Modelling cereal-legume intercrop systems to unravel the mechanisms of weed suppression
Intercropping is a system where multiple crop types are combined in space and/or time within a season. One of the major benefits of intercropping and... -
Improve maize nitrogen use efficiency through functional structural plant modelling
This project is to explore plant traits and plastic responses impacts on plant and crop performance to improve nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and... -
Making a digital twin of a tomato crop
A digital twin is more than just a simulation model. The digital twin of tomato we are developing, is a 3D digital representation of a real tomato... -
Discover the development of hybrid potato: plant architecture and branching pattern
Unlike many animals that can move or alter their behaviors in response to environmental changes, most higher plants cope with varying environmental... -
Virtual tomato crops
Jochem Evers and his team are developing a digital twin of a tomato crop in a greenhouse: a 3D simulation model that is fed in real-time with sensor... -
Pruning in Cocoa
Pruning in Cocoa - WUR Project Pruning in Cocoa We aim understand and quantify cocoa response to pruning in relation to shading and to design optimal... -
Light capture and water use in intercrops
Intercropping is widely used in Asia, Africa, and South America to enhance productivity, resource use efficiency and reduce risks. While intercropping...
