Review of whole-farm economic modelling for irrigation farming

The main objective of this paper is to review the progress that has been made in South Africa with respect to whole-farm economic modelling over the past 2 decades. Farming systems are complex and careful consideration to the stochastic dynamic nature of irrigation farming processes and their linkages with the larger water system is necessary when conducting whole-farm modelling. Both simulatio...

On-farm solid state simultaneous saccharification and fermentation of whole crop forage rice in wrapped round bale for ethanol production

BACKGROUND In an attempt to reduce environmental loading during ethanol production from cellulosic plant biomass, we have previously proposed an on-site solid state fermentation (SSF) method for producing ethanol from whole crops, which at the same time provides cattle feed without producing wastes. During the ensiling of freshly harvested plant biomass with cellulase and glucoamylase, the adde...

the significance of conjunction as a cohesive device in teaching writing

the research questions were as follows: 1. is there any relationship between the students concious awareness of the form and implications of the conjuncations and their improvement in using appropriate conjunctions? 2. does students knowledge of the from and the implications of the conjunctions help them to produce more coherent writings. 3. does a comparison between english conjunctions and th...

The Pattern of Crop Production of Selected Crop Species Under Different Farm Practices

For assessment of organic matter input into the soil system information on the elements of primary production by overlying vegetation is quiet essential. Hence the primary objective in this study was to investigate the primary production and organic matter input into the study sites and to estimate the organic matter. Total below ground and above ground ratio was 4.68:1 and 4.94:1 in organic an...
