Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Amid rising food and fertilizer prices, understanding farmers' policy preferences is critical for effective crisis response. We use best‐worst scaling experiment to assess Kenyan mobile‐owning crop farmers' preferences for government support under high and normal price scenarios.

Using the SWAT model to improve process descriptions and define hydrologic partitioning in South Korea [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014 Watershed-scale modeling can be a valuable tool to aid in quantification of water quality and yield; however, several challenges remain. In many watersheds, it is difficult to adequately quantify hydrologic partitioning.

PARTITIONING OF RAINFALL IN EXPERIMENTAL PLANTATIONS OF Eucalyptus urophylla AND Pinus elliottii
FLORESTA, 2018 In a period of 36 months, the partitioning of rainfall was studied in plantations of 30-year-old Eucalyptus urophylla and Pinus elliottii cultivated in flat drainage lysimeters. Gross precipitation was measured with one rain gauge installed in an open area located near the plantations; throughfall was determined by the arithmetic mean of five rain ...

Temperature Sensitivity and Adaptation of Cereal Yields: Empirical Evidence From Italy
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates the evolving temperature sensitivity and climate adaptation of cereal yields in Italy from 1952 to 2023, using province‐level data for maize, common wheat, and durum wheat. Employing panel data econometric methods, we estimate yield responses to heat exposure, changes in sensitivity over time, and adaptation to climate ...

Modelling runoff at the plot scale taking into account rainfall partitioning by vegetation: application to stemflow of banana (Musa spp.) plant [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2009 Rainfall partitioning by vegetation modifies the intensity of rainwater reaching the ground, which affects runoff generation. Incident rainfall is intercepted by the plant canopy and then redistributed into throughfall and stemflow.

Why Didn't I Get a Payout? Understanding Farmer Choices, Index Insurance, and Basis Risk
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Index insurance, while heralded as a potential solution to alleviate poverty and food insecurity among agricultural households, has its own set of challenges, notably basis risk. Basis risk is the discrepancy between the insurance payout and losses incurred, posing a significant deterrent to the adoption of index insurance.

Simplified stochastic soil-moisture models: a look at infiltration [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2006 A simplified, vertically-averaged model of soil moisture interpreted at the daily time scale and forced by a stochastic process of instantaneous rainfall events is compared with a vertically-averaged model which uses a non-overlapping rectangular pulse ...

Annals of Tropical Research, 2005 Climatic factors like temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, day length, and soil edaphic factors influence the growth and yield of a crop. The rate of dry matter accumulation remains faster at higher than lower temperature.

Does Contract Farming Improve Diet Quality? The Case of Senegalese Smallholders
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The institution of contract farming has gained prominence in most developing countries owing to its numerous benefits. While several studies have already highlighted the welfare benefits of contract farming, very few have investigated the effects on diet quality, despite poor quality diets being a serious challenge in most parts of the ...
