Radiation and agriculture
نویسنده
چکیده
Inorganic fertilizers have become the pillars supporting a burgeoning world population. With population doubling during the lifetime of each of us, a tremendous strain has been put on the ability of agriculture to feed mankind. Agriculture has responded magnificently, with yields of most crops more than doubling in the past 15 years. Cereal production mcreased by 150% (Table 1). Unfortunately however, over one-half of this increase can be attributed to an input dependent on a non-renewable resource in its manufacture. inorganic fertilizer [1].

Global Solar Radiation Prediction for Makurdi, Nigeria Using Feed Forward Backward Propagation Neural Network
The optimum design of solar energy systems strongly depends on the accuracy of solar radiation data. However, the availability of accurate solar radiation data is undermined by the high cost of measuring equipment or non-functional ones. This study developed a feed-forward backpropagation artificial neural network model for prediction of global solar radiation in Makurdi, Nigeria (7.7322 N lo...
