1. Climate Change And Sustainable Precision Crop Production With Regard To Maize (Zea Mays L.)Precision crop production research activities were started during the mid-‘90s at the Institute of Biosystems Engineering, Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences, University of West Hungary. On the basis of the experiences with DSSAT (Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer) the impact of climate change on maize yield (three soil types) was investigated until 2100. DSSAT crop growth model is used worldwide. The coupled model intercomparison project... A.J. Kovács, A. Nyéki, G. Milics, M. Neményi |
2. Using the Adapt-N Model to Inform Policies Promoting the Sustainability of US Maize ProductionMaize (Zea mays L.) production accounts for the largest share of crop land area in the U.S. It is the largest consumer of nitrogen (N) fertilizers but has low N Recovery Efficiency (NRE, the proportion of applied N taken up by the crop). This has resulted in well-documented environmental problems and social costs associated with high reactive N losses associated with maize production. There is a potential to reduce these costs through precision management, i.e., better application timing, use... S. Sela, H. Van-es, E. Mclellan, J. Melkonian, R. Marjerison , K. Constas |
