Summary: Progress in raising potential yields is likely to be harder than in the past and less likely to lead automatic yield increases at low levels of input. We are reaching the point where breeding for specific adaptation to less favorable physical environments need more attention in particular to exploitation of the elusive, but undoubtedly real, genotype differences in adaptation to moisture stress high and low temperature stress, nutrient toxicity, and certain nutrient deficiencies
