BACKGROUND Longitudinal studies using multi-level models to examine health inequalities in lower and middle income countries (LMICs) are rare. We explored socio-economic gradients in health among small farm members participating in a pesticide-related health and agriculture program in highland Ecuador. METHODS We profiled 24 communities through key informant interviews, secondary data (percen...

a 2-years (2007-2009) field study was carried out at the college of agriculture, shiraz university, to evaluate the influence of crop residues management and nitrogen (n) rates on soil quality and barley grain protein under dryland conditions. the experiment was conducted as strip split plot with four replications. horizontal plots were three crop residues rates (0, 750 and 1500 kg ha-1), verti...

Soil application of liquid cattle manure (LCM) (excrements plus urine, occasionally containing bedding material) can enhance plant growth and increase crop yield (Beauchamp, 1986; Culley et al., 1981; Evans et al., 1977; Kaffka & Kanneganti, 1996; Lithourgidis et al., 2007; Matsi et al., 2003; Motavalli et al., 1989; Sutton et al., 1986; Zhang et al., 2006; Zebarth et al., 1996).
