Argentina is the single exporter of non-gmo hard endosperm maize to the European Union, and is internationally known for its grain hardness. This special hard endosperm maize supply chain follows strict regulations to ...

Delaying maize (Zea mays L.) sowing date can diminish grain yields through reductions in the number, size and activity of growing grains (sink strength) and/or reductions in the assimilate supply (source capacity) to grains ...

In southeastern Brazil, there has been increasing interest in cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] cultivation as a second crop. A three-year study was conducted to evaluate the growth, seed yield, and seed protein of ...

Studies on the use of deficit irrigation and application of models for estimating agronomic performance of crops can help in more sustainable agricultural managements. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect ...

A better understanding of widespread agricultural practices adopted in the region of Ribeira Valley, São Paulo, Brazil for upland rice (Oryza sativa L.) production is needed. The objectives of this study were to determine ...

Delayed sowing date of maize (Zea mays L.) has become a broadly adopted practice in the Pampas region of Argentina, because late-sown crops frequently experience a more favorable water balance around flowering and a reduction ...

The demand for functional foods such as chia has increased in recent years. In view of this, there is a need to expand studies with this species, mainly in agronomic aspects in the regions with adequate edaphoclimatic ...

Optimizing grain production implies defining the best management practices for a set of particular environments. Argentinean farmers in the central temperate region are sowing maize at two contrasting sowing dates (September ...
