DOI: 10.1016/j.agwat.2020.106103
Abstract: Abstract The FAO-56 crop coefficient (Kc) approach is widely used for making irrigation decisions. Allen and Pereira (2009) extended this approach by developing a method for estimating Kc using a density coefficient (Kd), which is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.aspen.2018.08.016
Abstract: Abstract Two Grapholita species (G. molesta and G. dimorpha) cause serious losses in apple production by means of direct fruit damage and destruction. These two congeners occurred at similar seasons in the same orchards. Furthermore,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocontrol.2019.02.011
Abstract: Abstract In agroecosystems, omnivores can be beneficial predators or harmful herbivores. In apple orchards, the omnivorous European earwig (Forficula auricularia) is thought to be a key predator of woolly apple aphid (Eriosoma lanigerum), but has… read more here.

Simulation of Long-term Yield and Soil Water Consumption in Apple Orchards on the Loess Plateau, China, in Response to Fertilization
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Scientific Reports"
DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-05914-9
Abstract: The Loess Plateau, China, is the world’s largest apple-producing region, and over 80% of the orchards are in rainfed (dryland) areas. Desiccation of the deep soil layer under dryland apple orchards is the main stressor… read more here.
