Modelling Wheat Productivity under Deficit Irrigation

International Journal of Environment and Climate Change, 2022
This research was carried out to simulate wheat growth under deficit irrigation across two cropping years (2020-21 and 2021-22) at Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh India. Crop growth simulation models are useful for evaluating the impact of water scarcity on crop productivity and crop yield.

Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

Lost and Found: Is Olfactory Recovery More Promising After COVID‐19 Than Other Causes, Even 2 Years Later?

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Olfactory dysfunction is a hallmark feature of COVID‐19, yet the potential for recovery with long‐standing COVID‐19‐related smell loss (CRSL) remains uncertain, particularly when treatment is initiated years later. This study evaluated olfactory outcomes in patients with CRSL compared with non‐COVID‐19‐related smell loss (non‐CRSL),
