Abstract: The national ARS Wheat Yield project was formally initiated in October 1976 with the objective of developing a concise description of plant response to its environment which would include capability for yield prediction. This document describes some activities and products of the ARS Wheat Yield Group. The products presented here include brief descriptions of (a) project development, (b) data sets developed by measuring soil, plant and climate parameters through complete growth cycles of winter wheat and spring wheat at several locations and years in the Great Plains and Pacific Northwest, (c) dynamic simulation models of wheat growth and yield, and (d) methods for using remotely sensed data to assess plant conditions, provide early warnings of poor (abnormal) growing conditions, and provide surrogate inputs to the plant growth models.
