1. Rapid Sensing For Water Stress Detection In Foxtail Millet (Setaria Italica)In recent years, the drought conditions due to changing climate patterns have adversely affected the U.S. agriculture. The 2012 drought that damaged major crops in Midwest was one of the most severe in last 25 years. It has resulted in losses of production, revenue, livestock and jobs, and has increased food prices. Under these circumstances, farmers are focused to use the water resources carefully. The researchers are working together to develop new crop varieties resistant to water... S. Sankaran, M. Wang, P.

2. On-farm Experimentation Case Study in Brazil: Evaluation of Soybean Seeding Rate Using Resources Available at the FarmIn order to maximize grain yield in soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) it is necessary that the plant population is correctly defined. Production environments differ spatially, and cultivar holders suggest plant populations across macroregions and in broad ranges. Refinements of planting seasons and populations are carried out through tests on many properties, often costly and sometimes unrepresentative of most fields. Tools for managing spatial variability are ways to conduct more... M. Rodrigues alves franchi, I. Molina cyrineu, F. Kagami taira, L. Hunhoff, L.M. Gimenez |
