Chickpea is an important legume crop, providing a protein rich diet for humans and animal
feed. Globally, chickpea is grown in over 56 countries, occupying a production area of …

Phenological development is critical for crop adaptation. Phenology models are typically
driven by temperature and photoperiod, but chickpea phenology is also modulated by soil …

The architecture of the canopy tends to affect how light is reflected and distributed within it.
Rational modelling and trimming can improve crop architecture, maximize the use of space …

Increasing plant density has been an effective way for cotton yield improvements. The
density of plants in a community also determines competition intensity and the efficiency to …

Understanding phenology and its regulation is central for the agronomic adaptation of
chickpea. We grew 24 chickpea (Cicer arietinum) genotypes in 12 environments to analyse …

Growth and yield can be decoupled in lentil whereby excessive vegetative growth leads to
self-shading, reduced pod and seed set, low harvest index and higher risk of disease and …

Faba bean is a cool-season, indeterminate grain legume grown in Mediterranean and
temperate environments where yield loss associated with abiotic and biotic stress is …

Abstract Faba bean (Vicia Faba L.) is the second most widely grown grain legume in Europe
after pea (Pisum Sativum L.) and presents several agronomic and environmental …

A large yield gap exists in rain-fed maize (Zea mays L.) production in semi-arid regions,
mainly caused by frequent droughts halfway through the crop-growing period due to uneven …

Pea is a grain legume crop commonly grown in semi-arid temperate regions. Pea is
susceptible to heat stress that affects development and reduces yield. Leaf pigments and …
