The overuse of agricultural chemicals such as fertilizer and pesticides aimed at increasing crop yield results in environmental damage, particularly in the Sahelian zone where soils are fragile. Crop inoculation with beneficial soil microbes appears as a good alternative for reducing agricultural chemical needs, especially for small farmers. This, however, requires selecting optimal combination...

The present study was carried out in Rajasthan state as a whole aiming to acreage response analysis. Nerlovian function employed the time series data of major food grain crops from 1997-98 2020-21. It is concluded that wheat, paddy, bajra, and gram were mainly controlled by gross cropped area current year (t), while price last (t-1) also appeared be key determination allocation In case if irrig...

this study is aimed at evaluating and measuring the factors affecting the dezful wheat farmers` attitude toward the extension of wheat waste reduction. the method of research was correlative- descriptive. the population of this study is all farmers cultivated wheat in dezful from 2011 to 2012 (n=5291). the number of samples size was 360 based on krejcie and morgan table. panel of experts and al...

the main objective followed in this study was to assess the rate of adoption of sustainable agricultural practices among extension volunteers in qazvin province. the study was a descriptive – correlational survey one. the population of the study was comprised of wheat farmers in province of qazvin who acted as agricultural extension volunteers (n=365). from among these members, 185 were selecte...

ASSESSING TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY OF WHEAT FARMERS IN PAKISTAN: A COMPARISON TO PRIOR PRODUCTIVITY ANALYSES OF PAKISTANI AGRICULTURE

drought stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses which can affect the growth of a plant, thereby curbing crop yield. identification of effective morphological traits is the main aim of each breeding program. our objective was to identify agronomic traits associated with changes in grain yield of wheat under irrigated and drought conditions. to address this objective, grain yield and...

An improved genetic algorithm was applied and examined to optimize the weights of a neural network model for estimating root length density (RLD) distributions of winter wheat under salinity stress. Thereafter, soil water and solute transport with root-water-uptake in a soil-wheat system were simulated numerically, in which the estimated RLD distributions were incorporated. The results showed t...

. introduction east azerbaijan province is one of disaster-prone provinces of the country and each year the occurrence of potential risks of atmospheric phenomena is not unexpected. however, the lack of sufficient information and knowledge of farmers in the field of risk management strategies in agricultural production process has multiplied the losses incurred to farmers. thus, the existence o...
