  • Closing the yield gap

    Steve Larocque - December 3, 2013

    This is an excellent graph outlining the world record yields for wheat, barley, corn, soybeans, potatoes, sugar beets and the amount of yield loss that occurs from biotic and abiotic stresses. We're losing 70% of our yield to abiotic stress factors! Time to focus our attention on the farming systems that help reduce abiotic stress in plants.

Hi there, this is a nice chart for teaching. I would like to use it to picture out the situation. Just wondering what year is recorded there (is it 2013 data?). Thanks.
