In order to clarify some aspects of the spring barley reaction on the production and accumulation of the protein in grain, at different levels of fertilization, some estimates of this chemical component were made at 16 levels of fertilization with N: P: K in the period 2016-2017. The increase in...

Increases in food demand, product differentiation, and agribusiness growth provide new market opportunities for smallholders in Africa. Yet, smallholders face challenges of meeting quality, volume, and timing requirements to capture these opportunities. Cooperatives have been identified as a...

This article describes the potential yields of maize, wheat and barley which were modeled with climate change, soil degradation and water balance scenarios in central Mexico. Two adaptation measures were also evaluated. To estimate yields the AquaCrop-FAO model was applied. Three study cases...

Jelen tanulmányban, primer adatgyűjtés alapján öt, hazánkban kiemelt jelentőségűnek tartott növénytermesztési ágazat – őszi búza, kukorica, őszi káposztarepce, őszi árpa és napraforgó – modellezését és a modell eredményeinek üzemtani elemzését végeztem el. A...

The market of the EU countries represents a very specific mechanism for the working of competitive forces. Outwardly it is partially isolated from the effects of the world market by the Common Agricultural Policy and the Common Commercial Policy of the EU, but as a consequence of the free...

Consumption of whole grains as part of a health-promoting diet is encouraged among Americans due to beneficial nutrients and phytochemicals. The main objectives of this study were to investigate the effect of whole barley flour particle size on consumer acceptance of whole grain and soluble...

Water harvesting has become an important priority for supporting the increasing population in the low rainfall areas of Jordan. The specific objectives of this paper are to assess the economic and environmental impacts of different water-harvesting techniques in Jordan's Badia region. Cost...

We have developed a protocol for rapid generation of barley plants with introduced genes by employing techniques of tissue culture, plant regeneration and crossing. Compared to conventional protocols, the time between pollination of T0 plants and identification of phenotypic expression in the T1...

In this paper we present a series of models, all within the context of a simple two-good economy, which bring out the distinctions among the different types of money and financial institutions. The models emphasize the physical properties of the economic goods, moneys, and trading systems. Part...
