Enhancing nitrogen use efficiency of rice
This project aims to design a nitrogen fertilizer management system of rice production in China that can minimize nutrient losses from fields, so that... -
Real-time Smart Crop Management System Designing
A Wageningen crop model GECROS, after calibrating and validating against data from field experiments, will be employed to simulate the production... -
Fertilizer research and responsible implementation
Agriculture is the major livelihood and income earner for smallholder farmers. However, low crop yields and low nutrient-use efficiency amongst... -
On the assessment of physiological age of seed potatoes and the subsequent crop performance
A significant part of the potato yield gap is attributed to the sub-optimal physiological age of seed tubers. A lack of clarity on the physiological... -
Towards improved cassava seed systems in Southeast Asia
We use a wide array of approaches to gain insight into the structure, functioning, and characteristics of the cassava seed system in Southeast... -
Maize whole-plant system model
This study proposes a new whole-plant system model which incorporates a dynamic canopy photosynthesis model, a root system model, and a current... -
Vegetable agro-biodiversity in Northern Vietnam
It is not clear how farmer’s decision on seed access, production and storage and strategies in conserving on-farm agro-biodiversity lead to... -
Towards a resilient potato cropping system
A resilient potato cropping system will be developed for late-blight resistant hybrid potato cultivars. Research studies on agronomy, integrated pest... -
Leaf-colour modification impact rice photosynthesis at different scales
As one of the most commercially important crops, rice (Oryza sativa L.) is critical for maintaining global food security. With the recognition that... -
Modelling the high photosynthesis of Hirschfeldia incana
The species Hirschfeldia incana is used in the Extremophile program of Wageningen University as a model species with a remarkably high rate of...
