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 ...

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 ...

Spectral indices such as normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and Falker chlorophyll index (FCI) are valuable tools for estimating crop yield. However, there remains a need to define the best phenological stages ...

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 ...

Due to the high levels of crude protein in the achene, sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is one of the main oilseeds grown worldwide, particularly for the oil and meal production for animal feed. Despite these advantages, ...

As soybean yield continues to increase, it seems critical to know if there is a yield level at which potential contribution of indigenous nitrogen (N) sources (N fixation and soil mineralization) becomes insufficient to ...
