Resource Use Efficiency Analysis for Potato Production in Nepal

Use of local material in seed-bed mixes for production of seedling from true potato seed

Efficiency, Production, and Resource Consumption

This work explores the historical effectiveness of efficiency improvements in reducing mankind’s impact on the earth. Ten activities are analyzed, including pig iron production, aluminum production, nitrogen fertilizer production, electricity generation from coal, oil, and natural gas, freight rail travel, passenger air travel, motor vehicle travel, and refrigeration. The data and analyses pres...

Resource Use Efficiency for Cowpea Production in Akatsi District of Ghana

Cowpeas have been identified as one of the crops with the highest and cheapest source of protein which can be relied on to help curb malnutrition problem in most developing countries. Farmers in most farming communities in Ghana, such as Akatsi in the Volta region, still practice the „tradition bound‟ agriculture. The returns from such production system are estimated to be below potential level...

Study of Water Use Efficiency in the potato farms of Hamadan-Bahar Plain

Water resource limits, missing a developed irrigation program and undesirable water quality are the basic parameters that affect agricultural development of Iran. This research focus on irrigation amount water and its duration in other to increase crop yield of potato on Hamadan-Bahar plain. To this regard, there potato farm located on different area of the plain were selected during agronomic ...

Two-Stage DEA Analysis of Water Resource Use Efficiency

This paper presents an extended two-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA) method for analyzing water resource use efficiency (WRUE) and related WRUE issues, which was developed by introducing regional water resource metabolic theory into the two-stage DEA method. It has the following advantages: (1) it has the ability to reflect the inner difference and connection of the regional water resource...
