Defining Optimal Soybean Sowing Dates across the US. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 AbstractGlobal crop demand is expected to increase by 60–110% by 2050. Climate change has already affected crop yields in some countries, and these effects are expected to continue. Identification of weather-related yield-limiting conditions and development of strategies for agricultural adaptation to climate change is essential to mitigate food ...

Optimality-based modelling of wheat sowing dates globally
Agricultural Systems, 2023 CONTEXT Sowing dates are currently an essential input for crop models. However, in the future, the optimal sowing time will be affected by climate changes and human adaptations to these changes. A better understanding of what determines the choice of wheat type and sowing dates is required to be able to predict future crop yields reliably.

Growth and yield responses of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) varieties to sowing time in a rainforest zone of Nigeria [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSorghum is an important staple and commodity crop for West Africa, however, its production rarely meet demand. Due to its importance, efforts should focus on extension of sorghum production frontiers beyond the current ecological boundaries (the savannas
