1. Feasibility of Estimating the Leaf Area Index of Maize Traits with Hemispherical Images Captured from Unmanned Aerial VehiclesFeeding a global population of 9.1 billion in 2050 will require food production to be increased by approximately 60%. In this context, plant breeders are demanding more effective and efficient field-based phenotyping methods to accelerate the development of more productive cultivars under contrasting environmental constraints. The leaf area index (LAI) is a dimensionless biophysical parameter of great interest to maize breeders since it is directly related to crop productivity. The LAI is defined... M. Perez-ruiz, E.

2. Biochar Synthesis, Its Impact on Different Soils and Canola GrowthBiochar has been demonstrated as a soil amendment to improve soil health and plant yield. The present study aimed at investigating the potential of wheat straw on canola morphology and yield grown in different soils. The influence of biochar on soil physical and chemical properties was also assessed..Biochar was prepared by pyrolysis of wheat straw in a fixed-bed reactor. Crushed wheat straw was loaded into the reactor in an N2 environment, and the heating was continued up to... M. Hassan |
