Article Synopsis
- - Crop yield needs to rise to meet increasing global demand, and past successes in production have stemmed from the integration of technologies and practices rather than single innovations.
- - Research should focus on developing synergistic farming systems that combine genetic and management techniques to enhance crop yield and overcome production limitations.
- - In southeastern Australia’s rainfed grain systems, growers have used innovative techniques like soil water conservation and crop diversity to maintain yields despite declining rainfall, with ongoing collaboration improving genetic stability and adaptation in crops.
Wheat ( L.) is the most widely-grown crop in the Mediterranean semi-arid (150-400 mm) cropping zones of both southern Australia and the inland Pacific Northwest (PNW) of the United States of America (United States). Low precipitation, low winter temperatures and heat and drought conditions during late spring and summer limit wheat yields in both regions.
