Micro-enterprises have the potential to serve as the seedbed for industrialization. But in order to reach their potential, they face a myriad of challenges obstructing their path. A major obstacle to the cause is their inability to utilize technology to its full capability. Research has shown how IT enables organizations & even countries to leapfrog through stages of positive development. This ...

greenhouse gases emissions from burning fossil fuels and the effect of these gases on climate change is one of the most important ecological and political issues. in this study the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from tillage and soybean planting were assessed in gorgan. this study is done on 13 soybean farms in 2012. information related to tillage and planting operations were p...

Progressive soil compaction is a disadvantage of intensive tillage. Compaction exerts negative impact on the physical properties and decreases crop performance. The adverse effects can be mitigated by replacing conventional tillage with simplified techniques. Simplified protective effect soil, reduces production costs preserves agricultural ecosystems. aim this study was to determine influence ...

Cassava is a mainstay crop for food security in Africa, its tubers being large source of carbohydrates the human diet. In some regions (e.g., Democratic Republic Congo; DRC), leaves are also consumed as proteins, vitamins, and minerals. adapts well to range soil-climate conditions requires low inputs, yet yields often unsatisfactory because failures disseminating improved genotypes agricultural...

A number of tests to study the yield response of cotton and soybean to several fertility programs, under conventional, no-till, and stale-seedbed production systems were established at the Cotton Branch Station near Marianna, Ark. Soil samples (0 to 6 inches) were collected prior to planting and extracted using the Mehlich3 procedure (extraction ratio of 1:7), with nitrate-N measured with a sel...

suitable soil structure is important for crop growth. one of the main characteristics of soil structure is the size of soil aggregates. there are several ways of showing the stability of soil aggregates, among which the determination of the median weight diameter of soil aggregates is the most common method. in this paper, a method based on adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (anfis) was used...

THE FIRST step in producing a satisfactory crop of tobacco is to use good seed that is true to type. The grower often can save his own seed to advantage, if he wants to. Before topping is done, he should go over the tobacco field carefully to pick out desirable seed plants. When he has decided on the ideal type of plant, he should select the plants that conform to this type for producing seed. ...
