Data Farming, network applications and approaches to integrate network analysis and processes to the data farming paradigm are presented as approaches to address complex system questions. Data Farming is a quantified approach that examines questions in large possibility spaces using modeling and simulation. It evaluates whole landscapes of outcomes to draw insights from outcome distributions an...

Organic farming which experienced a constant rise over the last two decades is a system based on sustainability and on a concept tending towards functional integrity. Legislation as well as the wish to produce separately from conventional farming raise the question whether organic farming should be conducted completely apart from conventional farming or not. This paper discusses the aspects tha...

production, reproduction, management and economic parameters resulted from recordings of 5 flocks comprised of 720 heads of native goats during annual cycle of reproduction in transhumance, village and farming systems were employed to determine the performance of traits, cost-profit analysis as well as breeding objective. the overall mean for number of salable kid per goat in transhumance, vill...

Organic farming system and sustainable management of soil pathogens aim at reducing the use of agricultural chemicals in order to improve ecosystem health. Despite the essential role of microbial communities in agro-ecosystems, we still have limited understanding of the complex response of microbial diversity and composition to organic and conventional farming systems and to alternative methods...

Agriculture, by its intentional design, manipulates the ecological functions of soils. It does so altering carbon and nutrient inputs; controlling plant community; in case tillage, physically disrupting redistributing soil within profile. While there are many studies that contrast microbiomes across farming systems, few have examined effect system on vertical organization taxa We hypothesized l...

Crop management systems influence plant productivity and nutrient use efficiency, as well as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), which are known to influence the growth of plants via phytohormone production, phosphate solubilization, nitrogen (N) fixation and antimicrobial activity. The objective of this study was to compare the influence of two crop management system on microbial PGPR...

The present study was carried out in Kanchipuram district of the Tamil Nadu. Paddy is main cereal crop raised 47,739 ha cultivated area followed by groundnut and pulses. Farmers following conventional natural farming are purposively selected 120 numbers to cultivate 436.56 among that data gathered from their respective fields. aim this analyze whether system economically better with sufficient ...
