Yield reduction under climate warming varies among wheat cultivars in South Africa
A. M. Shew, J. B. Tack, et al.
This study reveals how extreme heat significantly cuts wheat yields in South Africa, showing that just 24 extra hours above 30°C can lead to a 12.5% decrease. With predictions indicating substantial yield reductions under various warming scenarios, the potential for cultivar adaptation through breeding is highlighted. This important research was conducted by Aaron M. Shew, Jesse B. Tack, Lawton L. Nalley, and Petronella Chaminuka.
