Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
The CropSyst model was a powerful tool to identify the underlying mechanisms affecting yam yields for some early planting dates, and to assess the factors involved in the high year-to-year variability currently observed in water yam yield.About:

Potato, sweet potato, and yam models for climate change: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented potato, sweet potato, and yam models for climate change impact assessment, they need to be calibrated with modern cultivars across agro-climatic zones, tested and improved with crop physiology and dynamic measurements of phenology, growth, partitioning, and water and nitrogen uptake under different crop management and environments.

The impact of climate change on Yam (Dioscorea alata) yield in the savanna zone of West Africa
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of projected climate variables and CO2 on yam yield in relation to three major soils in the Upper Oueme basin (Benin Republic) on yield was analyzed.

Matthew P. Reynolds,Martin J. Kropff,José Crossa,Jawoo Koo,Gideon Kruseman,Anabel Molero Milan,Jessica Rutkoski,Urs Schulthess,Balwinder-Singh,Kai Sonder,Henri E. Z. Tonnang,Henri E. Z. Tonnang,Vincent Vadez,Vincent Vadez +13 more
TL;DR: The history of crop modelling can be traced back to the early 1970s when the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) was established as discussed by the authors. But the focus of crop modeling has been on less developed countries.

Observed and predicted changes in soil carbon stocks under export and diversified agriculture in the Caribbean. The case study of Guadeloupe
Jorge Sierra,François Causeret,Jean-Louis Diman,Mirza Publicol,Lucienne Desfontaines,Aurore Cavalier,Pierre Chopin +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of export crops (sugarcane and banana monocultures) and diversified agriculture (as monoculture or in rotation with export crops) on soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks using the case study of Guadeloupe (Lesser Antilles).
Journal ArticleDOI
Yams (Dioscorea spp.) plant size hierarchy and yield variability: Emergence time is critical
TL;DR: The need to better understand the underlying mechanisms controlling the yam species’ uneven emergence before attempting to improve traditional cropping systems is highlighted.

CropSyst, a cropping systems simulation model
TL;DR: CropSyst as discussed by the authors is a multi-year, multi-crop, daily time step simulation model developed to serve as an analytical tool to study the effect of climate, soils, and management on cropping systems productivity and the environment.

Radiation Use Efficiency
Thomas R. Sinclair,R.C. Muchow +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the various aspects of radiation use efficiency (RUE), including theoretical analyses, experimental determination and measures, and sources of variability in experimental measures of RUE.

Effect of High Temperature on Plant Growth and Carbohydrate Metabolism in Potato
Abbas M. Lafta,James H. Lorenzen +1 more
TL;DR: There was no interaction of temperature and genotype with regard to the enzymes examined; therefore, observed differences do not account for differences between genotypes in heat susceptibility.
