Technology transfer in small﹕cale dryland crop production: Future challengesThe study focuses on maize technology transfer in a typical homeland maize‐growing area. Two thirds of maize growers were women. Thirty per cent of producers were over 60 years of age, 20 per cent were illiterate and ...
The cultivation of Maize and Guinea corn in the northern Guinea Savanna of Nigeria is faced with lots of Crop protection problems which hinder full scale production of these crops in that ecological zone. The problems range from biotic factors like vertebrate and invertebrate pests, disease pathogens...
Early crop growth and yield responses of maize ( Zea mays ) to biochar applied on soil Maize is the staple food in Zimbabwe which makes it a very important crop. However average yields have been decreasing very much .As an example of differences in production systems, the average white maize...

properties) by 45%. The large-scale adoption of diversified cropping systems in the North China Plain could increase cereal production by 32% when wheat–maize follows alternative crops in rotation and farmer income by 20% while benefiting the environment. This study provides an example of ...
The aim of this paper was to analyze the maize crop at the country and the Călăraşi county level and in the two companies submitted to the case study. This analysis highlighted the importance of the maize crop, crop that is being cultivated on large areas of the country and county,...
The World Food Study (WOFOST) model (Supit et al. 1994) is a one-dimensional, mechanistic, and site-specific crop model for wheat, grain maize, barley, rice,sugar beet, potato, field bean, soybean,oilseed rape, andsunflower. This crop model basically evaluates the crop yield and variabilit...
Long-term efforts should also be directed toward developing cultivars with crop architecture characteristics that facilitate robotic handling, such as breeding maize cultivars with a consistent ear height and flowering period [26]. High-quality and nutrition-rich crops are under continuous development due...
we here show that yields increase with increased soil organic carbon, until no further increase (p < 0.05) occurs above mean optimum soil organic carbon of 43.2–43.9 g kg−1 for maize, 12.7–13.4 g kg−1 for wheat and 31.2–32.4 g kg−1 for rice. Se...
