optimal use of lands heavily relies on careful assessment of agro-ecological resources. the present study was aimed to zoning of suitable areas for of soybean cropping in qaresoo basin of golestan province by geographical information system (gis) and analytical hierarchy process (ahp). in this study, environmental components included: minimum, average, maximum temperatures, precipitation, slope...

Alternative development is closely associated with reductions in drug crop cultivation at the local level. However, currently these local successes cannot be directly attributed to alternative development interventions because the motivations and circumstances that determine household drug crop cultivation remain largely unexplored. Research has tended to focus on aggregate trends in drug crop ...

Studies show that agricultural activities around the world still present a strong dependence on agrochemicals can leach into soil profile, causing its contamination, as well of water resources. In this context, study evaluates potential risk pesticide leaching in areas edaphoclimatic suitability for coffee cultivation Espírito Santo state, Brazil. As methodology, conilon and arabica were define...

northern regions of khuzestan province are suitable areas for soybean cultivation. hybridization blocks and soybean segregating generations were established in safiabad agricultural research center during 1990-1997 to produce new soybean lines which would have a high seed yield and high adaptability to the region. line l.14 selected from segregating generations of a hybridization between cultiv...

26 Shellfish carrying capacity is determined by the interaction of cultured species with the 27 ecosystem, principally constrained by environmental characteristics, especially food 28 availability. A recent experiment carried out in Lysefjord (SW Norway) has shown that 29 induced upwelling of nutrient-rich deeper water stimulated phytoplankton growth, 30 potentially increasing the carrying capa...

Paederus fuscipes, a vector of Paederus dermatitis in most tropical and subtropical countries of the world have a high prevalence in human dwellings due to their positively phototaxic behaviour which has caused a tremendous impact on human health. In this paper, P. fuscipes dispersal flights were studied for two seasons of the rice cultivation phases in residential premises built close to rice ...

The impact of water use in areas with abundant freshwater resources should not be the same as areas with limited resources. This impact is quantified as water scarcity footprint. The monthly water stress index with reference to environmental water requirement is proposed as a characterization factor. The biofuel policies of Thailand—cassava and sugarcane for bioethanol, and oil palm for biodies...
