Crop growth simulation models are a useful tool to assess the impact of environment, crop management, genetics and breeding strategies, as well as climate change and variability on growth and yield. Any crop science experiment that measures key physiological processes, tests these productive proc...

Crop science experiments designed to inform crop modeling
Rice, with its wide geographic distribution extending from 50°N to 35°S, is expected to be the most vulnerable cultivated crop to future changing climates. Among the different abiotic stresses, extreme temperatures coinciding with critical developmental stages, increasingly frequent floods and dr...

Genetic advances in adapting rice to a rapidly changing climate
In future climates, rice crops will be frequently exposed to water deficit and heat stress at the most sensitive flowering stage, causing spikelet sterility and yield losses. Water deficit alone and in combination with heat stress significantly reduced peduncle elongation, trapping 32% and 55% of...

This book provides a comprehensive presentation of the realization of improved rainfed agriculture yield in semi-arid and dry land areas. The incentive of watershed programs is to increase the return on investment with over 20% for 65% of the projects that are currently underperforming. Besides t...

Impacts of climate change on rainfed agriculture and adaptation strategies to improve livelihoods
Agricultural production is under increasing pressure by global anthropogenic changes, including rising population, diversion of cereals to biofuels, increased protein demands and climatic extremes. Because of the immediate and dynamic nature of these changes, adaptation measures are urgently need...
