The Interrelationship Between Water Use Efficiency and Radiation Use Efficiency Under Progressive Soil Drying in Maize [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The maximizing of water use efficiency (WUE) and radiation use efficiency (RUE) is vital to improving crop production in dryland farming systems. However, the fundamental question as to the association of WUE with RUE and its underlying mechanism under ...

The importance of radiation for semiempirical water-use efficiency models [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2017
Water-use efficiency (WUE) is a fundamental property for the coupling of carbon and water cycles in plants and ecosystems. Existing model formulations predicting this variable differ in the type of response of WUE to the atmospheric vapor pressure ...

Estimating Soybean Radiation Use Efficiency Using a UAV in Iowa [PDF]

Agronomy, 2020
Radiation use efficiency (RUE) is difficult to estimate and unreasonable to perform on a small plot scale using traditional techniques. However, the increased availability of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) provides the ability to collect spatial and ...

Sorghum dwarfing genes can affect radiation capture and radiation use efficiency [PDF]

Field Crops Research, 2013
Presence of the dw3 sorghum dwarfing gene had negative effects on grain yield in some genetic backgrounds and environments. In a previous study we showed that this was due to a significant reduction in shoot biomass (mainly via reduced stem mass), which in turn negatively affected grain size. The current study examines whether shoot biomass was reduced

Radiation interception and radiation use efficiency of wheat and pea under different P availabilities

Field Crops Research, 2012
Abstract Above-ground biomass of crops can be expressed as the product between the cumulative intercepted radiation by the crop canopy (IR) and the radiation use efficiency (RUE) of the crop. The aim of the present study was to comparatively evaluate in wheat and pea these ecophysiological determinants of biomass under different P supplies at field ...

The Fraction of Intercepted Radiation to Nitrogen Absorption as an Indicator for Assessing Physiological Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Rice

Agronomy, 2022
Improving nitrogen (N) use efficiency is important for achieving sustainable rice production in China. Physiological N use efficiency (PNUE) is a measure of a plant’s ability to convert absorbed N into biomass, and can be calculated as the product of the

Yield and Resource Utilization Efficiency Gap in Early Maturing Japonica Rice Cultivars under Different Management Strategies—A Different Location Investigation

Agriculture, 2022
High input costs and poor management options have resulted in a large rice yield gap. Thus, there is a need to reduce production costs and improve resource-use efficiency by using new cultivation techniques at different locations.

Effect of tillage and irrigation management on radiation use efficiency of wheat (Triticum aestivum)

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2022
Field experiments were conducted during 2015–16 and 2016–17 on wheat (cv HD2967) in a sandy loam soil at ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi to study the effect of tillage and irrigation management on radiation use efficiency (RUE)
