Crop growth models dynamically simulate processes of C, N and water balance on daily or
hourly time‐steps to predict crop growth and development and at season‐end, final yield …

Rates of tissue expansion, cell division and progression in the plant cycle are driven by
temperature, following common Arrhenius‐type response curves.• We analysed the genetic …

Soil and nutrient losses due to soil erosion are pronounced in potato growing areas of East
Africa due largely to the rugged topography and high soil disturbance associated with potato …

Global climate change accompanied by continuous increases in atmospheric carbon
dioxide (CO2) concentration and temperature affects the growth and yield of important crops …

The processes of calibration and validation of the Aquacrop model for the simulation of the
growth and development of a potato crop (Agria cultivar) that was irrigated with a center …

Mechanistic crop models capable of representing realistic temperature responses of key
physiological processes are necessary for enhancing our ability to forecast crop yields and …

Cultivar resistance is an essential part of disease control programmes in many agricultural
systems. The use of resistant cultivars applies a selection pressure on pathogen populations …

The growth and developmental responses of sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] to a
wide range of temperatures have not been addressed extensively. The objectives of this …

We analyze the effects of four irrigation treatments on the growth and development of
potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) cv Agria, using a pivot irrigation system in the province of …

Potato tuber yield-determining seasonal changes, especially in subtropical growing settings,
are poorly investigated. This study examined eleven potato genotypes 'G'under four planting …
