The effect of climate change and adaptation policy on agricultural production in Eastern Africa (2016, methodology): “We simulate a baseline scenario with no climate change and three climate change scenarios (A, B, and C) based on the projections in the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (2007) as presented in table 4.”
Screening Corn Hybrids for Cold Tolerance using Morphological Traits for Early-Season Seeding (2015, background): “Because high temperature and drought stress during pollination and grain-filling stages negatively affect corn yield, several strategies have been implemented to overcome the problem, such as early planting (Kucharik, 2006).”
Impacts of recent climate change on Wisconsin corn and soybean yield trends (2008, background): “Wisconsin corn planting dates have shifted to approximately 10 days earlier since the late 1970s [ 9 ], and Kucharik [8] suggested that earlier planting across Wisconsin during the 1979‐2005 timeframe has contributed 22% to corn yield trends.”
Physiological Basis of Successful Breeding Strategies for Maize Grain Yield (2007, background): “Earlier maize planting (Duvick, 1989; Kucharik, 2006) has eff ectively increased the duration of the growing season and, consequently, the period of time that plants can absorb incident solar radiation.”
