Prediction of yellow lupin yield (Lupinus luteus L.) for northern Poland using weather-crop model
Journal Title: Annals of Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW. Land Reclamation - Year 2014, Vol 46, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper presents an analysis of the impact of meteorological factors (solar radiation, maximum, minimum and mean temperature, precipitation) on the development and yield of yellow lupin Parys cultivar in the northern Poland in the years 1987–2008. Using multiple regression methods (linear and quadratic function) created regression equations that were estimated using the coefficients of determination (R2, R2adj and R2pred – using the Cross Validation procedure). Selected regression equation used to estimate the yield of yellow lupin, using generated – by means of model WGENK – daily values of global radiation, maximum and minimum temperature, precipitation, and climate change scenario GISS Model E for Central Europe. Examined dependencies weather-yield of lupine seeds (cultivar Parys) allowed the application of the chosen model to forecast yields from the time when the values are independent variables in the model by the end of the growing season. The comparison of distributions of actual and simulated yields shows that real yields are slightly (by 0.06 t•ha–1) higher than those generated for 2 × CO2 conditions.

Undrained shear strength of the heavily consolidated clay
The undrained shear strength cu is considered one of the most basic parameter characterizing soils in engineering practice. The particular importance of cu is in the case of clayey soil. This parameter also is the basis...
Comparison of precipitation totals measured by the automatic telepluviometer and the Hellmann rain gauge at the Warsaw Ursynów station in 2000–2010
Popularization of automatic methods of measuring meteorological elements and substituting manual methods creates a problem of maintaining homogeneity of measurement series. In such situations it is necessary to conduct m...
