Despite general agreement that meeting food demand without further loss of natural
ecosystems requires sustainable intensification, there is little dialogue about the research …

Context The potential yield of crops is not usually realised on farms creating yield gaps.
Methods are needed to diagnose yield gaps and to select interventions. One method is the …

Abstract Maize demand in Sub-Saharan Africa is expected to increase 2.3 times during the
next 30 years driven by demographic and dietary changes. Over the past two decades, the …

Abstract Soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr., has been grown as a forage and as an important
protein and oil crop for thousands of years. Domestication, breeding improvements and …

There is limited information on agronomic practices affecting wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
yield in intensively managed dryland systems despite the opportunity to narrow the existing …

Several methods have been proposed to delineate management zones in agricultural fields,
which can guide interventions of the farmers to increase crop yield. In this study, we propose …

The increasing availability of complex, geo-referenced on-farm data demands analytical
frameworks that can guide crop management recommendations. Recent developments in …

CONTEXT Palm oil production is a major source of income for millions of smallholders in
Indonesia. However, actual yield remains low in relation to the attainable yield. While …

Context Collection and analysis of large volumes of on-farm production data are widely seen
as key to understanding yield variability among farmers and improving resource-use …

With an annual production of∼ 60 Mt, the US accounts for about 8% of the global wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.) production. Still, quantification of the yield gaps (YG) and major …
