Benchmarking yield

Why: Guidance on crop performance over time cf to potentialGive indication of possible soils constraintSupport better understanding of their crops water use efficiency

Outcome: Improved efficiency to target investigation into crop performance: season, soil, management

Benchmarking yieldOutput

AssumptionsModified French and Shultz for yield assessment (but option to improve model)Soils tool to locate soil in region and predicted PAWcSoils tool to give guidance on potential constraints to productivity

Soils ToolSelect locationSelect soil type (picture, diagram, description)Output predicted PAWCpotential constraints

Select location, select a soil type which will give a predicted PAWc to generate a range of predicted potential yields over the previous 5 wheat years. Then benchmark your yields against the predicted yield potential RAINFALL: select the rainfall station most suitable to your farm Benchmarking Wheat Yield
