Can changes in canopy and/or root system architecture explain historical maize yield trends in the U.S. corn belt?
Continuous increase in the yield of maize (Zea mays L.) in the U.S. Corn Belt has involved an interaction with plant density. A number of contributing traits and mechanisms have been suggested. In this study we used a modeling approach to examine whether changes in canopy and/or root system architecture might explain the observed trends. A maize crop model was generalized so that changes in ...

Canopy gas exchange measurements of cotton in an open system
A portable, open transparent chamber system for measuring canopy gas exchanges was developed and tested. Differentials between incoming and outgoing atmospheric H2O and CO2 concentrations were used to calculate canopy transpiration (E) and net assimilation (A) at 10-s intervals using solenoid valve actuated sample lines connected to an infrared gas analyzer. A programmable data logger controlled ...

PureVine: A Digital Representation of your Vines
This year VineView released an exciting new product called PureVine, that collects and represents data on a vine-by-vine basis. Not only does this provide the opportunity to look at individual vine performance, it also allows a statistical representation of a block expressed in number of vines. In addition, it gives growers information about non-productive vines by analyzing gaps in the canopy. ...
