Maize crop nutrient input requirements for food security in sub-Saharan Africa por Berge, Hein F.M. ten, Hijbeek, Renske, Loon, Marloes P. van, Rurinda, Jairos, Tesfaye, Kinde, Zingore, Shamie, Craufurd, Peter Q., Heerwaarden, Joost van, Brentrup, Frank, Schröder, Jaap J., Boogaard, Hendrik L., Groot, Hugo L.E. de, Ittersum, Martin K. van

“…Here, we propose a generic and simple equilibrium model to estimate minimum input requirements of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium for target yields in cereal crops under highly efficient management. The model was combined with Global Yield Gap Atlas data to explore minimum input requirements for self-sufficiency in 2050 for maize in nine countries in SSA. …”

Progenitor species hold untapped diversity for potential climate-responsive traits for use in wheat breeding and crop improvement por Leigh, Fiona, Wright, Tally I. C., Horsnell, Richard, Dyer, Sarah, Bentley, Alison R.

“…Here we provide a review of the status of characterisation of wheat progenitor variation and the potential to use this knowledge to inform the use of variation in other cereal crops. Although significant knowledge of progenitor variation has been generated, we make recommendations for further work required to systematically characterise underlying genetics and physiological mechanisms and propose steps for effective use in breeding. …”
