sustainable range management needs the accurate estimation yield and determining of grazing capacity in rangelands. it is easy to obtain yield estimation with indirect methods. for this purpose, the relation between cover and forage yield of range species were studied in steppic rangelands of yazd. measurements of cover and forage yield were carried out with plot area and clipping and weighting...

the effects of soil tillage methods and residue management were studied at miandoab agriculure station during 2003-2005. the experiment design was split block with the main plots devoted to residual management strategies (burning residue, crushing residue by disk, no treatment). subplots were tillage methods (moldboard plowing to 20-25 cm in fall, moldboard plowing to 20-25 cm in spring, moldbo...

Understanding the time-course of dry matter (DM) and nitrogen (N) accumulation in terms of yield-trait relationships is essential to simultaneously increase grain yield and synchronize N demand and N supply. We collected 413 data points from 11 field experiments to address patterns of DM and N accumulation with time in relation to grain yield and management of winter wheat in China. Detailed gr...

We measured growth and development variables on single soybean [Glycin max (L.) Merr.] plants under five management strategies in the upper Midwestern USA. Plants grown under different management strategies differed significantly in their geometric structures, and were classified into their proper categories with 75 to 100% correct classification, based mainly on differences in their fractal di...

irrigation with saline water needs to the different managements to reduce the harmful effects of salinity on plants, soil and the environment. simulation models are the useful tool to irrigation management in conditions of soil and water salinity because, they can predict crop yield and soil conditions considering to different climate, plant and management practices. in this study, the saltmed ...

A timely and accurate crop yield forecast is crucial to make better decisions on crop management, marketing, and storage by assessing ahead and implementing based on expected crop performance. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential of high-resolution satellite imagery data collected at mid-growing season for identification of within-field variability and to forecast corn y...

in urmia county, irrigated wheat yield varies in different regions. the highest and lowest yields are attributed to nazloo region (6.58 tons per hectare) and the lowest yield was for silvana region ( 2.77 tons per hectare) respectively. so, the purpose of this study is analysis of management factors impact on irrigated wheat yield in nazloo and silvana regions of urmia county. to this end, by q...

Marine reserves have been proposed as a remedy for overfishing and declining marine biodiversity, but concern that reserves would inherently reduce yields has impeded their implementation. It was found that management of fisheries through reserves and management through effort control produce identical yields under a reasonable set of simplifying assumptions corresponding to a broad range of bi...

We formulate and analyze a Markov decision process (dynamic programming) model for airline seat allocation (yield management) on a single-leg flight with multiple fare classes. Unlike previous models, we allow cancellation, no-shows, and overbooking. Additionally, we make no assumptions on the arrival patterns for the various fare classes. Our model is also applicable to other problems of reven...
