Climate change and maize yield in southern Africa: what can farm management do? by Rurinda, J., Wijk, Mark T. van, Mapfumo, Paul, Descheemaeker, Katrien K., Supit, I., Giller, Kenneth E.

“…We quantified the response of maize yield to projected climate change and to three key management options – planting date, fertilizer use and cultivar choice – using the crop simulation model, agricultural production systems simulator (APSIM), at two contrasting sites in Zimbabwe. Three climate periods up to 2100 were selected to cover both near‐ and long‐term climates. …”
