Cover Story: The effect of persistently high levels of anthropogenic aerosols during winter on wheat production, an important winter crop in the eastern Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP), was studied using the Agricultural Production System Simulator (APSIM) model. The model was applied at several nodes within the eastern IGP (Nepal, India, and Bangladesh) using wheat field trial data from 2015 to 2017. The model revealed anthropogenic aerosols reduced wheat grain yield, biomass yield, and crop evapotranspiration by on average 11.2–13.5%, 21.2–22%, and 13.5–15%, respectively, during the 2015–2017 seasons at the eastern IGP sites. The modeled reduction in wheat yield represents an average reduction of more than 3.2 kg per capita per annum due to anthropogenic aerosols, which is a substantial impact on food security in the eastern IGP.
