Cropping system-imposed yield gap: Proof of concept on soybean cropping systems in Uruguay
(Elsevier Science, 2021-01)
Favorable weather conditions prevailing on most South American Pampas allows to grow more than one crop per year. Indeed, increasing crop intensity per unit area has been highlighted as an opportunity to increase crop ...
Land use intensification in the Rolling Pampa, Argentina: Diversifyingcrop sequences to increase yields and resource use
(Elsevier Science, 2016-11)
Increasing and maintaining high productivity levels presents a major challenge facing farmers today and will continue into the near future. More integrative and complex approaches to decision-making, besides adopting new ...
Impacts of honeybee density on crop yield: A meta-analysis
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-02-03)
1. There is increasing recognition that pollination deficits are limiting crop yields world-wide. However, management strategies for optimal insect pollination are still unclear for most crops. Current management focuses ...
Maize long-term genetic progress explains current dominance over sorghum in Argentina
(Elsevier Science, 2020-09)
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is traditionally known for its better adaptation to drought when compared to other cereals like maize (Zea mays L.). However, genetic gains are significantly higher for maize than for ...
Early assessment of crop yield from remotely sensed water stress and solar radiation data
(Elsevier Science, 2018-11)
Soil moisture (SM) available for evapotranspiration is crucial for food security, given the significant interannual yield variability of rainfed crops in large agricultural regions. Also, incoming solar radiation (Rs) ...
Impacts of precipitation and temperature on crop yields in the Pampas
(2015-05)
Understanding regional impacts of recent climate trends can help anticipate how further
climate change will affect agricultural productivity. We here used panel models to estimate the
contribution of growing season ...
The potential for insect pollinators to alleviate global pollination deficits and enhance yield of fruit and seed crops
(Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2018)
Humanity faces amajor challenge as agricultural intensification and growth ofcultivated areas increase to satisfy greater demands from a humanpopulation of growing size and affluence. However, with long-term,sustainable ...
Soil variability and crop yield gaps in two village landscapes of Burkina Faso
(Springer, 2016-07)
Low crop yields in the savannah zones of West Africa are commonly attributed to rainfall deficits and poor soil fertility. In this study, an assessment was made on how the position of fields belonging to different farm ...
Source of resistance aff ect soybean yield, yield components, and biomass accumulation in Heterodera glycines-infested fields
(Crop Science Society of America, 2010-11)
The soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) is the main yield limiting pathogen of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] in the USA. Resistant cultivars are the most efficient management tool today. Our research ...
Climate impacts on crop yields in Central Argentina. Adaptation strategies
(2018-02)
The Pampas is among the major agricultural regions in the world; a large proportion of Argentina crop production is originated in this region. The exportation of grain and oil crop represents more than 40% of the total ...
