This study aims to develop optimal crop plans for farmers in Punjab who adopt climate-resilient technologies. In the macro perspective, plan envisages that 7.02 lakh hectares should be under paddy Rice Varieties (PR VAR) and 4.44 direct seeded rice. Raising acreage of maize by 24% will save 3.42 billion cubic metre water. Strengthening linkages between research, extension, insurance, institutio...

Accordingly to the Arkansas Nematode Diagnostic Clinic 00 (Cooperative Extension Service, 00 ) the reniform nematode (Rotylenchulus reniformis Lindford and oliveira) (RN) is present in twelve counties in the state where most of the cotton (G. hirsutum) is cultivated. In fields infested with RN, yield losses are estimated at 340 to kg/ha (Robinson, 001). The RN is expected to become an even grea...

Brinjal eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is an agronomically important nontuberous crop of Solanaceae family, native to southern India, and widely grown in Americas, Europe and Asia. Its close relatives: S. aethiopicum (scarlet eggplant) and S. macrocarpon (Gboma eggplant) are of African origin. Brinjal eggplant is a new vegetable in Poland. Until recently it was grown only in glasshouse conditi...

Reducing the percentage of Americans who are either overweight or obese to meet public health objectives may influence agricultural production+ The authors’ results show that reducing aggregate consumption by 6% to meet public health objectives with no increase in overall physical activity could reduce production of agricultural commodities and reduce net returns to producers by $3+5 billion+ H...

This paper reviews an analysis of land use change impacts of expanded biofuel production with GTAP-BIO computable general equilibrium (CGE) model. It describes the treatment of energy substitution, the role of biofuel by-products, specification of bilateral trade, the determination of land cover changes in response to increased biofuel feedstock production, and changes in crop yields – both at ...

Multitemporal Landsat7-ETM+ imagery and supplementary field survey data were used to establish a crop and land use map for an area of ±20 000 km2 of Sanjiang Plain in China’s north-eastern province Heilongjiang. The “field-based” map is based on data of the year 2002 and is created by combining the results of a supervised Maximum Likelihood classification with the estimated field boundaries ext...

This study compares the impact of Prospective Plantings, Acreage, Crop Production, Production Annual Summary, Grain Stocks, WASDE, Cattle on Feed, and Hogs Pigs reports corn, soybean, wheat, cotton, live cattle, lean hogs markets over 1985–2018. Simultaneous releases several are handled by evaluating report clusters. Our approach allows us to demonstrate relative various information shows when ...

The Agricultural Market Transition Act (AMTA) title of the 1996 FAIR Act is a novel departure in farm policy. Its fixed payments, no acreage set-asides, and avoidance of CCC commodity stockpiles provide a possible means of transition to a market-based agriculture that would not require governmental intervention to prop up the agricultural economy. Some now argue that the FAIR Act has failed, on...
