Summary: By using principal component and meta-QTL analyses, genetic loci affecting the trade-off of wheat grain number and size were identified, providing opportunities for optimizing breeding strategies. The study confirmed the negative phenotypic relationship between thousand grain weight (TGW) and grain number components, which could be alleviated through early anthesis and higher shoot biomass.

Summary: Drought during the overwintering period poses a threat to the emergence rate and yield of winter-seeded spring wheat in the Hetao Plain Irrigation District in Inner Mongolia. A study was conducted from 2017 to 2019 to explore different treatments and their impacts on emergence rate, growth attributes, grain quality, and yield of winter-seeded spring wheat. The results showed that film-mulching hole sowing in winter improved soil water and the emergence rate, significantly accelerated the growth process of wheat, increased yield, and promoted grain quality.

Summary: Understanding the relationship between physiological traits, such as radiation use efficiency (RUE), with yield and yield components in canola is essential for developing high-yielding and high-quality cultivars. Results from this study show that cultivars with higher RUE and later maximum leaf area index (LAI) tend to have higher biological and seed yield, highlighting the importance of growth duration and crop growth rate in improving yield potential. These findings can be used to enhance canola crop growth models and breeding programs.

Summary: This study aims to identify the nitrogen utilization patterns of spring wheat and how they are influenced by agronomic management practices. The results show that the average nitrogen use efficiency for grain nitrogen production is 60% under high nitrogen rates. Late-season precipitation plays a crucial role in nitrogen uptake after anthesis. Increasing early-season nitrogen accumulation and grain-fill remobilization can enhance grain nitrogen levels.

Summary: Canada is a major wheat exporter with significant production challenges due to water scarcity. Effective water management practices, particularly in terms of fallow and irrigation, play a crucial role in increasing wheat yields. Simulation results suggest that in the Canadian Prairies, a water input of 400 mm is sufficient to achieve maximum yields.

Summary: Understanding the spatial and temporal variations of maize yield and manageable yield variations in different land resource areas are crucial for precision crop management in the USA. This study found a closer association between maize yield and in-season precipitation in the Coastal Plain compared to the Piedmont region. The predictability of within-field spatial patterns in rainfed fields increased at the end of June in the Coastal Plain.

Summary: Ground-level ozone concentration is increasing in Asia, which poses a major threat to global wheat supply as wheat is highly sensitive to ozone. Comparing China, India, Europe, and North America, China has the highest estimated yield loss followed by India, Europe, and North America. The reduction in single grain weight contributes to yield loss in China, Europe, and North America, while the reduction in the number of grains contributes more in India. The difference in cultivars used among regions may explain the differential yield response. It is important to quantify ozone-induced yield loss for each region, taking into account the effects of seasonal ozone concentration changes, cultivars, and climate.

Summary: The soybean industry in Canada has faced setbacks due to climate risks and uncertainties in the global market. To adapt to climate change and make informed decisions, it is necessary to understand the future climate impacts on soybean production. The study found that as the climate warms, soybean production will expand further north and west, but in the mid-term, irrigation would be needed in semi-arid regions to mitigate increased precipitation deficits.

Summary: Film mulching ridge-furrow planting (RF) is an important dry farming mode for wheat, but it often causes lodging due to lignin accumulation in the stems. This study investigated the effects of regulating the population distribution on lodging occurrence in wheat and found that adjusting the population distribution can improve lodging resistance by enhancing the mechanical properties of the stems and promoting lignin synthesis and accumulation. The light environment plays a crucial role in lignin biosynthesis and lodging resistance.

Summary: This study conducted a field experiment to test different methods and species of cover crops. The results showed that early establishment of cover crops, specifically direct sowing or sowing 10 days before harvest, had a positive impact on biomass formation and weed suppression. The performance of cover crops varied depending on the species, sowing date, and weather conditions, but a diverse cover crop mixture showed more stable performance under variable weather conditions.

Summary: This study used simulation experiments to evaluate the effects of planting time, nitrogen rate, and crop variety choice on potato productivity in Ethiopia. The results showed that shifting planting time forward and changing the nitrogen application rate had greater productivity benefits than switching varieties. In the mid-century climate period, early planting of medium and long maturity varieties with higher nitrogen rates showed potential adaptation benefits.
