Cornell University: Earlier wheat planting will boost yields in eastern India (India Education.com) 

August 03, 2022


India Education.com published an article originally from Cornell University. The article states that adjusting the sowing dates for wheat in eastern India will increase untapped potential production by 69 percent, new research shows, helping to ensure food security and farm profitability as the planet warms. Researchers found that farmers in eastern India could increase yield by planting wheat earlier – avoiding heat stress as the crop matures – and quantified the potential gains in yields and farm revenues for the region. The study was co-authored with researchers from IFPRI, CIMMYT, and other international development organizations. Republished by CIMMYT.
