Decomposing rice yield gaps into efficiency, resource and technology yield gaps in sub-Saharan Africa

open access: yesField Crops Research, 2020
Abstract Meeting current rice demand in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) requires narrowing yield gaps on currently available agricultural land. The objectives of this study were to decompose rice yield gaps into efficiency, resource and technology yield gaps and to identify priority areas for research and development in the major rice production systems ...

Integrated crop water management might sustainably halve the global food gap

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2016
As planetary boundaries are rapidly being approached, humanity has little room for additional expansion and conventional intensification of agriculture, while a growing world population further spreads the food gap. Ample evidence exists that improved on-

Optimizing an Organic Method of Sugar Beet Cultivation and Yield Gap Decrease in Northern Poland

open access: yesAgriculture
In the period of 2016–2018, two series of field studies on organic sugar beet growing (Beta vulgaris L.) were carried out in northern Poland on Luvisol loamy soil (medium–heavy) soil in Bałcyny and Płonne.

Analyzing the Effects of Planting Date on the Uncertainty of CERES-Maize and Its Potential to Reduce Yield Gap in Arid and Mediterranean Climates

open access: yesAgriculture, 2023
Decision support system tools such as crop models and considering the uncertainties associated with them are important for making an informed decision to fill the yield gap in farms and increase food security.

Analysis of a quenched lattice-QCD dressed-quark propagator

open access: yes, 2003
Quenched lattice-QCD data on the dressed-quark Schwinger function can be correlated with dressed-gluon data via a rainbow gap equation so long as that equation's kernel possesses enhancement at infrared momenta above that exhibited by the gluon alone ...

Herbicidal weed control in drill sown spring wheat under Bangladesh condition

open access: yesFundamental and Applied Agriculture, 2019
Weeds are considered as one of the major factors responsible for current low wheat yield in Bangladesh. Although chemical weed control is well established in many wheat growing countries, in Bangladesh, the herbicides are typically not used by farmers to

Crop yield gap and yield convergence in African countries

open access: yesFood Security, 2019
Raising crop yield per unit land area remains a key to eliminating food shortages given limited land resources. However, Africa still falls far behind other continents in crop yield and there is major variation across regions within Africa. This paper analyzed regional yield gaps and yield convergence in Africa for four major crops: maize, millets ...

Production gap analysis - an operational approach to yield gap analysis using historical high-resolution yield data sets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Yield potential has major interests in agronomic modelling such as for the computation of fertilizer recommendations. Most precise estimates of this potential can be generated with crop modelling approaches. However, such potential is often theoretical because it has never been obtained in the field and requires lots of input data to be computed, e.g ...
