Prior research for in-season, pre-harvest crop yield

The gap

Evidence profile

Sourced from the stated research gap and inline gaps and abstract of the source papers, classified as general, drawn from work published between 1978 and 2026, spanning 6 journals. Those papers have been cited 48 times in total.

Supporting evidence — 6 representative gaps

• Innovation in pest management: can the past inform the future? (2026) · Pest Management Science · doi

  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.

• CY-Bench: a comprehensive benchmark dataset for sub-national crop yield forecasting (2026) · Earth System Science Data · doi

  Prior research for in-season, pre-harvest crop yield forecasting has primarily been case-study based, making it difficult to compare modeling approaches and measure progress systematically.

• 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.

• Revenue Administration and Agricultural Statistics in Bombay Presidency (1978) · The Indian Economic & Social History Review · cited 1× · doi

  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.

• How accurate are yield estimates from crop cuts? Evidence from smallholder maize farms in Ethiopia (2021) · Food Policy · cited 47× · doi

  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.
