The low ability of smallholder farmers and increasing price had been reported as a cause for no to lower application rates of inorganic fertilizer in Ethiopia (Karltun et al. 2013a) and Cameron (Yengoh 2012).
On GE and non-GE corn since 1996, the volume of insecticides applied has declined, because of the pesticide industry-wide trend toward more biologically active insecticides applied at incrementally lower application rates.
"[S]imilar to the pattern that has been found in grant applications for public research funds, whereby women tend to have similar success rates but lower application rates, female first authors may be less likely to submit their manuscripts to the top ranked journals".
A number of studies find that as race-based affirmative action policies were eliminated, the decrease in probability of acceptance for minority students led to lower application rates to competitive colleges (Long, 2004b; Brown and Hirschman, 2006), even though highly qualified minority applicants were less affected (Antonovics and Backes, 2013).
As with the sole manure applications, there was significantly (p < 0.05) higher total CO2-C efflux from the higher (M0B40) compared to the lower biochar application rate (M0B20).
The total CO2-C efflux from the M13B0 treatment was significant (p < 0.05) higher than that from the lower biochar application rate (M0B20) (Fig. 1a).
In Acrisol, biochar affected NH4+-N leaching, which was increased by both doses of biochar without fertilization, but decreased by the lower biochar application rate when fertilizer was added.
Obstetrics and gynecology departments receive the smallest amount of National Institutes of Health research funding and have significantly lower application success rates compared to pediatric, internal medicine, and surgery departments.
