Geospatial approach for delineating extrapolation domains for sustainable agricultural intensification technologies by Muthoni, Francis K., Baijukya, Frederick P., Sseguya, H., Bekunda, Mateete A., Hoeschle-Zeledon, Irmgard, Ouko, E., Mubea, K.

“…This paper employs novel extrapolation detection (ExeDet) algorithm and gridded bioclimatic layers to delineate extrapolation domains for improved maize variety (SC719) and inorganic fertilizers (YaraMila-CEREAL® and YaraBela-Sulfan®) in Tanzania. Suitability was based on grain yields recorded in on-farm trials. …”
