Oat-an alternative crop under waterlogging stress? [PDF]
Front Plant SciIntroductionWaterlogging is one vast environmental constraint that limits crop growth and yield worldwide. Most major crop species are very sensitive to waterlogging, leading to enormous yield losses every year. Much is already known about wheat, barley or maize; however, hardly any data exist on oat and its tolerance against waterlogging.

Alternative Crop Insurance Indexes [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 2008 Three index-based crop insurance contracts are evaluated for representative south Georgia corn farms. The insurance contracts considered are based on indexes of historical county yields, yields predicted from a cooling degree-day production model, and yields predicted from a crop-simulation model.

Cultivation of alternative crops as energy crops [PDF]
, 2022 Several winter and spring alternative crops are grown in our country. Similar to the yield of staple field crops, the yield of minor cultivated crops is affected by complex climate-soil interactions, abiotic and biotic stress and cultivation technology.

METHYL BROMIDE ALTERNATIVES ON HORTICULTURAL CROPS
Acta Horticulturae, 2000 [EN] A very intensive crop rotation, with three to four crops per year, typical in Valencia, frequently includes the earth almond Cyperus sculentus (Xufa) that acts as a real weed for the next crop. Methyl bromide (MB) is the preferred fumigant to control both diseases and weeds in this kind of rotation.

Crop Insurance Savings Accounts: A Viable Alternative to Crop Insurance? [PDF]
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, 2014 AbstractThis research explores the viability of an alternative design for crop insurance based upon farmer‐owned savings accounts that are regulated, monitored, and marginally assisted by the government. Such accounts could be an effective risk management tool for many farmers and could operate without major government subsidization.
