  • Modelled impacts of extreme heat and drought on maize yield in South Africa 
    Mangani, Robert; Tesfamariam, Eyob Habte; Bellocchi, Gianni; Hassen, Abubeker (CSIRO, 2018-07)
    This study assessed two versions of the crop model CropSyst (i.e. EMS, existing; MMS, modified) for their ability to simulate maize (Zea mays L.) yield in South Africa. MMS algorithms explicitly account for the impact of ...
