The Contribution of Genetic Resources and Diversity to Wheat Production in the Punjab of Pakistan
使用Just-Pope生产函数,分析遗传资源和多样性变量对巴基斯坦旁遮普省小麦产量均值与方差的影响,发现灌溉区品种集中度与产量正相关,雨养区谱系变量提高产量并降低波动。
Abstract Recent criticisms of the “green revolution” wheats concern the effects of their popularity on crop diversity and the consequences for productivity and conservation. We use a Just‐Pope production function to test the relationship of genetic resource and diversity variables to mean and variance of wheat yields in the Punjab of Pakistan. In irrigated areas, greater area concentration among varieties is associated with higher mean yields. In rainfed districts, genealogical variables are associated positively with mean yield and negatively with yield variance. Further research is needed to overcome data limitations, capture biological relationships more accurately, and specify a fuller decision‐making model.
