The estimated results suggest that Kansas farmers are supply responsive to both wheat as well as its substitute (oat) prices in the short run as well as in the long run. Climate variables; temperature has a positive effect on wheat output in the short run but an insignificant effect in the...
3). This reflected that the response of MYG can approximate and represent the yield sensitivity in farmer’s fields at a regional scale. Our results were also robust across a variety of panel regression model configurations. For example, we calculated the values of climate variables with varying...
climate change, even if major changes restrict warming to +2 °C. Given the findings in this study, wheat breeding programs in South Africa may focus on combining heat tolerant cultivars with the more recent higher yielding cultivars in an attempt to provide wheat producers an avenue to ...
Adjusting sowing dates and sowing rates is a key adaptation strategy for adapting to future climate change, and maintaining wheat production in the North China Plain (NCP). However, it is still unclear whether the current sowing date and sowing rate can adapt to future climate change, and how...

In wheat the incidence and severity of diseases may vary with season, region, variety, weather, inoculum load and resistance level of the host cultivars. This variation leads to the varied yield losses even up to 100 percent under most severe conditions.
races ofP. triticinawith virulence againstLr17were first detected in significant frequencies in the Great Plains of the US and in the prairie provinces of Canada. These races had been selected by a wheat cultivar grown in Kansas that had the resistance geneLr17. By 2002, races with virulence ...
Global crop production is mostly threatened by water scarcity, and climactic variabilities signal that seasonal drought in crop fields will continue to be a major constraint limiting the future food and nutritional demands of the growing world population [1, 2]. Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), which...
Finally, consumers are being encouraged to utilize more whole grain products in their diets, and white wheats offer flavour advantages that make more appealing products, especially to children. The dry arid climate of the Great Plains is quite conducive to the production of hard white wheats. ...
