Providing food and water security for a population expected to exceed 9 billion by 2050 while conserving natural resources requires achieving high yields on every hectare of currently used arable land suitable for intensification. This is especially relevant for sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where, u...

Numerous studies have been published during the past two decades that use simulation models to assess crop yield gaps (quantified as the difference between potential and actual farm yields), impact of climate change on future crop yields, and land-use change. However, there is a wide range in qua...

Data requirements for reliable crop yield simulations and yield-gap analysis]How good is good enough? Data requirements for reliable crop yield simulations and yield-gap analysis

In 2018, an experiment was run at the IOP farm in Tanzania. Four nutrient management treatments were combined factorial with two tillage options. The results show that the lowest maize yield was obtained under conventional tillage without fertilizer application, and the highest with reduced tilla...

Yield gap analysis, which evaluates magnitude and variability of difference between crop yield potential (Yp) or water limited yield potential (Yw) and actual farm yields, provides a measure of untapped food production capacity. Reliable location-specific estimates of yield gaps, either derived f...

J. vanWolf, JoostLicker RGrassini, PatricioNelson, A.Boogaard, H.Gerber JMueller NDClaessens, LievenIttersum, Martin K. vanCassman, Kenneth G.[Use of agro-climatic zones to upscale simulated crop yield potential]Use of agro-climatic zones to upscale simulated crop yield potential

Nutrient limitation is a major constraint in crop production in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Here, we propose a generic and simple equilibrium model to estimate minimum input requirements of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium for target yields in cereal crops under highly efficient management. The m...
