Modeling maize growth and development in temperate and tropical agro‐climatic systems using MAIZSIM

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract MAIZSIM is a mechanistic maize (Zea mays L.) crop model with a two‐dimensional finite element‐based soil simulator, known for its detailed process‐based representation and minimal calibration requirements. While the model has been extensively applied in temperate agro‐climatic systems, its use in tropical areas has not been explored.

Corn response to broiler litter total cleanout frequency

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Broiler (Gallus gallus domesticus) litter is a valuable nutrient source for corn (Zea mays L.) production in the southeastern United States; however, differences in total cleanout frequency of broiler houses may influence the agronomic value of broiler litter. A 3‐year field study was established on Decatur silt loam and Malbis sandy clay loam

Effect of sowing date and genotype on pearl millet yield across semi‐arid regions of Sub‐Saharan Africa

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract In climate change–vulnerable, food‐insecure semi‐arid regions of Sub‐Saharan Africa, limited studies compared the performance of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.)] landraces and improved genotypes under staggered sowing to establish their interactions, resulting in a generalization that landraces are lower yielding than their improved ...

Does high-intensity light pre-treatment improve drought response in Thymus zygis ssp. gracilis?

Plant Stress
Global concern regarding climate change is prompting the development of strategies to improve the resistance of plants to abiotic stresses. Drought is one of the main threats that affect the productivity of rainfed crops, such as T. zygis ssp.

Should cotton growers apply full nitrogen rate when using broiler‐litter as soil amendment?

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Nitrogen plays a critical role in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production. Interest in using broiler (Gallus gallus domesticus) litter has increased in recent years due to its nutrient and soil health benefits. However, growers typically do not discount the N present in broiler litter and apply a full dose of fertilizer N.

Quality Assessment and Predictive Modeling of Chickpea, Lentil and Camelina Yield: Effects of Nitrogen, Irrigation, Rainfed Conditions, and Intercropping Using Machine Learning Approaches

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Given increasing water scarcity, the need to reduce chemical inputs, and the growing demand for nutritionally valuable vegetable oils, identifying sustainable cropping systems for camelina production has become increasingly important. This study aimed to evaluate the combined effects of nitrogen application, irrigation regimes (irrigated and ...
