Modelling of longitudinal data from agricultural experiments using growth curves help understand conditions conducive or unconducive to crop growth. Recent advances in Geographical Information Systems (GIS) now allow geocoding of agricultural data that help understand spatial patterns. A particularly common problem is capturing spatial variation in growth patterns over the entire experimental d...

This study investigates the agricultural land abandonment and agricultural land expansion in the case of the Edmonton-Calgary Corridor, Canada. Using remote sensing data from 2000 to 2012, we include environmental and socio-economic factors to explore the drivers of land use conversions between agriculture and natural land. This research also adopts spatial techniques to allow for spatial effec...

the main function of rural areas in the third world is the agricultural function which is crucially important because of its great effects on employment, moderating income and poverty, food security and self-efficacy. this article studies the role of agriculture (as an independent variable) in rural development (related variable) of miyankangi district in sistan. the method of the study was des...

continuous soil quality evaluation in is necessary agricultural regions to sustainable soil management and profitable agricultural production. the objectives of this study were comprised of an evaluation of soil quality utilizing integrated quality index (iqi) along with its spatial distribution in qazvin province. iqi was calculated and its spatial changes analyzed using different interpolatio...

In this paper, the authors combine the methods of probabilistic databases, GIS (Geographical Information Systems) and business process modelling to evaluate the agricultural activities. The authors provide a technique to evaluate the risk of agricultural activities among the hydrological objects (lakes, rivers, etc.) and agricultural plots. The spatial relation is an important information neede...

Agro-ecosystem plays a crucial role in conserving biodiversity, sustaining ecosystem functions and processes, and maintaining land productive capacity. In order to effectively manage agro-ecosystem, the planners and government agencies are increasingly seeking better tools and techniques. In this paper, we describe the development of a Web-based resources and environment information system (FRE...

Internet has been perhaps the most outstanding innovation in the field of communication in the history of mankind. The main purpose of this study was to explore the role of Internet in the professional development of teachers working in agricultural schools in Kermanshah Province (N=35). Census survey was used due to the small size of the statistical population. A questionnaire was developed ba...
