Sustainable vegetable crop supply problem
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2010)
We consider an agricultural production problem, in which one must meet a known demand of crops while respecting ecologically-based production constraints. The problem is twofold: in order to meet the demand, one must ...
Environmental impacts and energy demand of rapeseed as an energy crop in Chile under different fertilization and tillage practices
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2012)
Prospects for plant productivity: From the canopy to the nucleus
(Oxford University Press, 2021-05)
Population growth has been closely associated with agricultural production, since the first famine predicted by Malthus (1798) up to the Green Revolution of the past century. Today, we continue to face increasing demand ...
A genetic algorithm for crop rotation
(2012-06-13)
In the last few years, crop rotation has gained attention due to its economic, environmental and social importance which explains why it can be highly beneficial for farmers. This paper presents a mathematical model for ...
Ex Post Analysis of Water Supply Demand in an Agricultural Basin by Multi-Source Data Integration
(2021)
In this work, we present a new methodology integrating data from multiple sources, such as observations from the Landsat-8 (L8) and Sentinel-2 (S2) satellites, with information gathered in field campaigns and information ...
Potential water demand from the agricultural sector in hydrographic sub-basins in the southeast of the state of São Paulo-Brazil
(2021-10-01)
In Brazil, water management in agriculture is an extremely important issue in terms of water security, as well as in other regions of the world. Thus, the study presents a method to measure the potential water demand in ...
Potential, attainable, and current levels of global crop diversity
(IOP Publishing, 2022-04-04)
High levels of crop species diversity are considered beneficial. However, increasing diversity might be difficult because of environmental constraints and the reliance on a few major crops for most food supply. Here we ...
A tailor-made crop growth model for the tomato production systems in Colombia
Potential crop models simulate the plant growth under nonlimiting
biophysical conditions with no other factor than
the climate to which the plants are exposed to. These models
may fail to adequately represent the crop ...
