Sensor development for estimation of biomass yield applied to Miscanthus Giganteus
… have been available for traditional field crops for decades. However, there are currently none available for energy crops such as Miscanthus Giganteus (MxG), switch grass, and sugar cane. The availability of yield monitors would allow better organization and scheduling of harvesting …

Effects of apple branch girdling on retention and quality of fruit and vegetative growth
… main effects of girdling, which caused increased crop density and yield efficiency. Girdling increased mean apple diameter, weight, and soluble solids on ‘Triple Red Delicious’/M.7 branches. Fruit diameter was reduced on ‘Golden Delicious’/M.7 branches. Girdling affected flesh firmness in both …

Effects of Local Plant Neighborhood on Plant Herbivory in Perennial Polyculture Cropping Systems
Perennializing grain cropping systems has been proposed as a way to mitigate the challenges facing agriculture in the future due to crop intensification. Crop intensification is characterized by utilizing more land and inputs, less crop diversity, and greater crop density. Perennial cropping …

Using cover crops to alleviate compaction in organic grain farms
… we explored the effect of selected cover crops in compacted and non-compacted areas of their farms on weed populations, yields and soil properties in a participatory on-farm research approach. The experimental layout was a split-plot arrangement of compaction and cover crop treatments with …

Contribution of crop morphological characteristics and density of selected crops to weed species composition and suppression
… growing season to investigate the effect of crop species and sowing density on weed dynamics, productivity and species composition. Crops with a spreading (narrow-leafed lupin, Lupimus augustifolius and dwarf French bean, Phaseolus vulgaris), rosette (turnip, Brassica campestris and forage …
