Hemp (Cannabis sativa L. ssp. sativa) has a long history of domestication due to its versatile use. Recently, different sectors in the economy are investigating hemp cultivation increase agronomic production and limit delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Despite rapid growth literature recent years, it is still uncertain whether knowledge gained from higher latitude regions applicable low tropic...

Fibre hemp may yield up to 25 t above ground dry matter per hectare (20 t stem dry matter ha) which may contain as much as 12 t ha cellulose, depending on environmental conditions and agronomy. Its performance is affected by the onset of flowering and seed development. Effects of cultivar and management on yield and quality were tested at three contrasting sites in Italy, the Netherlands and th...

Corn silage serves as a high-energy forage for dairy cows. This is most important for high-producing herds and on farms experiencing problems with making or buying highquality hay crop forage. Corn silage, with its relatively highenergy content, is also well adapted for use in low-cost rations for fattening cattle. Corn silage requires less labor per ton to produce than many other forage crops....

In this paper, we extend Simple Conceptual Graphs with Reiter’s default rules. The motivation for this extension came from the type of reasonings involved in an agronomy application, namely the simulation of food processing. Our contribution is many fold: first, the expressivity of this new language corresponds to our modeling purposes. Second, we provide an effective characterization of sound ...
