irrigation strategies much more critical. Maximizing yield reduces profit by between $22 and $158 per acre depending on the …

climate change on acreage and yield responses. Preliminary results suggest that temperature has an impact on the acreage and … yield responses whereas precipitation did not have any impact. …

model was estimated using panel data to examine the effects of research investment on mean yield and yield variance. Results … show that, for the time period between 1974 and 1995, research investment enhanced yield stability but had no significant … impact on mean yield. Key words: yield, yield variance, research investment. …
