Wei Xiong; Elena Tarnavsky Atmosphere 2020. doi:10.3390/atmos11090982
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Simulated current maize yields were far below potential yields in Tanzania.
- Observation Simulated national maize yields were slightly above the mean reported from 1984 to 2014.
- Association Periodic drought reduced maize yield.
- Observation The modeled maize production had high risk and low sustainability in most maize areas.
- Intervention effect Long maturity, drought tolerant cultivars combined with high fertilizer input could increase national maize production up to fivefold.
