Abstract
India needs a 30% wheat production increase by 2050, primarily through intensification in eastern India. This study, using on-farm surveys, shows that wheat sowing dates significantly impact yields, outweighing other factors. Achievable sowing date adjustments could increase untapped wheat production potential by 69% without negatively affecting rice productivity, irrigation, or profitability. Transformative yield gains require integrated rice-wheat system management.
