Unpacking the Farmland Capitalization Effect of Ethanol Establishment

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We unpack the impact of expansions in ethanol production—as measured by proximity to newly constructed ethanol plants and capacity expansions—on farmland values using land transaction data from Kansas in combination with modern causal inference techniques.

Evapotranspiration from Maize Studied Using Weighing Lysimeters

Guan'gai paishui xuebao, 2021
【Objective】 Evapotranspiration is important not only as a component of the hydrological cycle but also for its role in modulating crop growth. The purpose of this paper is to measure the evapotranspiration of spring maize using weighing lysimeters and ...

Estimation of evapotranspiration in the Mu Us Sandland of China

, 2010
Evapotranspiration (ET) was estimated from 1981–2005 over Wushen County located in the Mu Us Sandland, China, by applying the Advection-Aridity model, which is based on the complementary relationship hypothesis.

The Power of Unity: Collective Action and Smallholder Agricultural Performance in West Africa

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We analyze the impact of collective action through farmer‐based organizations (FBOs) on smallholders' farm performance and income inequality in Ghana, Benin, The Gambia, and Mali. We find that FBO membership increases cereal yield in Ghana and The Gambia, legume yield in Mali, ruminant numbers in Benin and The Gambia, and total farm income in ...

Estimation and verification of autumn lettuce evapotranspiration in greenhouse based on single crop coefficient method

Guan'gai paishui xuebao
【Objective】 The variation in evapotranspiration is an important parameter in irrigation design. In this paper, we propose and verify a modified single crop coefficient method to calculate the evapotranspiration of greenhouse lettuce.

Evapotranspiration and crop coefficient of cucumber in greenhouse [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 2003
The evapotranspiration (ETc) and crop coefficient (Kc) of cucumber in a greenhouse were determined during the winter-spring season in Piracicaba, SP, Brazil. Crop was irrigated with water of three different levels of salinity: S1 = 1.5, S2 = 3.1 and S3 = 5.2 dS m-1.

Evapotranspiration estimates for water balance scheduling in the UK [PDF]

, 1996
This paper compares the use of different methods for estimating reference evapotranspiration (ETo) for irrigation scheduling in the UK. Methods include use of long-term averages, daily weather data and evaporimeters. The results from a single trial in

Estimating crop evapotranspiration using a satellite remote sensing based energy balance model

, 2020
DeLiberty, Tracy L.Evapotranspiration (ET) is the combination of transpiration from plants and evaporation from land surface sources of water. Accurate accounting of actual crop ET is critical in agricultural water management, especially in areas with ...

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.
