In this paper we estimate the effects of an imperfect insurance coverage on subjective well-being of a poor, rural population, by exploring whether insurance in force improves subjective well-being and whether insurance ...
Effects of seed dressing pesticides on the spread of Faba bean necrotic yellows virus on faba bean and Barley yellow dwarf virus-PAV on barley and oat
The effects of two seed-dressing pesticides in reducing the spread of aphid-transmitted Faba bean necrotic yellows virus (FBNYV, genus Nanovirus, family Nanoviridae) and Barley yellow dwarf virus-PAV (BYDV-PAV, genus ...

around the world in more than 50 countries. The yield gap of chickpea is high due
to abiotic and biotic constraints where Ascochyta blight (Didymella ...
How does the Degree of River Regulation Influence the Impact of Climate Change on Downstream Flow Regimes?
The Australian Murray-Darling Basin (MDB) faces increasing competition between economic and
environmental water use. This occurs against a backdrop of high climate variability. Here we explore
