Estimation of the Yield of Some Rainfed Crops in the Present Irrigated Lands of Iran [PDF]
Introduction Occurrence of drought and reduction of rainfall in the future will limit the cultivation of irrigated crops. Thus, it is probable that a part of the present irrigated lands and orchards of Iran may be unavailable for the cultivation of ...

Growth Manipulation of Slicer Carrots by Foliar-applied Gibberellic Acid in New York
New York, USA, is a regional hub for processing carrot (Daucus carota ssp. sativus) production and Nantes-type cultivars are preferred for slicing. Diameter is critical in carrots for slicing, with roots larger than 1 5/8 inch being rejected.

Closing county-level yield gaps through better phosphorus fertilizer management in Northeast China
The limited available information on variations in yield gaps (differences between actual yields and the theoretically attainable yields) restricts the development of rational strategies to optimize yields and reduce environmental costs.

Rice Yield Gaps in Smallholder Systems of the Kilombero Floodplain in Tanzania
To meet the growing rice demand in Africa, gaps between actual and attainable yields have to be reduced. In Tanzania, this particularly concerns smallholder rain-fed production systems in the floodplains.

On the attainment of the maximum sustainable yield in the Verhulst–Lotka–Volterra model [PDF]
We reformulate the Verhulst-Lotka-Volterra model of natural resource extraction under the alternative assumptions of Cournot behaviour and perfect competition, to revisit the tragedy of commons vs the possibility of sustainable harvesting. We stress the different impact of demand elasticity on the regulator’s possibility of driving industry harvest to ...

Yield gap analysis of rainfed alfalfa in the United States
The United States (US) is the largest alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) producer in the world. More than 44% of the US alfalfa is produced under rainfed conditions, although it requires a relatively high amount of water compared to major field crops ...
