Farming Techniques, Environmental Challenges, and Technical Efficiency of Sweet Potato Production in Abia State, Nigeria
Viable sweet potato production is hard to achieve with indiscriminate use of farm inputs, resulting to wastage and environmental damages, as consequences are common problems of arable crop farming in Abia State. Issues arising from farm input use and their corresponding implications for environment called for a study on suitable farming practices and farm-specific technical efficiency for optim...
متن کاملmolecular and physiological characterizations of floral scent production in rosa damascena mill.
گل محمدی (r. damascena mill.)مهمترین گونه ای است که در تولید گلاب، عطر و اسانس، در صنعت عطرسازی و دارویی کاربرد دارد. با وجود اهمیت عطر گل محمدی، پژوهش های مولکولی و بیوشیمیایی عطر گل این گونه هنوز در مراحل ابتدایی است. در این پژوهش، ویژگی های مولکولی و فیزیولوژیکی تولید عطر در گل محمدی در آزمایش های مختلف مورد بررسی قرار گرفتند. در آزمایش اول، پژوهشی به منظور بررسی تنوع شیمیایی اسانس میان 44 ت...
Does Participation in Farmer Field School Extension Program Improve Crop Yields? Evidence from Smallholder Tea Production Systems in Kenya
Agricultural Extension services are among the most important rural services in developing countries. The services are considered to be a key driver of technological change and productivity growth in agriculture. In Kenya, like in the rest of the developing economies, agricultural extension has largely been delivered through supply–driven approaches. Due to perceived low impact of agricultural e...
متن کاملLivestock Farming Systems and Cattle Production Orientation in Eastern High Plains of Algeria, Cattle Farming System in Algerian Semi-Arid Region
This study was an attempt to devise productive orientations of cattle herds in eastern high plains of Algeria. In this regard, 165 farms randomly identified were investigated. The selection of breeders was based to existence of cattle on the farm, and the farmer proposed to investigation must have at least two cows. The approach taken was to identify all systems adopted by farmers in a region t...
متن کاملProduction Constraints Modelling: A Tactical Review Approach
A constraint is a limitation or a restriction that poses a threat to the performance and efficiency of a system. This paper presented a tactical review approach to production constraints modeling. It discussed the theory of constraints (TOC) as a thinking process and continuous improvement strategy to curtail constraints in other to constantly increase the performance and efficiency of a system...
