Measuring the impacts of adaptation strategies to drought stress: The case of drought tolerant maize varieties
This study measured the impacts of drought tolerant maize varieties (DTMVs) on productivity, welfare, and risk exposure using household and plot-level data from rural Nigeria. The study employed an endogenous switching regression approach to control for both observed and unobserved sources of heterogeneity between adopters and non-adopters. Our results showed that adoption of DTMVs increased ma...
متن کاملDesign of Wheat Drought Index Insurance in Shandong Province

However, traditional agricultural insurance with a single rate has the problems of the presence of adverse selection, the difficulty of determining premium rates and assessing the claims. As a new agricu...
متن کاملIdentifying drought Tolerant Canola Genotypes using Selection Index of Ideal Genotype
Drought stress is one of the most important abiotic factors which adversely affects growth, metabolism and yield of crops worldwide. The goal of the research was identify drought tolerate canola genotypes using the different drought tolerance indices. The experiment was conducted as split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the experimental farm of agricult...
متن کاملForages and Pastures Symposium: development of and field experience with drought-tolerant maize.
Drought-tolerant maize hybrids currently are being marketed by several seed suppliers. Such hybrids were developed by phenotypic and marker-assisted selection or through genetic modification and tested by exposing these hybrids to various degrees of water restriction. As drought intensifies, crop yields and survival progressively decline. Water need differs among plants due to differences in ro...
متن کاملDrought-induced Accumulation of Soluble Sugars and Proline in Two Maize Varieties
Drought stress is a major factor in reduce growth, development and production of plants. Stress was applied with polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 and water potentials were: zero (control), -0.15 (PEG 10%), -0.49 (PEG 20%), -1.03 (PEG 30%) and -1.76 (PEG40%) MPa. The solutes accumulation of two maize (Zea mays L.) cultivars -704 and 301were determined after drought stress. In our experiments, a hi...
