Changes in Nitrogen Use Traits Associated with Genetic Improvement for Grain Yield of Maize Hybrids Released in Different Decades (2013, background): “1256 www.crops.org crop science, vol. 53, july–august 2013 Average maize yields in the United States have experienced a nearly five-fold increase between the beginning of the 20th century and the present (Egli, 2008; USDA-NASS, 2012).”
Identifying factors controlling the continuous corn yield penalty (2013, background): “For example, typical yields for soybean, the second most commonly grown crop in the United States, are only 28 to 34% of corn yields (Egli, 2008; National Agricultural Statistics Service, 2012).”
Tillage and Crop Rotation Effects on Corn Agronomic Response and Economic Return at Seven Iowa Locations (2015, unknown): “In general, analysis of historical county level records indicated that corn yield increased linearly over time by 1.7% yr–1 for Iowa (period: 1950–2005; Egli, 2008).”
Physiological and management factors contributing to soybean potential yield (2015, background): “estimate potential soybean yield based upon the ratio of maize grain yield to soybean grain yield (Egli, 2008; Specht et al., 1999).”
Evidence of slowing yield growth – the example of Swiss cereal yields (2010, background): “…of improved crop management practices, crop varieties and the improved adaptation to environmental conditions, the usage of fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides and insecticides as well as by the adoption of mechanization and irrigation (Calderini and Slafer, 1998, Egli, 2008, and Evans, 1997).”
Investigating afforestation and bioenergy CCS as climate change mitigation strategies (2014, background): “In the standalone scenarios, afforestation area is found in many world regions, predominantly in Sub-Sahara African, Latin America, China, Europe and the USA, while bioenergy area is mostly found in the northern hemisphere in the USA, China and Europe.”
