Assessing Climate Change Adaptation Strategies for Major Crops in Texas: A Case Study in Two Regions (2019-04-05)Agriculture is arguably the most vulnerable sector to climate change (CC). Producers in Texas not only face challenges from CC, but also from dwindling irrigation water supplies. This study was aimed at assessing the CC ...
-
(2014-12-11)The Texas Plains, which include the Texas High Plains and Rolling Plains, is one of the largest cotton growing areas in the world. Cotton cultivation in this region is facing severe challenges from rapidly declining ...
-
(2021-04-28)Cucumis melo L. is one of the most commercial and economical crops in the world with several health beneficial compounds as such carotenoids, amino acids, vitamins A and C, minerals and dietary fiber. In the first study, ...
-
(2022-04-20)Understanding and preventing post-harvest losses are very crucial if we want to feed the world's growing population. Callosobruchus maculatus, also known as the "cowpea weevil," is a common pest in stored grains. This pest ...
-
(2010-10-12)The ability to map the profit made across a cotton field would enable producers to see in detail where money is being made or lost on their farms. This ability, which requires sitespecific knowledge of yield, fiber quality, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Engineering directly impacts current and future regulatory policy decisions. The foundation of air pollution control and air pollution dispersion modeling lies in the math, chemistry, and physics of the environment. ...
