TL;DR: It is found that China is likely to remain self-sufficient in rice assuming current yield and consumption trajectories and no reduction in production area to 2030, and priority areas for improving yields to meet demands by 2030.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that temperature in this region is a limiting factor compared with radiation and HL combination with average daily temperature ranges of 26–28 °C in vegetative stage, and 22–27 °Cs in grain filling stage are recommended to achieve high grain yield and quality for irrigated rice in the Yangtze River Valley in China by adjusting sowing date and crop establishment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of various Zn fertilization treatments (control, foliar application at tasseling stage, rubber ash application, soil application of ZnSO4) and cultivars (Pop 2004B, Pop 2006, Azam, Sarhad (W), Pahari) on grain yield, grain Zn, and grain Cd concentrations in maize.

TL;DR: In this article, a bottom-up approach was used to estimate water-limited yield potential (Yw) and yield gaps (Yg) for major grain legume crops in E-Afr, and estimate how narrowing the current legume Yg can contribute to food self-sufficiency by the year 2050.

TL;DR: In this paper, a case study was used to evaluate options for increasing annual productivity in rice and maize through closure of existing yield gaps at both crop-cycle and cropping-system levels.
