National wheat intensification and rapid scaling of a registered dry-seed conditioning programme in Uzbekistan
This paper demonstrates that the rapid scaling of a registered dry-seed conditioning programme in Uzbekistan from 2025 to 2026 successfully drove a 73.4% increase in area-weighted wheat yields and a 45% rise in total production, despite a 16.4% reduction in cultivated area, by significantly improving crop emergence, stand density, and maturity timing.
