A testing of four modeling methods across 18 species with different levels of ecological specialization using six different sample size treatments and three different evaluation measures revealed that MAXENT was the most capable of the four modeling methods in producing useful results with sample sizes as small as 5, 10and 25 occurrences. MAXENT also predicted the largest area …

Some farmers feel inadequate and unqualified to become members of organizations
Lake Sebu’s Municipal Agriculturist claimed that the Department of Agriculture provides farm inputs , farm equipment , farming seminars and trainings, and livelihood programs. These interventions are provided through farmers’ organizations. Free seedlings and fertilizers from the government are distributed by recognized farm organizations to their members. Farm equipment and implements such as thresher and corns heller, on the other hand, …

SPAD values were greatly reduced by weed interference and this was reflected in yield performance
Both at 60 and 75 DAS, Agrodhan-14 was the tallest cultivar which was followed by BRRI hybrid dhan3, and BRRI dhan28 was the shortest one which was at par with BRRI dhan59 and BRRI dhan50. At harvest, plant height ranged from 74.4 to 91.97 cm. Agrodhan-14 appeared as the tallest variety which was at par …
These sections were selected based on the dominant practice of upland rice farming
Also,nutrients are taken up from deeper layers by roots of trees and shrubs and returned to the top soil via litter fall and root senescence.Restoration of soil fertility by this means requires several years of fallow and has become inadequate in the face of increasing populations and food demand as well as competing alternative land …
The approach is no more than an attempt to main-tain the status quo and allow unsustainable systems to persist
The task was developed based on a framework of adaptation typology by Pelling which provides a sound analytical framework to analyse and understand key characteristics of adaptation options. The study has shown that smallholders in the Borana farming systems adopted a wide range of adaptation measures and tried to remain flexible to overcome what they …
IA will assure high water productivity in agricultural production system
If so, one may ask why almost all of the populations in the world turned agricultural within such a short time period , in fact, almost simultaneously? And if the botanical and agro-technical understanding have already existed, why was it suddenly manifested in the form of agriculture throughout the world? It seems that the answer …

A water supply is necessary to make up for water lost through evaporation and blowout
The Pilbara region Western Australia is a fast area within itself with many possible locations that could be considered as having potential for a viable microalgaebiomass cultivation plant. There is also access to an unlimited source of water, and Western Australia is one of the sunniest places in the world. Many extensive studies of the …
Simetar simulates a probability distribution of NPV based on the distributions of yield and price
The remainder of the paper is organised as follows: The next two sections describe the applied methodology and data sources that are used in the study. Finally, the paper concludes with a summary of the main findings, a discussion regarding the investment strategies of Greek organic cherry farmers and critical suggestions for agricultural policy planners. …
The relationship holds true even when adjusting for race and type of area
The inclusion of these variables allows us to control for both the level and the direction of net worth and profit. Apparently, there is a large degree of overlap between the operational and financial risks of a firm being captured by some of these variables. “The world food order is increasingly fragile, supplemented by ad …
