TLDR
In this paper, the SCRI site nitrogen multi-entry trial was used for yield sensitivity analysis and stability analysis of commercial crops in a multi-site setting. But the results were limited to commercial crops.

The analysis of adaptation in a plant-breeding programme

TL;DR: Varieties from particular geographic regions of the world showed a similarity in type of adaptation, which provides a useful basis for plant introduction and breeding.

Effects of variety and fertiliser nitrogen on alcohol yield, grain yield, starch and protein content, and protein composition of winter wheat

D. R. Kindred, +6 more
- 01 Jul 2008 - 
TL;DR: The effects of nitrogen (N) fertiliser on grain size and shape, starch and protein concentration, vitreosity, storage protein composition, and alcohol yield of two winter wheat varieties contrasting in endosperm texture were studied in a field trial in Herefordshire, UK in 2004 as mentioned in this paper.

Deployment of diversity for enhanced crop function

Adrian C. Newton, +2 more
- 01 Jun 2009 - 
TL;DR: Diversity can be reintroduced into cropping systems as a trait not only to confer stability but also to exploit synergies between component genotypes, compensating for potential performance losses against the best performing genotype in any given season or location.

Production of Grain Whisky and Ethanol from Wheat, Maize and Other Cereals

R.C. Agu, +2 more
- 01 Jan 2006 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the properties of wheat, maize, sorghum, and millet were investigated and it was shown that they had good potential for grain distilling and ethanol production at comparable nitrogen levels, and had physiological processing characteristics within the range accepted for wheat or maize.

The effects of uneven, patchy cultivar mixtures on disease control and yield in winter barley

Adrian C. Newton, +1 more
- 28 Feb 2009 - 
TL;DR: The mixture composition, which appeared to generate a discrete pattern of small patches of the component cultivars, gave a yield advantage in 2 years, while the mixture which was pre-mixed most homogeneously gave no significantield advantage in these trials.
