How Competitive Is Myanmar's Rice Sector? A Comparison of Production Costs and Efficiency
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the cost competitiveness of rice production in Myanmar by examining production costs, cost efficiency, and the potential effect of improving cost efficiency on the country's global competitiveness. To achieve this, we conduct a comparative analysis of production costs among major rice‐producing countries and estimate the ...

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study sets out to investigate the prospects for raising oil palm output in sub‐Saharan Africa, particularly Ghana, without further expansion of cropland. Given global concerns about oil palm's role in deforestation and land use change, the focus is on enhancing productivity on existing farmlands.

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract In the U.S., crime and violence are concentrated in cities that have lost industry and population due to economic disinvestment and structurally racist policies. Researchers, practitioners, and policymakers have called for community‐level approaches that reduce violence in these cities by improving unsafe physical environments, increasing ...

Competitiveness of winter wheat stands against weeds: Effects of cultivar choice, row width and drilling direction [PDF]
, 2002 The need for competitive crop stands can be regarded as a basic requirement for weed control, potentially reducing the need for direct control measures. One way the crop may suppress weed growth is by the restriction of light through crop shading.

Impact of the quality of organic amendments on size and composition of the weed seed bank [PDF]
, 2011 In addition to improving the soil quality, organic amendments of soils may affect weed seed survival, emergence, growth and reproduction. This study evaluated the effects of applications of different qualities of organic amendments on size and ...

Do Skin Prick Tests Predict Nasal Provocation Test Outcomes in Allergic Rhinitis Patients?
International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background In diagnosing allergic rhinitis (AR), conventional skin prick tests (SPTs) often fail to reflect allergen‐induced nasal symptoms. Conversely, nasal provocation tests (NPTs) provide more definitive assessments but are less accessible.

Predicting spring barley yield from variety-specific yield potential, disease resistance and straw length, and from environment-specific disease loads and weed pressure [PDF]
, 2008 For low-input crop production, well-characterised varieties increase the possibilities of managing diseases and weeds. This analysis aims at developing a framework for analyzing grain yield using external varietal information about disease resistance ...

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Current phylogenies of Amaranthaceae sensu stricto (s.s.) are inadequately sampled and resolved to reflect the entire evolutionary history of the lineage, which is likely complex due to at least three whole‐genome duplication events, occasionally followed by subsequent additional polyploidization events and rapid diversification of ...
