1. Mapping The Effect Of Food Prices, Productivity And Poverty In The Development Domains Of NigeriaPoverty remains the major obstacle to economic emancipation and achievement of development agenda in Nigeria. Worse still, rising food prices pose a major threat to feeding the teeming population in Nigeria. Declining food production, high population growth, and negative food trade balance combine to worsen the food and poverty situations in Nigeria. We stand on the premise that surging and volatile food prices could have a hardest hit on those who could not afford it –... O.E. Olayide, A.E. Ikpi, V.O. Okoruwa, , T. Alabi, T. Omodele |
2. DTE – A Method Which Integrates Statistical Analysis With Economic Evaluation In Large Area Of Type 23 Experiments.Plant production is governed by certain, well-defined cultivation recommendations, especially important when quality standards imposed by contract agreements are to be met. Due to technical and economic conditions, a farmer is not always able to adhere to such recommendations in practice, but at the same time changes on the farm produce market (progress in plant breeding and mechanization of field work, new agrochemicals, effective microorganisms, etc) enforce producers to either...

3. Investigate the Optimal Plot Length in On-Farm TrialsAgronomic researchers have recently begun running large-scale, on-farm field trials that employ new technologies that enable us to conduct hundreds of farm trials all over the world and, by extension, rigorous quantitative and data-centered analysis. The large-scale, on-farm trials follow traditional small-plot trials where the fields are divided into plots, and different treatments are randomly assigned to each plot. Over the past two years, researchers have been designing trials with plots... A. Gong |
4. On-farm Experimentation Case Study in Brazil: Evaluation of Soybean Seeding Rate Using Resources Available at the FarmIn order to maximize grain yield in soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) it is necessary that the plant population is correctly defined. Production environments differ spatially, and cultivar holders suggest plant populations across macroregions and in broad ranges. Refinements of planting seasons and populations are carried out through tests on many properties, often costly and sometimes unrepresentative of most fields. Tools for managing spatial variability are ways to conduct more... M. Rodrigues alves franchi, I. Molina cyrineu, F. Kagami taira, L. Hunhoff, L.M. Gimenez |
