Abstract:

A field study was conducted at the Maricopa Agricultural Center to evaluate the effectiveness of selected defoliation treatments on pima cotton. Defoliants were applied in October under relatively warm conditions. Treatments containing Dropp generally resulted in the highest leaf drop percentages (over 90 %). Def 6 treatments were ineffective in defoliating pima cotton.

Abstract:

A field study was conducted at the Maricopa Agricultural Center to evaluate the effectiveness of selected defoliation treatments on Pima cotton under warm and cool weather conditions. Dropp and other defoliants caused desiccation and freezing of leaves when applied at air temperatures above 100° F. Dropp was an effective defoliant when maximum air temperatures were in the low 90s. The experimental defoliant SN 597 NA218 appears to be a promising defoliant for Pima cotton when temperatures are cool.

Abstract:

A field study was conducted at the Maricopa Agricultural Center to evaluate the effectiveness of experimental defoliants and adjuvants on DPL 90cotton. None of the defoliation treatments tested were effective in September when air temperatures were above 100° F. Several chemicals gave 80% or higher defoliation in early October when temperatures were in the low 90s. The experimental defoliant SN 597 NA218 appears to have promise as a late-season defoliant for DPL 90 cotton.

Abstract:

A field study was conducted at the Marana Agicultural Center to evaluate the effectiveness of selected defoliation treatments on Pima cotton under cool weather conditions. Defoliants were slow acting at this location, probably due to cool night temperatures and dry field conditions. The combination Dropp + Def 6 + Accelerate gave good defoliation results 18 days after application. The experimental defoliant SN 597 NA 243 shows promise as a defoliant for Pima when temperatures are cool.

The upstream parts of the agricultural supply chain consists of millions of smallholder farmers who continue to suffer from extreme poverty. The first stream of research in this thesis focuses on online agri-platforms which have been launched to connect geographically isolated markets in many developing countries. This work is in close collaboration with the state government of Karnataka in India which launched the Unified Market Platform (UMP). Leveraging both public data and platform data, a difference-in-differences analysis in Chapter 2 suggests that the implementation of the UMP has significantly increased modal price of certain commodities (5.1%-3.5%), while prices for other commodities have not changed. The analysis provides evidence that logistical challenges, bidding efficiency, market concentration, and price discovery process are important factors explaining the variable impact of UMP on prices.
Based on the insights, Chapter 3 describes the design, analysis and field implementation of a new two-stage auction mechanism. From February to May 2019, commodities worth more than $6 million (USD) had been traded under the new auction. Our empirical analysis suggests that the implementation has yielded a significant 4.7% price increase with an impact on farmer profitability ranging 60%-158%, affecting over 10,000 farmers who traded in the treatment market. The second stream of research work in the thesis turns to consumer welfare and identifies effective policies to tackle structural challenges of food safety and food security that arise in traditional agricultural markets. In Chapter 4, we develop a new modeling framework to investigate how quality uncertainty, supply chain dispersion, and imperfect testing capabilities jointly engender suppliers' adulteration behavior.
The results highlight the limitations of only relying on end-product inspection to deter EMA and advocate a more proactive approach that addresses fundamental structural problems in the supply chain. In Chapter 5, we analyze the issue of artificial shortage, the phenomenon that leads to food security risks where powerful traders strategically withhold inventory of essential commodities to create price surge in the market. The behavioral game-theoretic models developed allow us to examine the effectiveness of common government interventions. The analysis demonstrates the disparate effects of different interventions on artificial shortage; while supply allocation schemes often mitigate shortage, cash subsidy can inadvertently aggravate shortage in the market. Further, using field data from onion markets of India, we structurally estimate that 10% of the total supply is being hoarded by the traders during the lean season.

Abstract:

Field studies were conducted at the Maricopa Agricultural Center to evaluate the effectiveness of selected defoliation treatments on Pima and upland cotton under warm and cool weather conditions. Weather conditions during September tests were warm and dry while in late October tests weather was very cool. Defoliation treatments resulted in a high percentage of leaf desiccation in a test on 10 September. Ginstar and Dropp + Def treatments gave good defoliation of cotton in a 23 September test. In October tests, defoliation treatments were effective on Pima cotton but upland cotton as difficult to defoliate. Ginstar defoliant was generally as effective as the Dropp + Def treatment at the rates tested.

Abstract:

Field studies were conducted at the Maricopa Agricultural Center to evaluate the effectiveness of selected defoliation treatments on Pima and Upland cotton under warm and cool weather conditions. Weather conditions during September and October defoliation tests were warm and dry. Several cool weather tests in November were terminated by an early frost. Dropp used alone was effective as a single application in September tests, but not in October. In October, Dropp used with the adjuvant Sylgard was superior to Dropp with Agridex and resulted in defoliation similar to Dropp combination treatments. An experimental defoliant, SN597 NA300, was as effective as the Dropp+ Def +Accelerate treatment in October tests with botlu Pima and DPL 90 cotton.

Abstract:

Field studies were conducted at the Maricopa Agricultural Center to evaluate the effectiveness of selected defoliation treatments on Pima and upland cotton under warm and cool weather conditions. Air temperatures were high for tests conducted on 16 and 22 September and cool for tests conducted on 14 October. In September tests, Pima cotton was more susceptible to leaf desiccation after applications of defoliants than upland cotton. Single applications of Ginstar or Dropp + Def gave good defoliation in September tests. In October, Pima cotton was effectively defoliated by chemical treatments but a single application of defoliants did not provide acceptable defoliation of upland cotton.

Abstract:

An examination of the weather record for the University of Arizona Maricopa Agricultural Center revealed that short staple cotton yields were negatively affected by cool summers. Cool summers are here defined as June through August months with many days having cooler than average max temperatures for those months. No correlation to yield was found for nighttime temperature; nor was there a detectable effect of higher than average temperature affecting yields.

En línea con la geometría ortogonal de los Incas, y la adaptación al territorio de los Cañaris, este proyecto redefine el límite entre áreas protegidas y productivas. De acuerdo al movimiento del Metabolismo japonés, propongo reinterpretar la ciudad agrícola en Machachi. Un centro de investigación crea un espacio de conocimiento agroecológico, que pretende apoyar los objetivos constitucionales relativos a la soberanía alimentaria. Vivir y producir son procesos complementarios que pueden permitir formar una comunidad autosuficiente, incluyendo el desarrollo gastronómico con productos locales y orgánicos. Los sistemas agrícolas industriales de Ecuador se enfrentan a un descenso productivo. Este centro de investigación, pretende complementar el conocimiento sobre agricultura sostenible y apoyar los sistemas alimentarios alternativos del país. Con base en referencias tecnológicas y conceptuales, pretendo generar espacios que den soporte al desarrollo científico y creativo, trascendiendo las fronteras institucionales; ABSTRACT: Ecuador plays a significant role in nature conservation. In line with the orthogonal geometry of the Incas and the ability to adapt to the terrain as practiced by the Canaris, this project redefines the limit between protected and productive areas. I propose to build on the ideas of the Japanese metabolism movement, in order to reinterpret the agricultural city in Machachi. A research center builds an experimental zone for agroecological knowledge which can support the country’s constitutional aims concerning food sovereignty. Living and producing are complementary processes which can enable a self-sufficient community including gastronomic development with local and organic foods. Ecuador’s industrialized agricultural systems are facing decreasing levels of productivity. This research center is intended to complement the existing knowledge on sustainable agriculture and support Ecuador’s alternative food systems. My purpose, based on technological and conceptual references, is to generate spaces for science and creativity while transcending institutional boundaries; RESUMO: O Equador desempenha um papel significativo na conservação da natureza.

Abstract:

With our ever increasing global population it will be necessary for dense urban environments to develop methods of farming locally. Not only will urban agriculture be beneficial in aiding in the solution of this growing populations need for food production, but it can help to reconnect us to our food and their processes. This dissertation explores the education and reconnection of the public with the food production cycle through the experience of building integrated agriculture, vermiculture and aquaponic systems (cultivating plants and fish symbiotically). Pretoria’s Apies River is an ideal location for the establishment of a research facility of urban ecosystemic food production. The proposed urban agriculture program will allow for hands on research and development of emerging methods and technologies related to farming in the city environment while providing a platform for public education through interaction&inspiration.

Abstract:

Since the 1979 World Conference on Agrarian Reform and Rural Development (WCARRD) and the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment Development, which generated the Agenda 21 document, international agaricultural development organizations have been urged to strengthen their focus toward the sustainable development of the small-scale, resource poor farmer. Although approximately 75% of the worlds' farmers are small-scale, resource poor farmers, generally, they have not been the primarly focus of international agricultural development. This study investigated the small-scale, resource poor farmers' *ongoing level of participation *rate of adoption of agricultural technology, and *sustainable benefits within the documents of eleven key international agricultural development organizations to determine if the farmers can positively impact the forecasted food shortage expected early in the 21st Century. The study utilized methods of multi-document analysis including: Light and Pillemer (1984), meta-ethnography, and qualitative computer software. This study represents the findings indicated in 51 (fifty-one) implemented international agricultural research and extension projects located within 38 (thirty-eight) countries. More than one million small-scale farmers were reported as participants of the projects within this study.

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to design a landscape plan for Teaching Gardens at the Western Kentucky University Agriculture Research and Education Center. The landscape plans were selected based upon the available 5.3 acres surrounding the greenhouse, vineyard, and Exposition Center. Planning included goals and objectives, analysis of the available site, landscape design plans, and connecting the Teaching Gardens to the current curriculum. This thesis also includes related areas to the development of Teaching Gardens such as: summary of courses with related topics to Teaching Gardens, programs that will be used throughout the community, and a listing of current and estimated future costs/expenses plus funding avenues to support this endeavor. The implementation of the Gardens in this thesis has created an area of learning for the Agriculture Department, university, and local community. The Teaching Gardens are an extension of the classroom learning experience, which provide research opportunities, harvest/care information, and promote healthy nutrition. The Teaching Gardens provide a naturally beautiful atmosphere for the enjoyment of students, faculty and staff, and the local community.

Abstract:

Fue posible determinar y diferenciar el comportamiento viscoelástico de los granos evaluados a diferente contenido de humedad, mediante el método de compresión uniaxial a baja deformación
La evaluación de la calidad de los granos cereales se relaciona inicialmente con sus características físicas y químicas, sin embargo, la determinación de sus propiedades viscoelásticas complementa y favorece un proceso de clasificación más selectivo y objetivo. El trigo (Triticum aestivum L.), centeno (Secale cereale L.) y triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack) son tres cereales que tienen una amplia relación entre sí, debido a que el último es el resultado de la cruza de los dos primeros. En este contexto, los objetivos de este estudio fueron evaluar las propiedades físicas y viscoelásticas (determinadas por compresión uniaxial a baja deformación) de granos de trigo, centeno y triticale en función de su contenido de humedad (12% y 16%), así como identificar las posibles correlaciones existentes entre ambos tipos de propiedades. Los resultados indicaron que tanto el contenido de humedad como el tipo de grano tuvieron un efecto altamente significativo sobre la mayoría de las características evaluadas. De manera general, el incremento del contenido de humedad de los granos originó que los valores medios de algunas propiedades físicas (apariencia y geométricas) aumentaran. Por el contrario, los valores medios de las propiedades viscoelásticas y otras físicas (mecánicas), disminuyeron significativamente. Se identificaron diversas correlaciones altamente significativas entre las propiedades físicas y viscoelásticas, destacando entre otras las inversamente proporcionales (negativas) que tuvo el módulo de elasticidad (propiedad viscoelástica) en relación con varias propiedades físicas, así como las registradas entre el diámetro aritmético y el volumen elipsoidal (propiedades físicas), respecto a diversas viscoelásticas.

Full text

Abstract:

Maize (Zea mays L.) ranks third as a food crop after wheat and rice and is characterized not only as a cereal crop but also as a vegetable. Maize used as a vegetable is known as “baby corn”. Baby corn consists of unfertilized young ears harvested 2 or 3 days after silk emergence. The present study was implemented in 2009 at Western Kentucky University Agriculture Research and Education Center (36.93 N, 86.47 E) in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The purpose of the study was to compare the effect of different schemes of harvest on baby corn (BC) yield, grain maize (GM) yield, and estimated economic return. Experimental harvest treatments were 1) no BC harvest, only GM harvest, 2) first harvest as BC, final harvest as GM, 3) first and second harvests as BC, final harvest as GM, and 4) first, second, and third harvests as BC, final harvest as GM. Average estimated BC yields (Kg/ha) for Treatments 2, 3, and 4 were 1445.1, 2681.8, and 3437.5; GM yields (Kg/ha) for Treatments 1, 2, and 3 were 12522.2, 8226.5, and 1380.9; respectively. Since few grain kernels were found after three harvests for BC (Treatment 4), no usable GM yield was produced. BC and GM yields were used for evaluating the economic returns. Results indicated that the sequence of best economic returns would be obtained by harvesting BC three times (Treatment 4), first two harvests for BC and the final for GM (Treatment 3), first harvest for BC and subsequent for GM (Treatment 2), and only for GM harvest (Treatment 1). Although the pattern for only BC harvest was the most profitable system, the human labor requirement and critical timing of harvest limited its production. In states similar to Kentucky, BC could only be grown as an additional crop or to supplant a limited amount of traditional GM hectarage.

The development of cultural creativity industry is one of the main policies of Taiwan. The essence of cultural creativity came from the extension of national cultural assets. Therefore, museum seems to be a good cultural institute. The museum under study is an agricultural reform field of Miaoli district agricultural operation center. Its main purpose is to promote the agricultural development and integrate agriculture with modern life and technology. Therefore, the concept of demonstration space was adopted to show the general public the modern agriculture and display the close relationship between the agriculture and their normal life. And at the same time, it demonstrated the scope and research results of the agriculture reform field, by what to educate the farmers and to serve the professions in the agricultural area. By well designed demonstration and displaying techniques, the agricultural achievements and progress in Taiwan will open wide to the world and it became the motive of this research.

Abstract:

This SSHRC and Pacific Leaders funded thesis summarizes participatory action research conducted in El Salvador between January 2008 and April 2009. This research resulted in a $355,000 proposal to the Canadian International Development Agency for a sustainable agriculture research and education centre in canton Agua Blanca, Morazán, El Salvador. The project is proposed by Canadian NGO, Rainbow of Hope for Children, in partnership with Salvadoran NGO, Fundahmer. Fundahmer owns 9.8 hectares of land in Agua Blanca. The researcher analysed practices at an existing Rainbow agriculture project in Izalco, and identified options for Agua Blanca by defining project goals and objectives, conducting a risk assessment, describing proposed centre activities, quantifying beneficiaries, assessing funding requirements, and developing performance measures. Funding was rejected, citing six sections that required additional information for second submission: sector and regional context, sustainability, gender, beneficiaries, performance measures, and environmental impacts. Seven recommendations are included to move project forward.

Local exchange industry center plays a leading role in the industrial transformation of rural townships. It helps the integration of inner resources and education of people in town. It is also a platform for communication and coordination. Our government hopes that the local industrial inferiority of Gaushu can therefore turn to an advantageous base for local industrial development and the “ Gaushu value” that it creates can spread from north Pingtung to the whole Pingtung County to activate the entire industries. To achieve the goal, Gaushu should combine the strength of local residents, civil organizations and the government to accomplish the vision and challenge of activating rural industries. SWOT is the main analyzing tool of the research. During July 2006 , we used the methods of questionnaires and profound interviews to get 100 valid random samples. It shows that 1. the traveling motives of young ladies between 30 to 39 years old are mostly to satisfy their curiosity and to kill time. They often receive messages from families and friends. Young men between 30 to 39 years old have higher traveling motives, and they would visit Gaushu in order to achieve new information or to experience a different rural life. Besides, male and female between 40 to 49 would visit Gaushu to get mental relaxation, enhance the affections of friends and families and to have fun with their children. 2. most of the tourists would choose to travel with 2 to 8 partners, which will help to have more fun and to relieve the stress of modern lives. According to the result of our researches, the suggestions are as following. 1. One town one feature, local business promotion According to respective local resources, we can choose the most representative agricultural products for promotion. By installing the professional production area, and setting the production goal, local agricultural products can create its special feature. 2. Developing farmer organizations, boosting agricultural enterprise To stabilize the income of agriculture and ensure the lives of farmers, government should work out effective selling projects for farmer organizations and help them to build up their own brand according to local production conditions. 3. Developing multi-approaches, encouraging joint conveyance Power Land of Gaushu should encourage different business to join the strategic union association in order to promote the industrial competitiveness, to contend with imported agricultural products, and even to sell in the international markets. 4.Co-operating with sight-seeing policies, building up recreational agriculture communities By combining the recreational resources of Gaushu and township nearby and setting a agricultural traveling alliance, we can provide tourists with wider choices of scenic spots and series of educational activities. 5. Inventing creative agricultura productions, boosting the participation of people in town Power Land of Gaushu should invent unique cuisines to increase the accessional values of agricultural products, and hold creative cuisine contests regularly to boost the fame of Gaushu and the participation of people in town. 6. Building up self-owned brand, promoting unique agricultural features With the belief of loving our hometown , together we can fulfill the aim of “ one town, one feature”. By promoting our unique culture, agricultural products and different business in town, Gaushu will be able to have a ceaseless development

Abstract:

Caring for the environment has become a global issue, and the role of national parks in preserving species and environments has taken on renewed importance. Many consider that national parks are places to learn and experience nature, and from this experience can come positive conservation behaviour. A dilemma facing park agencies is their capacity to manage the park system with limited resources and funding. A park system that allows human access as well as preservation of biotic communities requires planning and resources. The view that the community may assist with conservation or management of discrete areas was cited in the literature, and assessing the possibility of community involvement is the focus for this study. The research used a case study strategy to examine Human-Environment theory, which refers to the study of humans and their environment. The theory encompasses both the built and natural environment, and the concepts of place attachment and environmental ethics. Although the theory takes in both the built and the natural environment this study did not include the built environment. The study examined the Human Natural World Relationship and conservation behaviour and was placed within an ecosystem management framework. This framework allowed the human-environment interaction to be examined so that human values could be assessed alongside economic, environmental and other values. The study examined the Human Natural World Relationship and conservation activism to establish if the community could contribute to the conservation and management of the national park. The community’s views, values and place attachments were gathered through focus groups, interviews, and the distribution of a self-administered survey to the whole community. The location for the study was Croajingolong National Park and Biosphere Reserve in Gippsland, Victoria. The location was chosen because there was minimal research on the community from the towns of Mallacoota, Cann River and Bemm River, who are the main users of the park. The study found that the identity of the community was deeply connected with the identity of the national park and that several aspects related to the town and the national park affected the community. This has implications for management to ensure that the status of the national park as well of the town of Mallacoota is protected so that the unique identity of the community and the bond they have to the park is preserved. A suggestion by one participant, who expressed the sentiment of many in the community, was that the town should be zoned as a park town has much merit. The study also found that the majority in the community held ecocentric views and were suited to involvement in conservation and management of the national park. Management can use the results of this study to inform strategies for policy and decisions making that take into account the views and values of the community in the validation of park classification, governance, funding, marketing, conflict resolution and communication with the community

Abstract:

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
The landscape of James A. Garfield’s Mentor, Ohio home (now preserved at James A. Garfield National Historic Site) contains multiple layers of historical meanings and values. The landscape as portrayed in political biographies, political cartoons, and other ephemera during Garfield’s 1880 presidential campaign reveals the existence of the dual cultural values of agrarian tradition and agricultural progress in the late nineteenth century. Although Garfield did not depend on farming exclusively for his livelihood, he, like many agriculturalists of this era participated in a process of mediation between these dual values. The function of the landscape of Garfield’s farm between 1876 and 1880 is a reflection of this process of mediation. After President Garfield’s assassination in 1881, his wife and children returned to their Mentor home. Between 1885 and c. 1905, Garfield’s widow Lucretia made numerous changes to the agricultural landscape, facilitating the evolution of the home from farm to country estate. Despite the rich history of this landscape, its cultural complexity and evolution over time makes it difficult to interpret for public audiences. Additionally, the landscape is currently interpreted exclusively through indoor museum exhibits and outdoor wayside panels, two formats with severe limitations. I propose the integration of deep mapping into interpretation at James A. Garfield National historic site in order to more effectively represent the multi-layered qualities of its historic landscape.
