In 2004, the second season of research, the results of the propagation research yielded a more reliable and abundant crop.

Assessing sensitivity of agricultural crop varieties.

Recent increases in non-renewable energy costs, however, may mean farmers will consider alternative crop production systems that require fewer energy inputs, such as forage-based rotations94.

In spite of its shortcomings, there exist few viable alternatives to annual crop production in general, and grain production in particular.

The use of a biofuel crop within an integrated system adds not only to farm diversity but also is of great importance to the rural community.

Clearly, rains did not intend to produce a bumper crop for the farmer's benefit.

The preface is very readable and sets the scene defining the importance of cocoa as a commercial crop and the author's interests and research.

Some of the adjustments to farming necessary during this transition period are in the tools that are used for organic versus conventional crop production.

An example of biological residue-mediated effects includes cover crop residues providing a habitat for seed predators or decay agents57.

The production climatic environment is mostly optimal, and total crop failure has not been reported so far.

This suggests that organic crop farmers in our sample have a greater interest in departing from the conventional agribusiness-dominated input and marketing system.

Growers seemed less enthused about other potential sources of economic aid such as crop insurance programs.

However, the knowledge of the life cycle of aphids is essential in crop protection.

As shown in table 2, if this additional crop residue were used by the household, it would replace 0.7 tons of carbon.

The authors suggest a variety of remedies-ranging from crop substitution to population control-for the problem of unsustainable cultivation practices.

The soil fertility values provided a concise and effective method for including many soil and land characteristics related to crop yield.

According to (4), smallholders can manipulate erosion rates by changing the cultivated crop, or by influencing yields via the control variable in the optimisation problem, nutrient inputs through fertilisers.

Although the current crop may not benefit from these fractions, they could be available for subsequent crops.

This regulation would permit short rotation coppice to be grown as an energy crop on set-aside land.

There exists an entire crop of names designating one type or another of these common, more or less solicited gifts.

Since then, it has revived to a limited extent as a local food crop, but the main pulse is cowpeas.

These programs need to be crafted to enable the long-term nature of perennial forage crop research to compete successfully.

This can be a growing crop or dead mulch.

We are including hedge layering and classifying peas for vining as a horticultural crop.

Annual water-use totals averaged about 850 mm use for an unirrigated crop and 940 mm for an irrigated crop (825+1050 mm).

Farmers reported that the need to thresh soybean at the homestead made it a more difficult legume crop to bury.

Thus, corn is the main crop for which the rotation effect is an issue.

Since rice is a major crop, this uncertainty may be important.

Avoiding potential pitfalls will assist us as we develop new knowledge and understanding and incorporate these concepts into new or modified crop simulation models.

Such risks are not unique to bioengineered crops and should, in actual fact, be considered for many new crop varieties produced by conventional means.

Since saffron is a perennial crop, this study will be extended to get more reliable longterm data.

These may have a place in this study region, either as late planted crops or as a risk reduction strategy in case of ineffective spring rains.

All she lacked was a riding crop.

The organic specialty crop producers had far less experience with federally subsidized crop insurance, which has only recently been offered to this type of producer, conventional or organic.

Yield in spring is higher than in autumn because the spring crop cycle is longer and radiation received by spinach is a third higher than in autumn.

Among the most significant reforms were massive exchange rate devaluation and decontrol of food marketing and pricing, particularly for rice, the staple crop.

The obvious thing to do is to consult the experts and see that the surplus crop is made available to the public.

As a result of such changes, traditional crop varieties may no longer be adapted to growing conditions.

While some argue the current transgenic crop innovations are just the next step in a long history of plant and animal breeding, others strongly disagree.

The text aims at reviewing the contemporary methods used to assess patterns of genetic diversity, as well as reviewing actual patterns of diversity within various exemplar tropical crop plants.

A less valuable crop and higher poison cost make shorter duration of the control and, hence, living with more rats and nuisance relatively more profitable.
