the main objective of this study was to develop an optimal cropping pattern for sugar beet growers in fasa district (fars province) and to investigate sugar beet importance in cropping pattern. regarding the effect of risk on producer's decision, two risk sources including price and yield were considered. data was obtained from fasa district producers in 2008. in this study multi-objective...

Agriculture resources reflected to be one of the most imperative renewable and dynamic natural resources. Agricultural sustainability has the premier priority in all countries, whether developed or developing. Cropping system analysis is indispensable for grinding the sustainability of agricultural science. Crop alternation is stated as growing one crop after another on the same piece of la...

Time series data on cropping pattern at disaggregated level were analysed and its implications on geospatial drought assessment were demonstrated. An index of Cropping Pattern Dissimilarity (CP-DI) between a pair of years, developed in this study, proved that the cropping pattern of a year has a higher degree of similarity with that of recent past years only and tends to be dissimilar with long...
