Explaining rice yields and yield gaps in Central Luzon, Philippines: An application of stochastic frontier analysis and crop modelling
Study explains yield gaps using data related to crop management, biophysical constraints and available technologies
Abstract
Explaining yield gaps is crucial to understand the main technical constraints faced by farmers to increase land productivity. 皇冠体育app objective of this study is to decompose the yield gap into efficiency, resource and technology yield gaps for irrigated lowland rice-based farming systems in Central Luzon, Philippines, and to explain those yield gaps using data related to crop management, biophysical constraints and available technologies.
This is an output from the 鈥業ntegrated assessment of the determinants of the maize yield gap in Sub-Saharan Africa: towards farm innovation and enabling policies鈥� project led by the University of Wageningen.
