- Retric 4y agoFalse, 35C is described as the highest optimal temperature not the maximum in your link. Yields do slowly decline with increased temperature. For specifics, “Germination occurs within the temperature range of 50° to 107°F with an optimum temperature of about 87°F.” https://www.uaex.uada.edu/publications/pdf/mp192/chapter-2.pdf https://www.uaex.uada.edu/publications/pdf/mp192/chapter-2.p... Further, it’s exactly the kind of reason to chose a new variety over an old one.
- Daishiman 4y agoAhh fantastic. Now let's talk about the rest of the flora and fauna that is absolutely essential for crop growth beyond the few staples that get researched.
- politician 4y agoBefore saying "False" and dropping the mic, you should pull the paper and look at Table 1. High temperature stresses start at 25°C. Above 35°C, photosynthesis drops by 15%, grain size suffers, etc. "Yields slowly decline" is a mischaracterization of the situation.
