Achieving High‐Density and Stress‐Resilient Maize Breeding Via Germplasm Innovation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Global population growth and climate change have exacerbated the global food crisis. This perspective presents a conceptual framework focusing on enhancing population advantages. Several novel breeding objectives are proposed to improve density tolerance and stress resistance for yield improvement.

Do diverse landscapes provide for effective natural pest control in subtropical rice? [PDF]
, 2019 This datasets comprises data from 20 rice fields embedded in a gradient of landscapes from crop-dominated to semi-natural habitat-dominated, in the Jiangxi Province in China in 2014 and 2015. Each field was split into two plots: in one plot no pesticides

Sustainable Productivity Growth in Agriculture: The Role of Shifts in R&D Investments and Technology
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The objective of the paper is to evaluate the long‐term prospects of sustainable productivity growth linked to plausible assumptions on public agricultural R&D investments as the key productivity driver. Second, it investigates the role of changing R&D focus from yield maximization to input saving technologies (fertilizers and pesticides). The

Rice Pest Constraints in Tropical Asia: Quantification of Yield Losses Due to Rice Pests in a Range of Production Situations [PDF]
Plant Disease, 2000 A series of experiments was conducted where a range of injuries due to rice pests (pathogens, insects, and weeds) was manipulated simultaneously with a range of production factors (fertilizer input, water supply, crop establishment method, variety) in different seasons and years. These factors were chosen to represent lowland rice production situations

Biodiversity of insect pests of rice in India [PDF]
International Journal of Chemical Studies, 2020 Insect pests of rice are affected by climate change directly through physiological effects due to changes in temperature and precipitation and indirectly through effects due to changes in the quality of host plants. Species that depend on each other like plants and insects that pollinate them, do not always adapt to changes at the same time.
