Evidence of crop damage and an expected shortfall in food-grain availability may make matters even worse, he notes.
Deeper world markets for rice and other grains, availability of foreign exchange from increased export earnings, and trade liberalization have also helped to stabilize availability of food through more reliable opportunities for imports in years of domestic production shortfalls.
The analyses suggested that pore-scale factors – in particular the grain surface availability, reflected in the sorption capacity terms of the kinetic model used – could only account for a fraction of the observed reactivity differences between packing types.
Overall, ridge tillage and mulching improved water availability, grain yield, and WUE in rain-fed winter wheat, especially when N and rainfall were deficient.
The current study aimed to investigate the effects of ridge tillage and mulching on water availability, grain yield, and WUE in rain-fed winter wheat under different rainfall and N conditions.
The seasonal calendar exercise (Figure 4) demonstrated the variations in the amount of rainfall, new cases of FMD and other livelihood variables like grain and milk availability over the seasons of the year.
For the conceptualist claim to follow, they must show not that the content of perception is in fact conceptualizable by the subject undergoing the experience in all of its fine grain, as the availability of demonstrative concepts suggests, but rather that the subject cannot undergo the experience without possessing these concepts.
Significant and positive correlation between Mg, Fe and Mn, as well as with Ptot indicates that an improved mineral nutrition under application of organo-mineral foliar fertilizers, may increase the concentration of individual elements in grain, althogh their availability may be still questionable.
The seasonal calendar technique was used to describe seasonal variations in the amount of rainfall, new FMD cases, calving season, cattle contact with wildlife and livelihood indicators such as milk availability, grain purchase, cattle movement and trade, and socio-cultural practices related to cattle.
