Dealing with Multiple Objectives in Agriculture
نویسنده
چکیده
This chapter reviews the multicriteria analysis applied to the selection problems in agricultural systems. It also discusses life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) from the decision analytic framework. Special attention is paid to the attributes (evaluation criteria) used for evaluating agricultural systems by considering their impacts on the environment. Problem structuring in decision analysis, which is related to the definition of impact categories in LCIA, is also discussed to construct multiple objectives suitable for agri-environmental decision making.

Background and Objectives: A major challenge that affects the longitudinal studies is the problem of missing data. Missing in the data may result in the loss of part of the information which reduces the accuracy of the estimator and obtain the results will be biased and inaccurate. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the missing data mechanism from a longitudinal research and to consider thi...
متن کاملModeling for precision agriculture: how good
During the development of precision agriculture technology, prior existence of crop simulation models prompted their application to modeling spatial variation in yield. On the face of it, extending a fairly mature 1-D model of crop growth and yield appeared to be a matter of developing spatial suites of input parameters and running amodel for each set. For many models, extensive literature had ...

متن کاملResponses of multiple generations of Spodoptera littoralis feeding on gossypol
One of our objectives in this investigation is to determine responses of S. littoralis through different developmental stages and generations to secondary metabolic compound presumably gossypol. Gossypol did not significantly show antifeedant except with high concentration (1.7% gossypol in the diet) that gave 10.6, 21.9, and 46.8% for three generations, respectively. Significantly longer larva...
