Yield gap analysis with local to global relevance—A review (2013, methodology): “If crop production resources (including soil properties) and input levels have also been recorded, methods such as the boundary line approach or frontier analysis can be used to identify the highest yields for a given level of resource availability (Tittonell et al., 2008a; Fermont et al., 2009; Gra”
Factors Affecting Nitrogen Use Efficiency and Grain Yield of Summer Maize on Smallholder Farms in the North China Plain (2018, methodology): “For the factor that was the most limiting, the number of corresponding fields was counted for each site [21,29].”
When yield gaps are poverty traps: The paradigm of ecological intensification in African smallholder agriculture (2013, background): “n the Southwest region (20 t ha−1 year−1) than in the Central 12 t ha−1 year−1) and South (10 t ha−1 year−1) (Wairegi et al., 2010) hereas the estimated national average yield in 2007 was only .”
Agronomic and economic benefits of coffee-banana intercropping in Uganda's smallholder farming systems (2011, methodology): “Banana yield (t ha 1 year 1) was estimated based on bunch weights, mat spacing, and average crop cycle duration (i.e. time between two subsequent harvests from the same mat) as used by Wairegi et al. (2010) in the same regions.”
