A practical guide to estimating the light extinction coefficient with nonlinear models—a case study on maize
(Springer Nature, 2021-06-12)The fraction of intercepted photosynthetically active radiation (fPARi) is typically described with a non-linear function of leaf area index (LAI) and k, the light extinction coefficient. The parameter k is used to make ... -
Fertilizer vs. organic matter contributions to nitrogen leaching in cropping systems of the Pampas: 15N application in field lysimeters
(Springer, 2006-11-07)Nitrogen (N) export from soils to streams and groundwater under the intensifying cropping schemes of the Pampas is modest compared to intensively cultivated basins of Europe and North America; however, a slowNenrichment ... -
Genomics-assisted breeding for quantitative disease resistances in small-grain cereals and maize
(MDPI, 2020-12-19)Generating genomics-driven knowledge opens a way to accelerate the resistance breeding process by family or population mapping and genomic selection. Important prerequisites are large populations that are genomically ... -
Water and radiation use efficiencies in maize: breeding effects on single-cross Argentine hybrids released between 1980 and 2012
(Elsevier, 2019-11)Water deficit has been signaled as an important determinant of grain yield (GY) gaps between potential and actual GYs. Breeding for improved water as well as solar radiation productivities is a sustainable means to reduce ... -
Yield determinants, root distribution and soil water uptake in maize (Zea mays) hybrids differing in canopy senescence under post-silking drought
(CSIRO Publishing, 2021-05)Delayed canopy senescence or ‘stay-green’ (SG) trait in maize (Zea mays L.) could improve drought tolerance. Two field trials comparing four to six maize hybrids with different senescence rate were carried out at Buenos ...
