An economic comparison of conventional and reduced-chemical farming systems in Iowa
American Journal of Alternative Agriculture, 1991AbstractLabor requirements, production costs, yields, and economic returns were evaluated for conventional and reduced-chemical cropping systems in northeast Iowa from 1978 to 1989. Continuous corn (C-C) and corn-soybean (C-Sb) rotations represented the conventional system; a corn-oat-meadow (C-O-M) rotation represented the reducedchemical system.

IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, 2023
The ever-increasing penetration of renewable generation is demanding additional flexibility for the operation of power systems. In this sense, it has been proved that wind power generators (WPGs) can provide part of the required operating reserve through

Conventional Versus Pasture-Based Dairy Systems: An Economic Analysis
2014Due to volatility in milk and feed prices, which has reduced profits, Southeastern U.S. dairy producers are considering production systems that can generate greater profits with lower capital requirements. This paper estimates economic costs and returns of three types of dairy systems used in the Southeast: conventional confinement, mostly grazing, and

Economics of Five Wheat Production Systems with No‐Till and Conventional Tillage
Agronomy Journal, 2009Conventional tillage (CT) continues to be used on the vast majority of land seeded to monoculture winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in the Southern Plains of the United States. In the region, wheat can be grown for either grain‐only, forage‐only, or for both fall–winter forage + grain (dual‐purpose).

Global Economic System and Conventional Development
2014As discussed in the previous chapter, the global economic system is a product of the self-centred and greedy mind which drives those who are globally powerful, the global elites, who control the world’s capital, technology, knowledge and most material resources.

Economics of Technology for Precision Weed Control in Conventional and Organic Systems
2013Regardless of the crop production system used, weeds must be controlled at or below an economic threshold in order to achieve an acceptable level of profitability. The best method of weed control will depend on a number of factors, including labor, fuel and machinery cost, crop prices, and farmer’s willingness to accept production risks.

Techno-Economical Analysis of Energy Storage Systems in Conventional Distribution Networks
2021Growing trend of integrating renewable energy resources in conventional Distribution Networks and their intermittent output increase the need for Energy Storage Systems. In this chapter, a closed form equation is proposed for optimal management of multi Energy Storage System in a conventional Distribution Network, analytically.

An Economic Comparison between Electric and Conventional Vehicles Based on System Dynamics
Advanced Materials Research, 2013Currently the number of electric vehicles on road is still small, the main reasons are their high cost, poor economic returns, which lead to their weak market competitiveness. In this paper, a system dynamics model was built to compare the life cycle costs of the electric vehicles and the conventional vehicles using Vensim. The results show that by the

Economic Performance of Long‐Term Organic and Conventional Cropping Systems in Minnesota
Agronomy Journal, 2011Long‐term crop rotation studies enable economic analyses that include a more complete representation of possible profit outcomes than do experiments of shorter duration. The objective of this study was to compare the profitability and risk of organic input (OI) and chemical input (CI) 4‐yr corn (Zea mays L.)–soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]–oat (Avena ...
