The grain filling period tends to decrease in the future, and a decrease in the duration of the growth cycle is very likely. Combinations of changed sowing time with more drought tolerant maize cultivars having a longer post-anthesis phase will likely reduce the potential negative impact of ...
Maize is a staple crop in sub-Saharan Africa, but yields remain sub-optimal. Improved breeding and seed systems are vital to increase productivity. We describe a hybrid seed production technology that will benefit seed companies and farmers. This technology improves efficiency and integrity of seed...
China contributed nearly one-fifth of the world maize production over the past few years. Mapping the distributions of maize cropland in China is crucial to ensure global food security. Nonetheless, 10 m maize cropland maps in China are still unavailable, restricting the promotion of sustainabl...
These benefits were most apparent when climate was suitable, infestation was minimal, and crop spoilage lose was controlled; however, the cycle of feast and famine continued to occur well into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, particularly in developing regions. As the world faced ...
wheat grinders for home use/ maize grinding mills for sale in south africa Product Description The mini flour mill is the upgrade of traditional small roller mill, instead of manual feeding during each cycle of milling; this machine is pneumatic lifting for the reason of high pressure air blower...
Cercospora zeina is a foliar pathogen responsible for maize grey leaf spot in southern Africa that negatively impacts maize production. Plants use a variety of chemical and structural mechanisms to defend themselves against invading pathogens such as C.
However, simultaneous improvement of stover and grain in maize would require repeat phenotyping for both grain yield and stover quality traits substantially increasing the conventional breeding costs and time per cycle. With the advent of molecular markers, maize breeding programs across several regions ...
The Bioeconomy in emerging economies: a study of the critical success factors based on Life Cycle Assessment and Delphi and FuzzyDelphi methods Purpose The aim of this research was to identify and analyze the critical success factors for Bioeconomy development in Brazil, considering Life Cycle Asse....
China is the world’s second-largest maize producer, contributing 23% to global production and playing a crucial role in stabilizing the global maize supply. Therefore, accurately mapping the maize distribution in China is of great significance for regio
Climate change is expected to significantly impact agricultural production across Africa. While a number of studies assessed this impact in semi-arid southern Africa, or tropical West Africa, only a limited number took interest in the mountainous and cli
