PAPER PRESENTED AT INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON INCREASING WHEAT YIELD POTENTIAL, CIMMYT, OBREGON, MEXICO, 20–24 MARCH 2006 Sustainable improvement of wheat yield potential: the role of crop management

A significant proportion of wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) yield increases achieved at the farm level in the past can be attributed to improved crop management practices. The important role of crop management practices in increasing the yield potential in wheat sustainably is illustrated with recent research findings from North Dakota. In the dryer regions, no-till and crop rotations significantly improve yield and protect the productivity of the...
