Crop Yields

In this book the authors present current research in the study of the production, management practices and impact of climate change on crop yields across the globe. Topics discussed include the peculiarities of photosynthesis on wheat genotypes contrast in grain yield and their use in breeding programs; options for optimal use of water resources for securing future agricultural production; the potential impact of climate change on wheat production in Australia; and improvement of cotton production in arid saline soils by beneficial microbes.
