Closing yield gaps for rice self-sufficiency in China
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Nature Communications"
DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-09447-9
Abstract: China produces 28% of global rice supply and is currently self-sufficient despite a massive rural-to-urban demographic transition that drives intense competition for land and water resources. At issue is whether it will remain self-sufficient, which… read more here.

Quantifying rice yield gaps and their causes in Eastern and Southern Africa
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science"
DOI: 10.1111/jac.12417
Abstract: The demand for rice in Eastern and Southern Africa is rapidly increasing because of changes in consumer preferences and urbanization. However, local rice production lags behind consumption, mainly due to low yield levels. In order… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2019.01603
Abstract: Wheat production is required to supply food for the world’s population, and increases in production will be necessary to feed the expanding population. Estimates show that production must increase by 1 billion metric tons to… read more here.

Closing Yield Gaps through Soil Improvement for Maize Production in Coastal Saline Soil
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Agronomy"
DOI: 10.3390/agronomy9100573
Abstract: As efforts to close crop production yield gaps increase, the need has emerged to identify cost-effective strategies to reduce yield losses through soil improvement. Maize (Zea mays L.) production in coastal saline soil is limited… read more here.
