Abstract
⺠A protocol is proposed for estimating crop yield potential at national scales. ⺠Robust estimates of rainfed yield potential required >15 years of weather data. ⺠Yield potential of crops in diverse systems was highly sensitive to sowing date. ⺠Diverse cropping systems required >40% coverage of crop area for stable estimates. ⺠Crop yield plateaus were observed at 75-85% of estimated national yield potential.
