Ancient cultures were obsessed with soil fertility, multi cropping and crop rotation and cherished the most nutrient-dense foods.
Second, the estimated shadow costs are incorporated with the observed market costs and used within a programming framework to calibrate empirical non-linear multi-crop, multi-input production functions.
Self-reliant livestock production in developing countries requires a strategy to optimise production from available feed resources through an integrated technology which employs multi-purpose crops, multi-purpose animals and recycling of residues and by-products.
The only alternatives for smallholder farmers with a variety of crops are rented combines or specialized multi-crop threshers that run on diesel engines.
The MultiCrop Thresher in development is a low-cost, high-impact multi-crop agricultural processing machine that is easy to use under a variety of field constraints.
A modified energy cascade model was used to predict outputs of a multi-crop (tomatoes, potatoes, lettuce and strawberries) Lunar greenhouse prototype.
A three-furrow (six-row), multi-crop seed cum fertiliser drill was designed and developed with the provision for a seed-pressing device.
Elliot and his team are developing an engine-powered multi-crop thresher (MCT), a machine that can thresh the crops most common in the developing world (rice, maize, wheat, sorghum, barley).
This study provides seasonal trapping data of D. suzukii adults in an unsprayed multi-crop mosaic, and may serve as a model of adult capture patterns across smaller mixed-crop commercial orchards and associated urban landscapes.
Taking a multi-crop approach, this paper fills the gap by investigating the key determinants of market participation decisions of smallholder farmers in Ghana using the sample selectivity probit model in order to account for potential endogeneity and selectivity bias and thus obtain unbiased estimates.
The agricultural practices of genetically modifying crops and prioritizing monocultures over multi-crop farming have made biodiversity plummet in many parts of the world, Shiva wrote.
