1. Assessing Soybean Water Stress Patterns and ENSO Occurrence in Southern Brazil: an in Silico ApproachWater stress (WS) is one of the most important abiotic stresses worldwide, responsible for crop yield penalties and impacting food supply. The frequency and intensity of weather stresses are relevant to delimitating agricultural regions. In addition, El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) has been employed to forecast the occurrence of seasonal WS. Lastly, planting date and cultivar maturity selection are key management strategies for boosting soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) yield... A. Carcedo, L.F. Antunes de almeida, T. Horbe, G.

2. Environmental Characterization for Rainfed Maize Production in the US Great Plains RegionIdentifying regions with similar productivity and yield-limiting climatic factors enables the design of tailored strategies for rainfed maize (Zea mays L.) production in vulnerable environments. Within the United States (US) Great Plains region, rainfed maize production in Kansas is susceptible to weather fluctuations. This study aims to delimit environmental regions with similar crop growth conditions and to identify the main climatic factors limiting rainfed maize yield, using the state... L.N. Lingua, A.

3. Towards in Situ Monitoring of Root Growth Traits: Combining Spectral Imaging with Transparent Bed HydroponicsWe developed a novel method that enables non-laboratory monitoring of the growth characteristics of crop root systems by combining spectral imaging with a transparent bed hydroponics. Root systems of spinach grown were observed through the transparent bottom plate using a hyperspectral camera daily. An optimal index for the classification of root ages (days after emergence) was determined as the ratio of reflectance at 498 and 601 nm. Additionally, the distribution of root age was visualized over... D. Yasutake |
4. Assessment of Light Interception Considering Plant Architecture is Important for Yield Prediction in StrawberryCrop yield depends on whole‒plant photosynthesis, which is limited by the light interception by each leaf and its individual photosynthetic capacity. To date, there are some researches on assessments of yield considering their plant architecture and photosynthetic capacities in tomato and cucumber. However, there are few in strawberry although its cultivars exhibit considerable variation in their plant architecture and photosynthetic capacity. This research gap could significantly hinder accurate... D. Yasutake |
