RESUME The paper presents the results of land cover and crops identification achieved on the basis of the time series of 27 ENVISAT -1/ ASAR images acquired in Image Mode and Alternating Polarization Mode during the 2003 observing campaign for Malbork test site in northern Poland. The results are compared with those obtained from SPOT -4 multitemporal data. High degree of their similarity has b...
Abiotically stressful environment in changing climate is predicted to impact negatively the diversity and abundance of insect-pests; and ultimately the extent of damage caused in economically important agricultural crops. This may affect perilously the agricultural production and the livelihood of farmers especially in tropical and subtropical countries where larger proportion of work force is ...
Host-plant resistance is an efficient, economical and environmentally benign approach used to manage many pests and diseases of agricultural crops. After nearly a century of research, the resources and tools have become more refined, but the basic tasks in breeding for resistance have not changed. Resistance must be identified, incorporated into elite germplasm, and deployed in a form useful to...
INTRODUCTION The rapid pace of discovery in the lifesciences can have profound implications for public health, and the focus of much deliberation in recent years has been on how best to ensure that they are positive and not negative. A key focus of debate has been on dual-use research of concern (DURC), which has been defined as life-science research that “could be directly misapplied to pose a...
The Chinese Seed Systems Project started in January 2000 in Southwest China. It is co-funded by IDRC (International Development Research Centre, Canada) and Ford Foundation, and is carried out by the Centre for Chinese Agricultural Policy (CCAP) of the China Academy of Science (CAS), in collaboration with the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre (CIMMYT) and with academic supervisio...
U.S. salmonellosis outbreaks have occurred following consumption of tomato and cantaloupe but not lettuce. We report differential contamination among agricultural seedlings by Salmonella enterica via soil. Members of the family Brassicaceae had a higher incidence of outbreak than carrot, lettuce, and tomato. Once they were contaminated, phyllosphere populations were similar, except for tomato. ...
Regional planning should consider the impact of agricultural crops on housing value and leisure, as well as on the local environment. We designed an optimization model for allocating agricultural crops based on farmers profits as well as the impact on these three factors. Each crop creates a different landscape, as well as a different effect on shading and noise reduction. These in turn influen...
BACKGROUND Approximately 75% of pesticide usage in the United States occurs in agriculture. As such, agricultural workers are at greater risk of pesticide exposure than non-agricultural workers. However, the magnitude, characteristics and trend of acute pesticide poisoning among agricultural workers are unknown. METHODS We identified acute pesticide poisoning cases in agricultural workers bet...
Allelopathic potential of aqueous extracts of lantana (Lantana camara L.) leaf on germination and growth of three agricultural crops: Maize, Finger millet and Tef, commonly cultivated in Ethiopia were studied under laboratory condition. The aqueous extracts were assayed at 5, 10, 25, 50 and 75% and their allelopathic effects were compared with distilled water (control). All the aqueous extracts...
An Expert System is a system that employs human knowledge captured in a computer to solve problems that ordinarily require human expertise. In agriculture, expert systems unite the accumulated expertise of individual disciplines, such as plant pathology, entomology, horticulture and agricultural meteorology and Animal Sciences; into a framework that best addresses the specific, on-site needs of...
