Unraveling Ecophysiological Mechanisms in Potatoes under Different Irrigation Methods: A Preliminary Field Evaluation
(2020)
Potatoes—a global food security and staple crop—is threatened by dry spells in drought-prone areas. The use of physiological thresholds to save water while maintaining a reasonable tuber yield has been proposed, but their ...
Non-destructive estimation of the leaf weight and leaf area in common bean
(MDPI, 2022)
Regression models to predict leaf area and leaf weight in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) were fitted using the three leaflets of the leaves. A total of 1504 leaves from 40 genotypes were collected, covering a large range ...
Water Saving Using Thermal Imagery-Based Thresholds for Timing Irrigation in Potatoes under Drip and Furrow Irrigation Systems
(Agronomy, 2022)
Under the current water crisis in agriculture, irrigation methods for saving and conserving water are necessary. However, these methods must guarantee an appropriate yield with a concomitant economic benefit and a reduced ...
Risk analysis and cacao pod survivorship curves to improve yield forecasting methods
(Frontiers, 2024-03-22)
Cocoa attainable yields are affected by a complex of pests and diseases in a particular agro-environment. Estimation of yield loss is critical for agronomic and economic decision-making at the farm level. For over 15 months, ...
