Topological Optimum Approach for Improving Indicators for Agricultural Sustainability by Waseem Asghar Khan

“…According to the constant return to scale (CRS) topology, the area may be reduced by 8.7831667 percent in 2009, resulting in a given optimal crop yield scenario. Similarly, the area may be reduced by 3.9425506 percent in 2010 to attain a given optimum crop production topology, by 4.0198591 percent in 2011 to achieve the same amount of crop production, and by 1.0621519 percent in 2012 to attain the desired level of crop output. …”

Stress, nutrients and genotype: understanding and managing asparagine accumulation in wheat grain by Joseph Oddy, Sarah Raffan, Mark D. Wilkinson, J. Stephen Elmore, Nigel G. Halford

“…Abstract Plant stress and poor crop management strategies compromise the foundations of food security: crop yield, nutritional quality and food safety. Accumulation of high concentrations of the amino acid asparagine in its free (soluble, non-protein) form is an example of an undesirable outcome of stress for the nutritional quality and food safety of wheat because of its role as a precursor to acrylamide, a carcinogenic processing contaminant. …”
