Equally important to consider is the role of soil management in mediating N cycling

While these farmers represent a case study for building a successful, organic farm within one generations, the results of this study beg the question: What advancements in farm management and soil management could be possible with multiple generations of farmer knowledge transfer on the same land? Rather than re-learning the ins and outs of farming every […]

Five Ethiopian flower farms agreed to randomize fall 2008 long-term job-offers

The evidence in table 6 that mother’s bargaining power influences the amount of house-work that daughters take over when mothers get employed suggests that mothers have influence over daughters’ time. But should daughters themselves and fathers also be seen as decision makers participating in decisions about daughters’ time use? In table 7, I interact proxies […]

The reason appears to be that distortionary discrimination at work increases during times of conflict

The estimates in table 7 provide a clear picture. In a sub-sample of teams consisting of workers from two different tribes categorized as belonging to the same tribal bloc, little if any discrimination against non-coethnic processors occurs. The output of vertically mixed teams is for example not significantly different from that of homogeneous teams in […]

Sudan grass is also a good summer cover crop and is relatively easy to grow

The two most commonly used summer cover crops in our region are annual buckwheat and sudan grass. Buckwheat is the fastest-growing summer cover crop, and when planted at a high enough density and irrigated up, annual buckwheat will outgrow and “smother” most of the fast-growing summer annual weeds such as pig weed and lambs quarter. Once incorporated, […]

A total of 200 cows were enrolled over a 1.5-month period into a mixed-parity herd

As expected, the dendrograms pruned with the ensemble of simulations that accounted for both measurement error and longitudinal consistency of the underlying behavioral pattern produced encodings that were far more granular. A total of 13 clusters were returned for the unweighted Euclidean metric, 17 for KL distance, and 14 for both the noise-penalized and the […]

One potential explanation for these results might be a dominance gradient

In more recent work, cows may have been motivated to access limited feed bunk space on commercial dairies or to obtain prime pasture . In this study, as all animals were locked following milking to facilitate feeding treatments and health checks, cows would have had ample access silage regardless of queue position. Alternatively, Rathore suggested […]

The later limitation can overlook important dynamic features of the behavioral patterns under consideration

This model-free framework can subsequently be extended to a multivariate estimator with two or more discrete variables. In the bivariate case, the distribution of one variable is compared across each encoded level of the other in order to decompose the total entropy in the joint encoding into three terms: the conditional entropy unique to the […]

Each theme was mentioned in at least half of the interviews

Sordariomycetes enrichment may indicate other community shifts that are ultimately the cause for enhanced fruit quality. Endophytes in the Hypocreales class, which was enriched in dry farm fields, are known to increase drought resistance and decrease pest pressure in their hosts, though none of the specific species known to exhibit this behavior were enriched in […]

Rotational complexity decreased with average rainfall during the growing season

They show that Kenyan exporters selectively allocated limited deliveries across contracts to maintain credibility in seller’s reliability. In a study of relational contracts in the Rwandan coffee industry, the same authors instrument the placement of mills to show that more potential competition from other mills reduces the use relational contracts with farmers making farmers worse […]
