Crop yields are dependent on a number of factors such as soil type, weather conditions and farming practices. Crop yield estimates in different soil types are required to meet the needs of farmers, land appraisers, and governmental agencies in Iran as around the world. This study was conducted to model the wheat-grain yields [Triticum aestivum L.]  by soil properties in Khoy area, the north-w...

Plant scientists are now aware that mechanical stresses, such as touching, bending and treading, affect the growth and development of trees and grasses, including crops (Jaffe, 1973; Mitchell and Myers, 1995; Telewski, 2006). However, Japanese farmers have known for centuries of the efficacy of applying a mechanical stress—treading, trampling, or stamping—to the seedlings of autumn-sown wheat a...

INTRODUCTION Wheat farmers in Virginia and southeastern US could benefit greatly from the availability of a shortduration summer crop that could be produced during the period between wheat harvest in middle of June and before planting of the next wheat crop during October. Some wheat farmers plant soybean as a double crop system, but the productivity of double-cropped soybean is extremely low a...

and a dry, dusty climate where frequent air inversions can cause smoke to linger for days. While McCarthy admits he cannot prove that any particular patient has been injured by the smoke, he says his medical experience is persuasive. For example, he says, patients who travel during the burning season tell him, "As soon as I get out of Spokane, I feel better, and as soon as I get back, I feel wo...

despite considerable effort in developing climate information and demonstrating the potential benefits available to farmers, use of the climate information by farmers in farming decisions has not changed. the present research employed the theory of planned behaviour (tpb) as a theoretical framework to analyze the antecedents of agricultural climate information use behaviour. fars province wheat...
