Corn: Attainable crop yields

Attainable yields are feasible crop yields based on outputs from high-yielding areas of similar climate. They are more conservative than absolute biophysical ‘potential yields’, but are achievable using current technologies and management (e.g. fertilizers and irrigation). Corn (maize) yields are measured in tonnes per hectare.
