Global wheat production with 1.5 and 2.0°C above pre‐industrial warming - Bing Liu; Pierre Martre; Frank Ewert; John R. Porter; Andy J. Challinor; Christoph Müller; Alex C. Ruane; Katharina Waha; Peter J. Thorburn; Pramod K. Aggarwal; Mukhtar Ahmed; Juraj Balkovič; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2019)
Efforts to limit global warming to below 2°C in relation to the pre‐industrial level are under way, in accordance with the 2015 Paris Agreement. However, most impact research on agriculture to date has focused on impacts of warming >2°C on mean crop yields, and many previous studies did not focus sufficiently on extreme events and yield interannual variability. Here, with the latest climate scenarios from the Half a degree Additional warming, Prognosis and Projected Impacts (HAPPI) project, we evaluated the impacts of the 2015 Paris Agreement range of global warming (1.5 and 2.0°C warming above the pre‐industrial period) on global wheat production and local yield variability. A multi‐crop and multi‐climate model ensemble over a global network of sites developed by the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP) for Wheat was used to represent major rainfed and irrigated wheat cropping systems. Results show that projected global wheat production will change by −2.3% to 7.0% under the 1.5°C scenario and −2.4% to 10.5% under the 2.0°C scenario, compared to a baseline of 1980–2010, when considering changes in local temperature, rainfall, and global atmospheric CO 2 concentration, but no changes in management or wheat cultivars. The projected impact on wheat production varies spatially; a larger increase is projected for temperate high rainfall regions than for moderate hot low rainfall and irrigated regions. Grain yields in warmer regions are more likely to be reduced than in cooler regions. Despite mostly positive impacts on global average grain yields, the frequency of extremely low yields (bottom 5 percentile of baseline distribution) and yield inter‐annual variability will increase under both warming scenarios for some of the hot growing locations, including locations from the second largest global wheat producer—India, which supplies more than 14% of global wheat. The projected global impact of warming

Wheat grain protein concentration is an important determinant of wheat quality for human nutrition that is often overlooked in efforts to improve crop production. We tested and applied a 32‐multi‐model ensemble to simulate global wheat yield and quality in a changing climate. Potential benefits of elevated atmospheric CO 2 concentration by 2050 on global wheat grain and protein yield are likely to be negated by impacts from rising temperature and changes in rainfall, but with considerable disparities between regions. Grain and protein yields are expected to be lower and more variable in most low‐rainfall regions, with nitrogen availability limiting growth stimulus from elevated CO 2 . Introducing genotypes adapted to warmer temperatures (and also considering changes in CO 2 and rainfall) could boost global wheat yield by 7% and protein yield by 2%, but grain protein concentration would be reduced by −1.1 percentage points, representing a relative change of −8.6%. Climate change adaptations that benefit grain yield are not always positive for grain quality, putting additional pressure on global wheat production.

Enhancing the Proficiency of Water Use in Wheat Through Nitrogen Forms, Irrigation Intervals and Soil Conditioners - S.M.M. Abdou; R. Ahmed Azza; S. Naresh Kumar; F.R.M. Farrag (Irrigation and Drainage, 2018)
Field experiments were carried out at the Tameia Agricultural Research Station, Fayoum Governorate, Egypt, during the 2013/14 and 2014/15 seasons in order to study the impact of nitrogen fertilization forms, irrigation intervals and some soil conditioners on the yield, yield components and crop water relations of wheat (Giza 168). Two nitrogen forms with three irrigation intervals, i.e. I 1 : irrigation at 14 days, I 2 : 21 days and I 3 : 28 days with soil conditioners at the rate of 11.9 t ha ‐1 , i.e. C 1 control (without any addition), C 2 : compost, C 3 : rice straw and C 4 : sawdust with three replications in a split‐split plot design. Results indicate that the highest wheat grain yields in both years were detected from a combination of applying liquid ammonia gas, irrigation at 14‐day intervals and addition of compost. This treatment also gave higher values for yield components, uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and their concentration in the grain. Further, it resulted in highest values for the consumptive use of water as well as water productivity. Thus, a combination of applying liquid ammonia gas, irrigation at 14‐day intervals and addition of compost can be adopted in wider areas in Egypt for enhanced wheat grain yield. © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Statistical characteristics of cloud burst and mini‐cloud burst events during monsoon season in India - N. R. Deshpande; D. R. Kothawale; Vinay Kumar; J. R. Kulkarni (International Journal of Climatology, 2018)
A short‐duration heavy rainfall events over India have been studied using hourly rainfall data of 126 stations for the period 1969–2015 for the Indian summer monsoon season. The events have been classified into two categories. The first category pertains to cloud burst (CB). The CB events have been further classified into two types, viz. “CBa” and “CBb.” CBa events are associated with heavy rainfall in the steep slope mountainous regions of Himalayas identified based on flash floods and damages to properties and human losses, irrespective of the rainfall amount. CBb events are associated with rainfall >10 cm/hr as per the definition by India Meteorological Department (IMD). The statistics of CBb events has been provided in the paper. A total of 28 CBb events have been recorded over Indian region in the study period. These are found to occur over different parts of India. A new and second category of short‐term heavy rainfall event has been defined as “mini‐cloud burst” (MCB). It is an event in which rainfall in two consecutive rain‐hours is 5 cm or more. Statistical characteristics of these events have been investigated. MCB occurs in June over Western Ghats, over central India and foot hills of Himalayas in July and August. The frequency is low in the month of September. These events generally found to occur in the early morning hours at foot hills of Himalaya and along the west coast of India. In the interior of the land mass these are observed in the afternoon hours while in southern peninsula during night hours. Trend analyses indicate significant increase in these events at many places, except over northeast India. The statistics of CBb and MCB events provided in the paper will trigger numerical modelling studies for understanding the dynamics and invigoration of convection.

To accelerate genetic gains in breeding, physiological trait (PT) characterization of candidate parents can help make more strategic crosses, increasing the probability of accumulating favorable alleles compared to crossing relatively uncharacterized lines. In this study, crosses were designed to complement “source” with “sink” traits, where at least one parent was selected for favorable expression of biomass and/or radiation use efficiency—source—and the other for sink-related traits like harvest-index, kernel weight and grains per spike. Female parents were selected from among genetic resources—including landraces and products of wide-crossing (i.e. synthetic wheat)—that had been evaluated in Mexico at high yield potential or under heat stress, while elite lines were used as males. Progeny of crosses were advanced to the F 4 generation within Mexico, and F 4 -derived F 5 and F 6 generations were yield tested to populate four international nurseries, targeted to high yield environments (2nd and 3rd WYCYT) for yield potential, and heat stressed environments (2nd and 4th SATYN) for climate resilience, respectively. Each nursery was grown as multi-location yield trials. Genetic gains were achieved in both temperate and hot environments, with most new PT-derived lines expressing superior yield and biomass compared to local checks at almost all international sites. Furthermore, the tendency across all four nurseries indicated either the superiority of the best new PT lines compared with the CIMMYT elite checks, or the superiority of all new PT lines as a group compared with all checks, and in some cases, both. Results support—in a realistic breeding context—the hypothesis that yield and radiation use efficiency can be increased by improving source:sink balance, and validate the feasibility of incorporating exotic germplasm into mainstream breeding efforts to accelerate genetic gains for yield potential and climate resilience.
