1. Timely, Objective, And Accurate Crop Area Estimations And Mapping Using Remote Sensing And Statistical Methods For The Province Of Prince Edward Island, CanadaThe provincial government of Prince Edward Island, Canada, required timely, objective, and accurate annual crop area statistics and mapping for 2006 to 2008. Consequently, Statistics Canada conducted a survey incorporating medium- resolution satellite imagery (10 to 30 m) and statistical survey methods. The objective was to produce crop area estimates with a coefficient of variation (CV) as a measure of accuracy, and to produce maps showing the distribution and location of different crops and... F.

2. Microbial Contaminants in Cocoa Powder Samples in South West NigeriaCocoa powder (CP), which is the major ingredient of cocoa-based beverages, is obtained from cocoa cake in a process involving hydraulic pressing of cocoa butter from fermented and roasted cocoa beans. Cocoa powder is presently being consumed as a health drink because of the presence of flavonoids in it. Evidences have shown that cocoa flavonoids exert powerful antioxidant properties by boosting immune responses and also the presence of procyanidins in cocoa protects the body against free-radical....

3. Improving Yield Prediction Accuracy Using Energy Balance Trial, On-the-Go and Remote Sensing ProcedureOur long term experience in the ~23.5 ha research field since 2001 shows that decision support requires complex databases from each management zone within that field (eg. soil physical and chemical parameters, technological, phenological and meteorological data). In the absence of PA sustainable biomass production cannot be achieved. The size of management zones will be ever smaller. Consequently, the on the go and remote sensing data collection should be preferred. The... A. Nyéki , G. Milics, A.J. Kovács, M. Neményi, I. Kulmány, S. Zsebő |
