Report: Warmer planet will trigger increased farm losses
Extreme heat is already harming crop yields, but a new report quantifies just how much that warming is cutting into farmers' financial security. For every 1 degree Celsius of warming, yields of major crops like corn, soybeans and wheat fall by 16% to.....»»
Enhancing crop resilience: A novel approach to quantifying and predicting frost damage in winter wheat
Abiotic stresses such as heat and frost severely limit plant growth, particularly affecting winter crops like wheat through senescence and leaf area reduction. Modern phenotyping methods, particularly high-throughput field phenotyping (HTFP), have ma.....»»
WheatNet: Precision farming with advanced spike detection across maturity stages
In the quest for precision farming, accurately detecting wheat spikes through phenotyping is critical, with deep learning models emerging as a promising tool......»»
60% of Africa"s food is based on wheat, rice and maize—the continent"s crop treasure trove is being neglected
African countries have become reliant on a few food items. Just 20 plant species now provide 90% of our food, with three—wheat, maize, and rice—accounting for 60% of all calories consumed on the continent and globally. This deprives the continent.....»»
