To assist corn producers and the agricultural industry with meeting consumer demand for this sweet, nutritious vegetable, researchers have developed a new tool, or "simulation model" that has the ...

Accurately predicting how plants allocate dry matter to fruits remains a major challenge in crop modeling, especially under controlled greenhouse conditions. This study presents a new simulation ...

In regions with limited water resources, maximizing crop water productivity is important for producing high yields. A new computer model, AquaCrop, was developed as a way to predict crop water use ...

Crop models are parameterization schemes that simulate the processes of crop development and production. Their inclusion in climate models can promote the simulation ability of climate models, ...

There is a gap between our molecular level understandings of crop responses to environments and the actual crop growth and yield in the field. To bridge the gap and integrate knowledge from different ...
