Irrigation of farmland is a popular agricultural practice in semi-arid areas in China. However, little is known about the impacts of different irrigation strategies on grain yield and soil microbial communities, particularly economically-important arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. The aim of...

Model WSM (Wheat Simulation Model) was developed based on the previous model (MSM, Maize Simulation Model). The planted cultivar was Shiraz with five irrigation treatments (1.2, 1.0, 0.8, and 0.5 ratios of the potential irrigation requirement under surface irrigation system and rain-fed) and...

By using correlation analysis method, regression analysis method and time sequence method, we combine time and space, to establish grain geld spatio-temporal regression prediction model of Henan Province and ail prefecture-level cities. At first, we use the grain geld in prefecture-level cities...

We build the influence function empirical model of China's grain production at the present stage in view of the factors influencing direct grain subsidies, using Cobb-Douglas production function model. And we estimate the elasticity coefficient of impact of China's direct grain subsidies on...

While no-till (NT) cropping systems can provide conservation benefits in the northern Corn Belt, adoption has been low due to concerns about potential yield reductions and economic risk. Strip-tillage (ST) systems have been proposed as an alternative that may provide many of the conservation...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of the Decision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer – Cropping System Model (DSSAT-CSM) using the CENTURY-based soil module to simulate long-term trends of grain yield, soil organic C (SOC) and soil organic N (SON) based upon 14-year...

Stable straw and grain yield constituted a challenging objective for breeders to cope with environmental changes as salinity increase. For this purpose, an assessment of grain yield (GY) and yield components stability of 25 durum wheat genotypes was conducted in three semi-arid sites differing...
