Simulating rice and maize yield potential in the humid tropical environment of Indonesia

Little is known about the yield potential of modern rice and, particularly, maize cultivars in the tropical humid environment of Indonesia where farmers can grow 2–3 consecutive crops on the same piece of land per year. This study provides a first step to fill this knowledge gap by using two crop simulation models to estimate yield potential for rice and maize based on experiments conducted across multiple site-years and measured weather and...
