ABSTRACT- Crop residue is applied to amend soil properties and increase crop yield. In this study, the effects of rapeseed residues and different rates of nitrogen on grain yield and yield components of sunflower and weed dry matter were investigated. The experiment was conducted at the Experimental Farm of College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, located at Badjgah, Shiraz, Iran in 2007-2008...

This paper adopts a notion of expectation-perception gap of systems users as information systems (IS) failure. Problems leading to the expectation-perception gap are identified and modelled as five interrelated discrepancies or gaps throughout the process of information systems development (ISD). It describes an empirical study on how systems developers and users perceive the size of each gap a...

Rice, wheat, maize, millet, and barley are the five major staple cereal crops in Nepal. However, their yields low, imports needed to meet domestic demand. In this study, we quantify gap between current potentially attainable Nepal, estimate how much additional fertilizer irrigation required close gap, assess if self-sufficiency can thus be achieved. For this, first test ability of crop model EP...

This paper describes the analysis of the influence of yield loss model parameters on the calculation of the probability of arising shorts between conducting paths in IC’s. The characterization of the standard cell in AMS 0.8 μm CMOS technology is presented as well as obtained probability results and estimations of yield loss by changing values of model parameters. Keywords— yield model paramete...

This paper focuses on the yield prospects of wheat, rice and maize since these cereals dominate human diet, and since continued yield growth is considered the major route to meeting future global demand for food, feed and fuel. We define for a region farm yield (FY), attainable yield (AY, as reached with the best technology and prudent economics), and potential yield (PY, yield with the best va...
