In this paper, the value of exchange rate was calculated in order to determine comparative advantage in crops of Sari Township during 2009-2010. Hence, first, comparative advantage indices are estimated by using a policy analysis matrix. The results showed that just wheat has a DRC index of one in the minimum amount of national currency exchange rate value. This indicated the fact that only whe...

The growth of transgenic canola (Brassica napus) expressing a gene for the enzyme 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase was compared to non-transformed canola exposed to flooding and elevated soil Ni concentration, in situ. In addition, the ability of the plant growth-promoting bacterium Pseudomonas putida UW4, which also expresses ACC deaminase, to facilitate the growth of non-tran...

crop rotation affect on crop nitrogen uptake and nitrogen use efficiency (nue). crop rotations with high nue decrease energy use and increase level of sustainability in agro ecosystems. the objectives of this research were to determine the suitable double cropping system for enhancing nue and evaluate the effects of crop rotation, n fertilizer rate and return of crop residue on nue. this study ...

The agroecosystem without external energy supply can provide compensation for the needs of in liquid fuel, heat and electricity at expense plant biomass as a renewable source. Based on analysis balance agroecosystem, area under rapeseed needed biodiesel production crops bioethanol were calculated well additional quantities straw to compensate loss humus crop rotation, which sets amount that be ...

Field pea (Pisum sativum), canola (Brassica napus), turnips (Brassica rapa) and Berseem clover (Trifolium alexandrinum) were grown in north central Alberta to assess their potential yield and quality and to evaluate their utilization and preference by white-tailed deer. Herbage DM yield, crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), absolute and relative herbage utilization, and dietary pr...

Diversified crop rotation is an option for expanding producer incomes, and its adoption has presented a series of agronomic advantages compared to less diversified systems. In this context, the objective study was verify if higher-diversified systems perform economically better than low-diversified ones. To end, we conducted experiment in no-tillage areas Londrina, south Brazil, years 2014/15 2...

Crop production process utilizes input energy and produces some biomass energy as output.  During this process, greenhouse gases (GHGs) are also emitted which can make environmental risks. In this study, input and output energies, energy indices, and GHG emissions arising from inputs were estimated for wheat-cotton rotation under different tillage practices in Fars province. The study was condu...
