Abstract:

Eleven maize varieties were evaluated for their on-farm and off-farm agronomic performance in the Teaching and Research Farm of the Department of Crop Production and Landscape Management, Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki, which falls within the humid forest zone of southeastern Nigeria during the 2008 growing season. The eleven varieties comprised six China varieties (26-517/618, Jinghai 5, Normal corn CAU 541, High oil corn CAU 4515, ND160 China Agric University I and ND160 China Agric University II), three IITA/Nigeria hybrid varieties (Oba 98, Obasuper I and Obasuper II), one CRI Ghana va

Abstract:

Understanding the effects of the off-farm employment of rural laborers on agricultural land use is essential to promote farmland transfer and enhance rural development in China. This study aims to investigate the direct impact of off-farm employment on farmland transfer and the mediating role of agricultural production services outsourcing (APSO) by using the Probit and Tobit model approaches. This study uses field survey data of 960 rural households in 12 counties of the four main grain producing provinces of China. Findings of this study show that off-farm employment has a significant positi

Abstract:

Kyrgyz walnut-fruit forests are unique ecosystems inhabited by silvopastoral farm households that depend on forest resources for their livelihoods. Illegal logging, excessive collection of non-timber forest products (NTFPs), and overgrazing of forest pastures negatively affect forest regeneration and biodiversity, ultimately impacting sustainable livelihoods in the region. Understanding farm heterogeneity is critical to identify targeted interventions that have the potential to improve livelihood sustainability for local populations.

SUMMARYMany smallholder farm systems in Uganda produce coffee as an important cash crop. Yet coffee yields are poor. To increase farmers’ production, a range of agronomic practices have been recommended by national and international agencies.

To understand the differences in adoption potential of recommended coffee management practices in Uganda, we provide a typology of farm systems with coffee, assess the diversity between the farm types, and evaluate the current use of existing management recommendations for each fa

Abstract:

Arable farming is an intrinsically risky enterprise. Therefore, managing risks and uncertainties in agriculture is very important as it affects all sectors of the economy of a developing country like Pakistan. To do so, a whole suite of options is available to the farming community to safeguard against any type of risk. However, farmers’ behavior of the concurrent adoption of multiple risk management tools is largely ignored in previous studies and has formed the rationale for this research. Thus, the current study is intended to investigate farmers’ decisions of adopting risk management strat

Relatively few small-scale farmers culture fish, even in Asia, as the gap between the traditional supply — wild fish — and the demand has begun to widen only relatively recently.

A balanced model involving both on-farm and off-farm resources is required to promote aquaculture so that it can fulfil its potential and contribute significantly to people's welfare.

However, phosphorus in the imported food waste creates an excess relative to crop needs.

The different systems they used controlled soil erosion equally and effectively, although grazing of hedgerows by neighbours’ cattle was a problem. The farmers who learned

Abstract:

A linear programming model was used to determine which crop rotations and weed management systems result in the highest net farm income for each of three farm sizes (120, 240, and 480 hectares) under alternative tillage systems. Test plot data for the years 1981 through 1988 from the Purdue University Agronomy Farm, which has highly productive, well-drained soils, were analyzed. Net incomes for no-till tillage systems on all farms in the model were consistently and significantly lower than incomes for moldboard and chisel plow tillage systems due to slightly lower yields and substantially high

Abstract:

AbstractAgronomists have increasingly conducted experiments on-farm, in an attempt to increase the wider applicability (external validity) of their experimental findings and their relevance for agricultural development. This review assesses the way in which on-farm experimental studies address the scope or generalisability of their findings when based on a limited number of farms. A central question is how on-farm studies define the environment or research population in which the on-farm trial findings are valid, or are valuable for. Such an assessment is, of course, conditional on the (intern

Abstract:

Recently, smart farming research based on artificial intelligence (AI) has been widely applied in the field of agriculture to improve crop cultivation and management. Predicting the harvest time (time-to-harvest) of crops is important in smart farming to solve problems such as planning the production schedule of crops and optimizing the yield and quality. This helps farmers plan their labor and resources more efficiently. In this paper, our concern is to predict the time-to-harvest (i.e., survival time) of tomatoes on a smart farm. For this, it is first necessary to develop a deep learning mod
