Quantification of Land Degradation and Productivity of Agro-Ecosystems under Changing Climate and Land Use
Agro-ecosystems in dry areas are sensitive to changes in climate
and land use. The productivities of these agro-ecosystems are
highly variable in both spatial and temporal scales. Accurate and
up-to-date information on ...
Land Tenure, climate change and livestock mobility in Central and Southern Asian Grasslands
the conference paper describes the current effects of climate change on Central and Southern Asia Grasslands, present status of tenure and livestock mobility and explores the future effects of CC and potential mitigation ...
Faba bean and wheat productivity in an alley cropping system basis on olive tree
Faba bean production systems in Morocco are very divers according to
agro- ecological diversity and farmer’s practices. Under agroforestry system basis on
olive tree, faba bean have not negative impact on olive tree ...
Modeling Farmers’ Adoption Decisions of Multiple Crop Technologies: The Case of Barley and Potatoes in Ethiopia
This paper argues and provides empirical evidence that adoption decisions on multiple technologies involve a series of three sequential sub-decisions. Using a multivariate tobit and multivariate probit models and a nationally ...
Screening of groundnut interspecific derivatives for resistance to Sclerotium rolfsii
Sclerotium rolfsii is a major constraint for production in most of the groundnut growing areas in India
inflicting 28-30 per cent yield losses annually. Irrigated groundnut grown in the post-rainy and summer
seasons in ...
Yield loss Modeling for late Leafspot and Rust in Groundnut
Late leaf spot and rust diseases occur together and cause considerable yield loss in groundnut.
Cultivation of resistant varieties is the best strategy to stabilize productivity under disease epidemics.
Several varieties ...
Pastoral Land Use and Grazing Measurement through Remotely Sensed Data
About 60 percent of the world's pasture land (about 2.2 million sq km), just less than half the world's usable surface is covered by grazing systems. These are distributed between arid, semi arid and sub humid, humid, ...
Are Farmer-Based Seed Enterprises Profitable and Sustainable? Experiences of VBSEs from Afghanistan
Farmers are the main producers and users of seed for the millennia. Empirical evidence shows ample
experiences of farmers’ knowledge of on-farm seed management practices such as plant and/or
seed selection, cleaning, ...
Dynamic Modelling of Energy Transitions Using a Coupled Modelling-Narrative Approach
Energy transitions are a matter of competitions between multiple emerging systems and a
dominant, established system. Understanding the complex dynamics of these interactions can assist betterinformed
decision making and ...
