Determining Comparative Advantages of Corn in Optimal Cultivation Pattern
Authors
Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to investigate comparative advantages of corn in comparison with other competitor crops. To do so, Linear Programming, to 2004-2005 data related to classic index (DRC) in Kermanshah province was applied. Results showed that corn has comparative advantages in all regions of Kermanshah province while in optimal cultivation pattern of 37.5 percentages of regions in existence of rotation and 50 percentages of regions in lack of rotation, corn acreage has been increased. In addition, comparing optimal cultivation pattern resulted from linear programming models with crops ranking based on comparative advantage indices indicated that, resources availability and limitations, tradable and non-tradable inputs costs and yield will lead to shift in production’s comparative advantage from one crop to another. Factors such as supporting policies and rotation might also have effects on comparative advantages and optimal cultivating pattern.

Successful germination is the main factor in proper establishment and seedling yield. Information on seed germination, in the face of temperature changes at the time of planting, is a way to identify more suitable cultivars for cultivation at the planting site. For this purpose, a factorial experiment was performed based on completely randomized design with 3 replications. This experiment was c...

Background: Autoimmune diseases (ADs) are chronic conditions characterized by the loss of immunological tolerance to self-antigens. ADs are not rare and show variable patterns in different countries. In this study, we aim to investigate the prevalence of autoimmune disorders and pattern of polyautoimmunity among Iranian children with endocrinopathy. Methods: Overall 45 patients with early-onset...
