Effect of contour rainwater-harvesting and integrated nutrient management on sorghum grain yield in semi-arid farming environments of Zimbabwe

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2022
The application of insufficient amounts of mineral fertiliser, coupled with unreliable precipitation, has caused a drastic reduction in the yield of sorghum in the smallholder-farming areas of Zimbabwe.

When the River Runs Low: Heterogeneous Impacts of Transportation Disruptions on Local Grain Basis

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A substantial share of U.S. soybean and corn exports from the Midwest moves by barge along the Mississippi River system to export terminals in the Louisiana Gulf. Transportation costs between Midwestern grain elevators and export terminals create a wedge between prices at these locations, and shocks to these costs are partially passed on to ...

Agroecological practices improve soil fertility and maize (Zea mays L.) yield under semi-deciduous forest conditions

Cogent Food & Agriculture
Agroecology is considered effective at improving soil fertility and crop yields. However, its effectiveness in increasing maize productivity within Ghana’s semi-deciduous forest zone remains insufficiently validated by empirical evidence.

Livelihood Diversification as an Adaptation Strategy to Climate Change and Household Food Security of Livestock Holders in Pakistan

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rural farm households continue to face significant risks from climate change, resulting in many of them diversifying their livelihood sources into other income‐generating activities to increase their incomes and improve food and nutrition security. In this study, we examine the drivers and impact of farm households' participation in livelihood

Two approaches for effective modelling of rain-rate time-series for radiocommunication system simulations [PDF]

, 2006
The paper presents a model which allows to synthetically generate rain rate time-series for a fixed location. Rain rate time-series are very much correlated with signal attenuation in Ka band and above and, thus, enable to realistically simulate ...

Do More Open Economies Export Less Diversely in Brazilian Agribusiness?

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper asks whether municipalities with a larger export‐to‐revenue ratio display a more concentrated bundle of exported goods in Brazilian agribusiness. Recent advances in export imputation for Brazilian municipalities allow for an analysis of the concentration profile of each municipality and its association with export openness.
