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... -
Effects of fertilization on productivity and nutritional quality of crops in Northern Ghana
The nutrient status of soils in northern Ghana is low. It is therefore expected that fertilizer application will lead to a substantial increase in... -
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... -
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... -
Investigate the plant architecture ideotype of hybrid potato for improved tuber production
Hybrid potato provides potentials for fast breeding and more sustainable tuber production. The novel hybrids can grow from various starting materials,... -
Evaluating light use efficiency of different C4 subtypes in C3 background
The C3 crop rice, one of the major food crops, needs to increase its production by 50% by 2050. C4 crops yield more than C3 crops because of their... -
NUE-CROPS - Improving nutrient efficiency in wheat, oilseed rape, potato and maize to reduce negative environmental impacts of crop production
The project NUE-CROPS develops knowledge, models and tools required to breed/select Nutrient Use Efficient (NUE) CROPS and to integrate NUE-crops with... -
