1. Estimating greensnap yield damage with canopy reflectance: a case studyGrain yield reduction caused by storm-induced plant breakage (green snap) occurs often in corn fields. With climate change and an increasing frequency in the occurrence of extreme weather events, it is essential to develop methods that can accurately estimate green snap damage, so growers can be properly compensated by insurance companies for yield loss. Because plant breakage also affects crop canopy reflectance, this case study aimed to characterize the changes in crop canopy reflectance... G. Dias paiao, T.J. Nigon, F.G. Fernández, C.

2. Water Application Efficiency of an Ultisol in Response to Climate Change in Two Agroecological Zones of NigeriaIrrigation and fertilizer application are management practices farmers have adopted to increase food production for the growing population. This has improved crop nutrient absorption and the efficiency of fertilizer applied to the soil. This is essential to reduce plant water stress in a climate changing environment. This study investigated and compared water application efficiency under manual sprinkler irrigation with capillary irrigation method on ultisols located in rainforest and derived... I.A. Egbebi, D.J.
