application of appropriate agricultural operations is a strategy to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural productions process. in this study, fuel consumption and greenhouse gases emissions values for each farm operation was evaluated in gorgan and ali-abad katol to soybean product. all activities and production processes about operations were monitored and re...

• The average annual economic loss due to OJD infection on farms was $7.68 per DSE or $65.92 per hectare. These figures represent the cost of premature sheep deaths, and lost wool and lamb production. There was substantial variation between farms, with some properties losing as much as $244.80 per hectare. Losses due to trading restrictions and variable input costs have not been included in the...

The paper tackles the problem of making direct payments in the EU countries more equal. Two sets of indices and their evolution are being presented: payment rates per product and per hectare of eligible area. The need of redistribution of direct payments is being stressed, followed by the discussion on different scenarios of distribution among Member States. The model finally accepted by the EU...

Biochar may contribute to both agricultural productivity and atmospheric carbon dioxide removal. However, despite the many potential upsides of adding biochar amend carbon-depleted soils in sub-Saharan Africa, deployment is largely lacking. This paper explores socio-economic factors that can explain tendencies avoid action. Based on a survey 172 farming households, key informant interviews, foc...

This paper examines the possible impact of climate change on Malaysian rice production. Using the Ricardian Method and farm household data, we have examined the effects on rice producers focusing on sharecropper adaptations and ecological causes. The principle goal of this research paper is to investigate the impact of climate variables such as temperature, rainfall and precipitation on rice pr...

Optimum seeding rate and row spacing are important for uniform crop establishment harvest of quality seed. Field experiment was conducted at three locations in 2014 2015 to study the influence seed on multiplication factor yield durum wheat. Triplicate split plot design used. The highest found a 125 kg ha−1 with 10 cm but not significant rates 100 spacing, 75 20 2014, 150 Debre Zeit. At Chefe D...

The carbon sink capacity of the world's agricultural and degraded soils is 50 to 66% of the historic carbon loss of 42 to 78 gigatons of carbon. The rate of soil organic carbon sequestration with adoption of recommended technologies depends on soil texture and structure, rainfall, temperature, farming system, and soil management. Strategies to increase the soil carbon pool include soil restorat...
