      Aramburu Merlos, Fernando; Tenorio, Fátima; Mashingaidze, Nester; Sananka, Alex; Aston, Stephen; Ojeda, Jonathan; Grassini, Patricio (Nature Publishing Group, 2024-05-27)
      Maize demand in Sub-Saharan Africa is expected to increase 2.3 times during the next 30 years driven by demographic and dietary changes. Over the past two decades, the area cropped with maize has expanded by 17 million ...
    • Irrigation increases on-farm soybean yields in water-limited environments without a trade-off in seed protein concentration 

      Carciocchi, Walter Daniel; Grassini, Patricio; Naeve, Seth; Specht, James; Mamo, Mitiku; Seymour, Ron; Nygren, Aaron; Mueller, Nathan; Sivits, Sarah; Proctor, Christopher; Rees, Jenny; Whitney, Todd; Cafaro La Menza, Nicolás (Elsevier, 2023-12-01)
      Context or problem: A trade-off between seed protein concentration (SPC) and yield has been reported for soybean. Therefore, assessing management practices that can nullify this trade-off is relevant to avoid further ...
    • Potential for crop production increase in Argentina through closure of existing yield gaps 

      Aramburu Merlos, Fernando; Monzon, Juan Pablo; Mercau, Jorge Luis; Taboada, Miguel Angel; Andrade, Fernando Hector; Hall, Antonio Juan; Jobbagy Gampel, Esteban Gabriel; Cassman, Kenneth G.; Grassini, Patricio (Elsevier, 2015-12)
      Favorable climate and soils for rainfed crop production, together with a relatively low population density, results in 70–90% of Argentina grain production being exported. No assessment to date has tried to estimate the ...
