Fig. 9 Projection of soybean yield for the next millennium, based on exponential, linear, or logistic (yield maximum) models that were fitted to observed U.S. yield data from 1924 to 1998 (cf. Fig. 1). Values for the parameters of each model are given in the legend boxes (Y = yield, T = year, Tm = year corresponding to the sigmoid inflection point)
