Providing the world's population with sufficient and nutritious food through sustainable food
systems is a major challenge of the twenty-first century. Fertilizer use is a major driver of crop …

Modern agriculture has a major impact on natural resources in terms of exploitation and use.
Land and water resources are being exploited by ever-increasing population pressures …

Limited water stress is one of the most important environmental stresses that affect the
growth, quantity and quality of agronomic crops. This study was undertaken to investigate …

Key message Genome-wide association study (GWAS) demonstrated that multiple genomic
regions influence grain quality traits under nitrogen-starved soils. Using genomic prediction …

Reliable estimates of crop nitrogen (N) uptake and offtake are critical in estimating N
balances, N use efficiencies and potential losses to the environment. Calculation of crop N …

Meteorological factors are one of the important factors that determine maize kernel weight
and grain nutritional quality. Analyzing the influence of meteorological factors before and …

Most physiology-based crop simulation models do not simulate grain quality dynamics other
than protein content. In this study, a simple algorithm was adapted for predicting starch, oil …

Concomitantly pursuing superior maize (Zea mays L.) productivity with grain quality is
essential for food security. Therefore, this study provides a meta-analysis of 21 studies …

The variations in temperature and rainfall patterns under climate change are threatening
crop production systems, and optimizing fertilization practices is a prerequisite for …

Suitable sowing dates are crucial in plant production to cope with climate change and
ensure high-quality crop production. We hypothesize that the analysis of the effect of sowing …
