Comparison of deficit irrigation management strategies on root, plant growth and biomass productivity of silage maize (2017, unknown): “5 for Ky, rf. Gheysari et al., 2015) depending on depth and frequency of irrigation, type of irrigation system, plant density and cropping system, nitrogen application strategies, soil management practices as well as climate and microclimate conditions (Grassini et al., 2011).”
Sifting and winnowing: Analysis of farmer field data for soybean in the US North-Central region (2018, background): “Negatively skewed yield distributions have also been reported for other highyield crop systems such as irrigated wheat grown in good soils in Yaqui Valley, northwestern Mexico (Lobell et al., 2005) and irrigated maize and soybean in Nebraska, USA (Grassini et al., 2011, 2014a).”
Understanding production potentials and yield gaps in intensive maize production in China (2013, methodology): “Crop models can provide reasonable estimates of yield potential when historical weather data are available (Grassini et al., 2011).”
Maize yield and quality in response to plant density and application of a novel plant growth regulator (2014, background): “With the rapidly increasing demands for food, livestock feed and bio-fuel at a global scale, the demand for maize is increasing (Cassman and Liska, 2007; Cassman et al., 2003; Grassini et al., 2011).”
Yield gap analysis with local to global relevance—A review (2013, methodology): “…yield gap analysis of rrigated maize identified the recent plateauing of yields in farmrs’ fields to be associated with a yield level about 85% of the yield otential ceiling (Grassini et al., 2011a), which is similar to yield evels at which other crops have plateaued (Cassman et al., 2003, 010).”
Yield gap analysis—Rationale, methods and applications—Introduction to the Special Issue (2013, background): “2B; see also Cassman, 1999; Cassman et al., 2003; Brisson et al., 2010; Grassini et al., 2011; Olesen et al., 2011).”
Benchmarking impact of nitrogen inputs on grain yield and environmental performance of producer fields in the western US Corn Belt (2020, methodology): “This framework has been subsequently used in a multitude of studies to assess crop water productivity and identify opportunities for improvement (Sadras and Angus, 2006; Passioura, 2006; Grassini et al., 2009b, 2011).”
Effects of EDAH, a novel plant growth regulator, on mechanical strength, stalk vascular bundles and grain yield of summer maize at high densities (2017, background): “As the global population continues to grow, food requirements and demand for maize will increase (Parry et al., 2009; Grassini et al., 2011).”
