Using microsatellite data to estimate the persistence of field-level yield gaps and their drivers in smallholder systems

Balwinder-Singh Meha Jain (2023, [Artículo])

One way to meet growing food demand is to increase yields in regions that have large yield gaps, including smallholder systems. To do this, it is important to quantify yield gaps, their persistence, and their drivers at large spatio-temporal scales. Here we use microsatellite data to map field-level yields from 2014 to 2018 in Bihar, India and use these data to assess the magnitude, persistence, and drivers of yield gaps at the landscape scale. We find that overall yield gaps are large (33% of mean yields), but only 17% of yields are persistent across time. We find that sowing date, plot area, and weather are the factors that most explain variation in yield gaps across our study region, with earlier sowing associated with significantly higher yield values. Simulations suggest that if all farmers were able to adopt ideal management strategies, including earlier sowing and more irrigation use, yield gaps could be closed by up to 42%. These results highlight the ability of micro-satellite data to understand yield gaps and their drivers, and can be used to help identify ways to increase production in smallholder systems across the globe.

Indicadores de integridad ecológica y salud ambiental para las cuencas de los ríos Yautepec y Cuautla, Morelos: primera etapa

Perla Alonso_EguíaLis JORGE LUIS IZURIETA DAVILA REBECA GONZALEZ VILLELA (2016, [Documento de trabajo])

Los objetivos del proyecto son: 1) Síntesis de la investigación que se ha realizado sobre monitoreo y biomonitoreo; 2) Análisis del cambio climático y del régimen de caudal en las cuencas; 3) Localización física y análisis de los factores de estrés al sistema, como descargas, calidad del agua y alteraciones hidrológicas generadas por modificaciones hidráulicas; 4) Localización de sitios de referencia para bioindicadores; y 5) Elaboración de un sistema de información geográfica.
