With crops, farmers will adapt -- they always have and always will.
To help this adaptation, however, a Texas A&M AgriLife research project has used artificial intelligence modeling to determine what traits cultivars will need to be successful under changing climate conditions.
A Texas A&M AgriLife team completed an assessment of climate change impacts on cotton yield and irrigation…
