Recent years have seen an increased interest in using yield management techniques to maximize profitability in capacity constrained situations. The general principles and history of yield management are reviewed. General implementation issues and techniques are discussed, and various industries are considered for impact and specific implementation issues. Service and manufacturing industries ar...

Ascochyta blight (caused by rabiei) is a primary concern of chickpea production worldwide. Intercropping with non-host crop has the potential to suppress this disease and improve resource use efficiency for enhanced yield. This study aimed evaluate effects seeding rate row configuration (Cicer arietinum L.)–flax (Linum usitatissimum L) intercropping on (1) yield seed quality, (2) incidence seve...

The main objective of this study was to determine growth, yield and fruit quality of grapevines under organic and biodynamic management in relation to integrated viticultural practices. Furthermore, the mechanisms for the observed changes in growth, yield and fruit quality were investigated by determining nutrient status, physiological performance of the plants and disease incidence on bunches ...

This study assessed the first year of a regional general practitioner (GP) open-access neuroimaging service, to determine diagnostic yield and influence on patient management. Overall, 48.1% of examinations demonstrated a radiologically significant abnormality with 64.1% of spinal imaging examinations demonstrating significant findings. Utilised appropriately, a regional open-access neuroimagin...

Over the last 70 years, national corn yield gains have occurred because of superior genetic yield potentials and management improvements such as improved water management, higher plant densities, and earlier planting dates. Some management recommendations, such as those from seed companies that promote optimum plant densities, are often environment, hybrid, and/or yield-range specific. Nitrogen...

Better irrigation management and more efficient management of crop production require modeling of plant growth and crop yield. More applicable models are usually simple and requires less and accessible inputs. The objective of this study was to develop a model for growth and yield prediction of saffron under various irrigation regimes. In this modeling soil water budget and other simple rel...
