Indigenous plant protection practices in dry land agricultural agro ecosystems: Rationality of farmers’ knowledge system

Farmers’ Rights and Protection of Traditional Agricultural Knowledge

The CAPRi Program is one of several Inter-Center Initiatives of the CGIAR and aims to promote comparative research on the role played by property and collective action institutions in shaping the efficiency, sustainability, and equity components of natural resource systems. CAPRi Working Papers contain preliminary material and research results, and are circulated prior to a full peer review in ...

Corn production and plant characteristics response to N fertilization management in dry-land conventional tillage system

Nitrogen (N) application management needs to be refined for low yielding environments under dryland conditions. This 3-yr study examined nitrogen fertilization management effects on corn (Zea mays L.) plant characteristics and grain yield in rain fed environment under conventional tillage system. Nitrogen fertilization management consisted of two timing methods of N application [all N at planti...

Plant viruses: exploiting agricultural and natural ecosystems.

Finite Automata Models in Agro-ecosystem and Plant Protection

Diseases in plants cause major production and economic losses in agricultural industry worldwide. Monitoring of health and detection of diseases in plants and trees is critical for sustainable agriculture. In this paper an approach for building software systems for plant disease control that perform real time prediction of the outbreak and the development of the disease is proposed. Mathematica...
