Input management in cotton production – a production function analysis

Joint pricing and production management: a geometric programming approach with consideration of cubic production cost function

Coordination and harmony between different departments of a company can be an important factor in achieving competitive advantage if the company corrects alignment between strategies of different departments. This paper presents an integrated decision model based on recent advances of geometric programming technique. The demand of a product considers as a power function of factors such as produ...

Cotton Production in Malawi

assessment of indirect production function and budget constraint in khorasan provinces' cotton production

an indirect tarns-log production function was employed to estimate the demand functions for such inputs as: fertilizer, seed, pesticide, water recourse and machinery as subject to budget constraint and while using data related to cotton producers in the three provinces of north khorasan, khorasane razavi, and south khorasan in 2007-8. lagrange coefficients with relation to cotton producers in t...

Analysis of a precision agriculture approach to cotton production

The hope of precision agriculture is that through more precise timing and usage of seed, agricultural chemicals and irrigation water that higher economic yields can occur while enhancing the economic production of field crops and protecting the environment. The analyses performed in this manuscript demonstrate proof of concept of how precision agriculture coupled with crop simulation models and...

Impact of Cotton Production Systems on Management of Hoplolaimus columbus.

The effectiveness of selected cultural practices in managing the Columbia lance nematode, Hoplolaimus columbus, on cotton was evaluated in experiments in growers' infested fields. The effects of planting date, cotton cultivar, treatment with the growth regulator mepiquat chloride, and destruction of cotton-root systems after harvest on cotton-lint yield and population densities of H. columbus w...
