Limitation of grain crop productivity by phosphorus (P) is widespread and will probably
increase in the future. Enhanced P efficiency can be achieved by improved uptake of …

Crop growth models dynamically simulate processes of C, N and water balance on daily or
hourly time‐steps to predict crop growth and development and at season‐end, final yield …

To obviate adverse effects from the non-biodegradability of certain polymer-based slow-
release fertilizers (SRFs) and to offset higher operational costs, the use of biopolymers as …

Grain yield response to sulfur (S) fertilization in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has been
reported several times. However, the effects of S and its interaction with nitrogen (N) on the …

The spatial distribution of leaf elongation and adaxial epidermal cell production in leaf 6 of
maize (Zea mays L. cv. Cecilia) plants grown in a growth chamber under two contrasting …

Although researchers have determined that attaining high grain yields of winter wheat
depends on the spike number and the shoot biomass, a quantitative understanding of how …

Leaf surface area per unit ground cover (leaf area index, LAI) is one of the major controls on
plant productivity and biospheric feedbacks on atmospheric energy and water exchanges …

The conversion efficiency (εc) of absorbed radiation into biomass (MJ of dry matter per MJ of
absorbed photosynthetically active radiation) is a component of yield potential that has been …

Proteaceae are almost all non‐mycorrhizal and most species produce proteoid (= cluster)
roots when grown in low‐phosphorus (P) soils. In south‐western Australia and the Cape …

In order to reduce the harmful effects of synthetic non-biodegradable hydrogel, biopolymers
have attracted attention, particularly for use in slow-release fertilizers. The current attempt …
