Arkansas Corn And Grain Sorghum Performance Tests 2010, R. D. Bond, D. G. Dombek, J. A. Still, R. M. Pryor
Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Series
Corn and grain sorghum performance tests are conducted each year in Arkansas by the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture. The tests provide information to companies marketing seed within the state and aid the Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service in formulating recommendations for producers.
Yield Potential And Resource-Use Efficiency Of Maize Systems In The Western U.S. Corn Belt, Patricio Grassini
Yield Potential And Resource-Use Efficiency Of Maize Systems In The Western U.S. Corn Belt, Patricio Grassini
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Maize demand for food, livestock feed, and biofuel is expected to increase substantially. The Western U.S. Corn Belt accounts for 23% of U.S. maize production, and irrigated maize accounts for 43 and 58% of maize land area and total production, respectively, in this region. The most sensitive parameters (yield potential [YP], water-limited yield potential [YP-W], yield gap between actual yield and YP, and resource-use efficiency) governing performance of maize systems in the region are lacking. A simulation model was used to quantify YP under irrigated and rainfed conditions based on weather data, soil properties, and crop management at 18 locations. …
