In practice, crop cuts and other sample-based protocols
Research gap analysis derived from 4 agriculture papers in our local library.
The gap
However, in practice, crop cuts and other sample-based protocols vary widely in the details of their implementations and little empirical work has documented how alternative yield estimation methods perform.
Evidence profile
Sourced from the stated research gap and abstract of the source papers, classified as general, drawn from work published between 1978 and 2026, spanning 4 journals. Those papers have been cited 48 times in total.

- A Soil-Aware Hybrid AI Model for Precision Crop Recommendation and Yield Forecasting (2026) · Engineering, Technology & Applied Science Research · doi
Existing research addresses either crop recommendation or yield prediction, but not both. There is a need for modern decision support systems to provide estimated Crop Yield (CY) and ensure that output meets market requirements.

The paper identifies the gap in prior research as the lack of comparison between revenue yields and crop-cutting yields. The study highlights the need for a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between condition factors and rainfall.

The paper identifies a gap in the current understanding of crop yield growth, specifically the decline in productivity growth in recent years. The paper also identifies a gap in the current methods used to forecast yields, which may not account for changes in trends over time.
