Optimization of Sowing Date and Irrigation Schedule of Maize in Different Cropping Systems for Grain Mechanical Harvesting in the North China Plain

Wang, Jintao; Dong, Xinliang; Qiu, Rangjian; Lou, Boyuan; … - 2022

efficiency and decrease the harvest cost of maize production. However, the cultivar, sowing date, irrigation schedule, and … optimizing sowing date and irrigation schedule of different maize cultivars in various cropping systems was proposed in this … 25% for the first time (DCM25). The DCM25, yield, water use efficiency, and irrigation amount were used as constraints in …

Climate change, risk and grain production in China

Holst, Rainer; Yu, Xiaohua; Grün, Carola - 2011

This paper employs the production function-based method proposed by Just and Pope (1978, 1979) to explicitly analyze production risk in the context of Chinese grain farming and climate change, and test for potential endogeneity of climate factors in Chinese grain production. Our results indicate...

Threshold effect or spatial spillover? : the impact of agricultural mechanization on grain production

Wu, Zhihao; Dang, Jingqi; Pang, Yipu; Xu, Wei - In: Journal of applied economics 24 (2021) 1, pp. 478-503

The increase in agricultural machinery input contribution rate has been the most significant structural change in the input factors of grain production in recent years. In this study, we constructed a threshold regression model and a spatial Durbin model to investigate the threshold effects and...

Will climate change benefit or hurt Russian grain production? : a statistical evidence from a panel approach

Belyaeva, Maria; Bokuševa, Raušan - 2017

We conduct an examination of the climate effect to analyze the historical dependence of grain production on temperatures and precipitation levels, and project this dependence to estimate the productivity of different grain types in the mid- and long-terms, given four greenhouse gas concentration...
