Breeding and management efforts during the 20th century have increased sugar yield in almost all sugarcane areas worldwide. However, a close analysis of the trends during the last decades reveals that the rate of increase ...

The objective of this work was to assess the spatial and temporal variability of sugarcane yield efficiency and yield gap in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil, throughout 16 growing seasons, considering climate and soil as ...

Potassium (K) is one of the most absorbed nutrients by cassava because it acts on the synthesis and starch accumulation in the storage roots. Here, we show that K application at the beginning of the second vegetative cycle ...

Increases in crop yields are important to ensure food supply for humanity. Global yield trends have been analyzed considering public national average data, mainly for cereals but not for rapeseed. As rapeseed and wheat ...

Nitrogen (N) is one of the most absorbed and exported nutrients by cotton plants (Gossypium hirsutum L.), but excessive rates can result in excessive growth and reduce fiber yield and quality. Combinations of high N rates ...

This study focuses on the impact of genetic improvement of seed yield plasticity in soybean (Glycine max L.) in high-yielding environments (between 4000 kg ha-1 and 7000 kg ha-1) of Central Argentina. The association between ...
