The main factors for yield gap are sub-optimal crop management practices, nutrient eficiency and imbalance, local soil problems (e.g., compaction, salinity, alkalinity, acidity, and Fe, Al or Bo toxicity), non-optimal sowing (timing or density), inferior seed quality, poor disease and pest control including weed, and abiotic stress (e.g., heat and water stress) 9,15,16.
