Crop yield prediction is critical for investigating the gap and potential adaptations to environmental management factors in arid regions. models (CMs) are powerful tools predicting water use, but they still have some limitations uncertainties; therefore, combining them with machine learning algorithms (MLs) could improve predictions reduce uncertainty. To that end, DSSAT-CERES-maize model was calibrated one location validated others across Egypt varying agro-climatic zones. Following that, dynamic (CERES-Maize) used long-term simulation (1990–2020) of maize grain (GY) evapotranspiration (ET) under a wide range factors. Detailed outputs from three growing seasons field experiments Egypt, as well CERES-maize outputs, were train test six (linear regression, ridge lasso K-nearest neighbors, random forest, XGBoost), resulting more than 1.5 million simulated scenarios. Seven warming years (i.e., 1991, 1998, 2002, 2005, 2010, 2013, 2020) chosen 31-year dataset MLs, while remaining 23 models. The Ensemble (super learner) XGBoost outperform other GY ET maize, evidenced by R2 values greater 0.82 RRMSE less 9%. broad practices, when averaged all locations 31 simulation, not only reduced hazard impact also increased ET.

It is key important environmental stress occurs due to temperature dynamics, light intensity, low rainfall. Despite this, its cumulative, not obvious impact multidimensional nature severely affects morphological, physiological, biochemical molecular attributes with adverse on photosynthetic capacity.

The productivity of cereal crops under salt stress limits sustainable food production and security. Barley followed by sorghum better adapts to salinity stress, while wheat maize are moderately adapted. However, rice is a salt-sensitive crop, its growth grain yield significantly impacted stress. High soil can reduce water uptake, create osmotic in plants and, consequently, oxidative Crops have evolved different tolerance mechanisms, particularly cereals, mitigate the stressful conditions, i.e., effluxing excessive sodium (Na+) or compartmentalizing Na+ vacuoles. Likewise, activate an antioxidant defense system detoxify apoplastic cell wall acidification reactive oxygen species (ROS). Understanding response field including their resistance help breed adapted varieties with high unfavourable environmental factors. In contrast, primary stages seed germination more critical than vegetative stages. at reproductive stage also decrease crop productivity.

Drought poses a significant challenge, restricting the productivity of medicinal and aromatic plants. The strain induced by drought can impede vital processes like respiration photosynthesis, affecting various aspects plants' growth metabolism. In response to this adversity, plants employ mechanisms such as morphological structural adjustments, modulation drought-resistant genes, augmented synthesis secondary metabolites osmotic regulatory substances alleviate stress. Extreme water scarcity lead leaf wilting may ultimately result in plant death. cultivation management under stress conditions often differ from those other crops.

Abstract Globally, climate change greatly impacts the production of major crops, and there have been many attempts to model future yields under warming scenarios in recent years. However, projections may not be generalisable all crop growing regions, particularly those with diverse topography bioclimates. In this study, we demonstrate by evaluating links between changes temperature precipitation wheat, barley, potato at county-level during 1980–2019 Norway, a Nordic country range climates across relatively small spatial scale. The results show that variables on yield vary widely county, for some strength direction link depends underlying local bioclimate. addition, our analysis demonstrates need counties focus weather specific crucial months corresponding certain growth stages.
