PROBLEM Irrigated agriculture exposes rural people to health risks associated with vector-borne diseases and pesticides used in agriculture and for public health protection. Most developing countries lack collaboration between the agricultural and health sectors to jointly address these problems. APPROACH We present an evaluation of a project that uses the "farmer field school" method to teac...

In this study we investigated the perspective offered by coupling a simple vegetation growth model and ground-based remotely-sensed data for the monitoring of wheat production. A simple model was developed to simulate the time courses of green leaf area index (GLAI), dry aboveground phytomass (DAM) and grain yield (GY). A comprehensive sensitivity analysis has allowed addressing the problem of ...

conservation tillage, a fast growing practice in iran, is considered as a means to achieve sustainability in agricultural systems. this study was carried out to determine the effect of tillage systems (no-tillage, minimum tillage and conventional tillage ) on yield and yield components of three irrigated wheat varieties. the field experiment was conducted at the experimental station of the univ...

Effective nitrogen (N) management practices are critical to sustain crop production and minimize nitrate (NO3−) leaching loss from irrigated fields in the Columbia Basin (U.S.), but studies on applied limited. Therefore, 2014 2016, two separate field were conducted sandy loam soils region evaluate performance of various N fertilizers spring winter wheat. The treatments consisted nitrification i...

in this study, the comparative advantage of main agricultural products and its relation to cropping pattern was studied in ilam province. for data analyzing the comparative advantage and government policies effects indices, policy analysis matrix (pam) were used. the obtained results for the comparative advantage indices of domestic resource cost (drc), social cost benefit (scb) and net social ...

There is an urgent need for identification of eco-friendly and cleaner production systems that are more productive, profitable, efficiently use energy/water/carbon input environmentally safer. Under context, a long-term experiment was conducted during 2019–21 at the farmers’ fields Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Gaya, Bihar. The main objective study to evaluate productivity diverse cropping irriga...

wheat is one of the important food staff in consumption pattern of each country. more than 50 % of human energy is supplied from bread in the developing country. combine losses is less than 2-3% in developed countries, while in developing country is about 15-20% in different regions and circumstances of harvesting seasons and field conditions. in this research project that effect of combine typ...
