1. Use of Non-Invasive Sensors to Detect Beneficial Effects of Fungicides on Wheat PhysiologyDelay of leaf senescence is a beneficial side effect of fungicides several times studied on cereal crops. Strobilurins have been shown to extend the green leaf area duration (GLAD) for more than one week compared to untreated plants. The use of non-invasive sensors which allow to detect early changes in canopy pigmentation is an excellent method to assess the effect of fungicides on plant senescence. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of fungicides on wheat physiology by using... C.A. Berdugo, U. Steiner, E. Oerke, H. Dehne, A. Mahlein |
2. Spatial-temporal Management Zones For Biomass MoistureBiomass handling operations (harvesting, raking, collection, and transportation) are critical operations within the agricultural production system since they constitute the first link in the biomass supply chain, a fact of substantial importance considering the increasingly involvement of biomass in bio-refinery and bio-energy procedures. Nevertheless, the inherent uncertainty, imposed by the interaction between environmental, biological, and machinery factors, makes the available scheduling... S. Fountas, D. Bochtis, C. Sorensen, O.

3. Exploiting The Variability In Pasture Production On New Zealand Hill Country.New Zealand has about four million hectares in medium to steep hill country pasture to which granular solid fertiliser is applied by airplane. On most New Zealand hill country properties where cultivation is not possible the only means of influencing pasture production yield is through the addition of fertilizers and paddock subdivision to control grazing and pasture growth rates. Pasture response to fertilizer varies in production zones within the farm which can be modelled... M.Q. Grafton, P.J. Mcveagh, R.R. Pullanagari, I.J. Yule |
