The WOFOST cropping systems model has been applied operationally over the last 25
years as part of the MARS crop yield forecasting system. In this paper we provide an …

Reliable estimation of region-wide rice yield is vital for food security and agricultural
management. Field-scale models have increased our understanding of rice yield and its …

This paper presents an operational chain for high-resolution leaf area index (LAI) retrieval
from multiresolution satellite data specifically developed for Mediterranean rice areas. The …

The considerable complexity often included in biophysical models leads to the need of
specifying a large number of parameters and inputs, which are available with various levels …

Background In this study, we compared four models for predicting rice blast disease, two
operational process-based models (Yoshino and Water Accounting Rice Model (WARM)) …

Accurate estimation of above ground biomass (AGB) is very important for crop growth
monitoring. The objective of this study was to estimate rice biomass by utilizing structural …

Organic rice production is characterised by high yield variability and substantial productivity
gaps with respect to conventional systems. Variability may be accentuated in areas of erratic …

Climate drivers are key stress factors affecting upland rice yields in Sahel because the
region is vulnerable to unfavorable weather and has a very low adaptive capacity. This study …

This paper presents and evaluates multitemporal LAI estimates derived from Sentinel-2A
data on rice cultivated area identified using time series of Sentinel-1A images over the main …

Crop modeling and remote sensing are key tools to gain deeper understanding on cropping
system dynamics and, ultimately, to increase the sustainability of agricultural productions …
