Crop-group-specific regional time-series of modern (high-yielding) variety adoption shares. Loaded at decadal resolution from the Excel file and interpolated to annual resolution by load_general_data(). Used together with HI_crop_ranges to compute crop-specific HI correction factors for residue estimation.
