Response of Taro to Varying Water Regimes and Soil Textures
(Asce-amer Soc Civil Engineers, 2019-03-01)
Taro [Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott] is a major root crop widely distributed in the tropics and subtropics. However, little information is available on its water stress tolerance under different soil textures. Therefore, ...
Yield and Water Productivity Responses to Irrigation Cut-off Strategies after Fruit Set Using Stem Water Potential Thresholds in a Super-High Density Olive Orchard
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2017-07)
An increase in the land area dedicated to super-high density olive orchards has occurred in Chile in recent years. Such modern orchards have high irrigation requirements, and optimizing water use is a priority. Moreover, ...
Alternative to peat for Agaricus brasiliensis yield
(2010-01-01)
Casing layer is one of the most important components of Agaricus spp. production and it directly affects mushroom productivity, size and mass. The aim of this study was to evaluate potential raw materials as a casing layer ...

Interactive effects of water-table depth, rainfall variation, and sowing date on maize production in the Western Pampas
(Elsevier Science, 2014-12)
Shallow water-tables strongly influence agro-ecosystems and pose difficult management challenges to farmers trying to minimize their negative effects on crops and maximize their benefits. In this paper, we evaluated how ...
Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) yield as affected by nitrogen fertilization and different water regimes
(2017-01-01)
Due to its origin and hardiness, safflower is usually cultivated in low-fertility soils with few inputs and no irrigation. In Brazil, little is known about its response to nitrogen (N) and irrigation. This study was carried ...
Early assessment of crop yield from remotely sensed water stress and solar radiation data
(Elsevier Science, 2018-11)
Soil moisture (SM) available for evapotranspiration is crucial for food security, given the significant interannual yield variability of rainfed crops in large agricultural regions. Also, incoming solar radiation (Rs) ...
Quantifying yield and water productivity gaps in an irrigation district under rotational delivery schedule
(2016-01)
Removal of irrigation network limitations under a rotational delivery schedule has been focused on improving infrastructures without paying sufficient attention to improving management. We developed a methodology to assess ...
