A model of the Iranian wheat market is specified and fitted to data from 1981-2008. Severaldiagnostic tests were employed in the analysis to determine the specification of the model. Despitethe simplicity of the model and data problems, an examination of the econometric model leads toseveral conclusions with possible important policy implications for the wheat economy in Iran.The general result...

Wheat is the main food for the majority of Iran's population. Precise estimation of wheat yield change in future is essential for any possible revision of management strategies. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of climate change, CO2 concentration, technology development and their integrated effects on wheat production under future climate change. This study was perf...

World wheat production is now under threat due to the wheat blast outbreak in Bangladesh in early March 2016. This is a new disease in this area, indicating the higher possibility of this pathogen spreading throughout the Asia, the world's largest wheat producing area. Occurrence of this disease caused ~3.5% reduction of the total wheat fields in Bangladesh. Its economic effect on the Banglades...

To meet the growing food demand of Bangladesh requires efficiently use of inputs and effectively manage of production practices at the farm level. Thus, the present study aims to measure the technical efficiency and establish core factors affecting boro and aman rice production in Bangladesh. The study employed mainly farm level data collected from 80 farm households selected randomly in Dinajp...

the poor performance of fishery subsector is most clearly evidenced by low adoption of fishery production technologies by farmers. the purpose of this research was analyzing influence of socio-economic factors on the adoption of fish production technologies by community-based farmers in cross river state, nigeria. a multistage random sampling technique was used in selecting 60 community-based f...

An experiment was conducted using 336 White Leghorn hens (60 wk of age) randomly assigned to one of four treatments that consisted of feed removal for 4 or 10 d or no feed removal with ad libitum access to 95% corn or 95% wheat middlings molt diets that contained supplemental minerals and vitamins. At the end of the 4- or 10-d feed removal period, hens on these treatments were provided with the...

Production functions to explain regional wheat yields have not been studied extensively in the Canadian prairies. The objective of this study is to employ a Just-Pope production function to examine the relationship between fertilizer inputs, soil quality, biodiversity indicators, cultivars qualifying for Plant Breeders’ Rights (PBR), and climatic conditions on the mean and variance of spring wh...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) leaf rust is the most common and widely distributed wheat disease. Non-destructive real-time methods for monitoring can help prevent control plant diseases in agricultural production. In this study, we obtained multispectral imagery of canopy acquired by an unmanned aerial vehicle, selected vegetation index using K-means algorithm (KA) genetic (GA), established a mo...

this paper is concerned with the estimation of frontier production function to measure the technical efficiency for iranian textile companies during 1995. the objective of this estimation is to investigate if there are any differences in the technical efficiency between the private and public firms as well as the relationship between technical efficiency and size of textile companies in iran. a...
