of 17.6 t ha−1(as limited by radiation and temperature; Meng et al., 2013). Other studies from Asia also show that there is a large yield gap in smallholders maize cropping systems. For example, data from several environments in India show that the potential yield of maize is as high...
As a major grain producing area, the North China Plain (NCP) pro- duces N50% of the wheat yields and ~ 40% of the maize yields in China (Mo et al., 2016). Correspondingly, a winter wheat–summer maize rota- tion is the main cropping system in the NCP (Fang et al., 2010). ...
