Abstract:The world population is expected to rise by two billion in a few decades, boosting demand for soybean (Glycine max L.). Brazil has the world's largest tropical agricultural area, accounting for 40 % of the world's soybean output. This study was conducted to understand the potential and limitations of tropical soybean yield, estimate the amounts of main inputs (water and nutrients), and assess management to reach the crop yield potential (Y P ). We used CROPGRO-Soybean model, based on well-conducted experiments… Show more
