2021
AbstractIrrigation is the largest sector of human water use and an important option for increasing crop production and reducing drought impacts. However, the potential for irrigation to contribute to global crop yields remains uncertain. Here, we quantify this contribution for wheat and maize at global scale by developing a Bayesian framework ...

Leveraging inbred and hybrid association mapping coupled with transcriptome analyses to decipher the genetics underlying the general combining ability of maize flowering time

Industrial Crops and Products
Maize flowering time serves as a critical indicator for crop rotation, synchronization in hybrid seed production, climate resilience, and yield prediction in southwest China. Despite numerous literature reporting causal variants responsible for flowering

Maize ARGOS1 (ZAR1) transgenic alleles increase hybrid maize yield [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2013
Crop improvement for yield and drought tolerance is challenging due to the complex genetic nature of these traits and environmental dependencies. This study reports that transgenic over-expression of Zea mays AR GOS1 (ZAR1) enhanced maize organ growth, grain yield, and drought-stress tolerance.

INTERCROPPED WITH GROUNDNUT ON GROWTH, YIELD AND YIELD COMPONENTS OF BOTH CROPS [PDF]

Arab Universities Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2005
Two field trials were carried out at South Tahrir Research Station (Ali- Moubark). These trials were conducted in 2003 and 2004 to evaluate three planting dates of maize (the over story shade crop) intercropped with groundnut i.e, on 1st June, 10th June ...
