Assessing genetic and agronomic gains in rice yield in sub-Saharan Africa: A meta-analysis

We perform a meta-analysis to quantify genetic gain - yield increase through use of new variety and calculated by yield difference between new variety and variety popularly grown in the target site, and agronomic gain - difference in yield between improved agronomic practices and the control in SSA using 208 paired observations from 40 studies across 12 countries.
