Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtended Fuzzy Decision Support Model for Cropland Recommendation of Food Cropping in IndonesiaLucky Christopher Chen, Nurcahyo Wibowo, Ditdit Nugeraha UtamaFood crops are the preferred crops to be cultivated on agricultural land in Indonesia, which has a wide area available for use as agricultural land. Each region’s agricultural lands in Indonesia have distinct features (e.g., water capacity, land porosity, land height, etc.). Rice, maize, red beans and green beans are significant food crops that are commonly cultivated in Indonesia. The … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 17, Issue 8 · 8 Sep 2021 · 6,501 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLevels of Trace and Other Selected Metals in Mixed Teff Grain SamplesAbraha Gebregewergis WeldehawariaTeff (Eragrostis tef (Zuccagni)) is a hugely important crop to Ethiopia both in terms of production and consumption. In terms of production, teff is the dominant cereal by area coverage and second only to maize in production and consumption. The principal use of teff grain for human food in Ethiopia is in the form of Injera, a soft porous thin … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 19 Feb 2022 · 7,124 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomated Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda, J.E. Smith) Pheromone Trap Based on Machine LearningSimon H. Chiwamba, Jackson Phiri, Philip O.Y. Nkunika et al.Maize is the main food crop that meets the nutritional needs of both humans and livestock in the sub-Saharan African region. Maize crop has in the recent past been threatened by the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda, J.E Smith) which has caused considerable maize yield losses in the region. Controlling this pest requires knowledge on the time, location and extent of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 12 · 19 Dec 2019 · 8,364 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficiency and Forecast Performance of Commodity Futures MarketsBernardina Algieri, Matthias KalkuhlThe present study empirically investigates market efficiency and the potential factors of inefficiency in the main non-energy commodity futures markets: maize, soybeans and wheat. With efficient markets, futures prices can be used as commodity price forecasts, with inefficient markets futures prices are not able to predict spot prices. Technically, exploring the drivers of inefficiency means to assess the determinants of … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 10 Jun 2019 · 8,375 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstract2D Kinematic Quantification of Soil Particles around Growing Plant Root based on Optical MechanicsWenbin Wu, Jian ZhaoThe quantitative kinematic description of the surrounding soil particles during root growth is a technical challenge and biologically important. In this study, a two-dimensional camera-based imaging system was used to observe micro scale interactions between plant roots and soil particles. Maize root tip was imaged during ingress into the soils. This produced a series of two-dimensional images that represent temporal … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 21 Oct 2020 · 6,411 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Fuzzy Decision Support Model for Cropland Recommendation of Food Cropping in IndonesiaDitdit Nugeraha Utama, Alvali Zaqi Taufan, Al Ghifari Hartzani et al.Indonesia has an incredibly wide area for agriculture. The agriculture area in Indonesia has specific characteristic for each area (e.g., water capacity, land porosity, land height, etc.,). Furthermore, food crop is the most plant planted in Indonesia; rice, corn, red bean, green bean are some important food crops. The study aims to create a Decision Support Model based on fuzzy … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 29 Apr 2020 · 7,504 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy on the Relationship between International and Domestic Grain Prices in Developing Countries—An Application of Markov-Switching Autoregressive Model—Shuqin Yan, Kolawole Ogundari, Hiroshi Isoda, Shoichi ItoThis study aims at estimating the influence of international grain prices on the domestic grain prices in 24 developing countries using a nonlinear model, Markov-Switching Autoregressive model. The results indicate that international grain prices have a positive influence on domestic grain prices before and during/after the grain price-hikes, while the degree of influence may vary depending upon grains and countries. … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 31 Jul 2016 · 7,796 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Effect of Three Nitrate Fertilizers on Nitrate Leaching under the Root Zone in Clay Loam SoilThamer Ahmed Mohammed, M. Nooshin, Megat Johari Megat Mohd. Noor, A. LiaghatProblem statements: Nitrogen fertilizer is recognized as an important factor in crop’s yield level, however more application of N fertilizers in the soil have some adverse effects on environment and especially on groundwater contamination. Perception and recognition the factors influencing nitrate transport through soil profile is helpful for fertilizer management to minimize adverse impacts on environment and nitrate leaching below … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,064 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResidual Influence of Early Season Crop Fertilization and Cropping System on Growth and Yield of CassavaE. A. Makinde, O. T. AyoolaProblem Statement: In assessing fertilizer effects to sustain an intensive cropping system, the residual effects of fertilizer applied to preceding maize on the growth and yield of cassava and the effects of intercropping with soybean were studied in field experiments at Ibadan, Nigeria. Approach: Maize, established in April was fertilized using either organic manure or inorganic fertilizer or a mixture … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,967 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProtecting crop species from biotic and abiotic constraints in the era of Global Change: are we ready for this challenge?Marco Landi, Giovanni BenelliReliable and affordable supply of food is of crucial importance to the progress and stability of human societies. During the last century, we have assisted to an extraordinary increase of crop yields, especially for the most widespread and consumed crop species, such as rice, wheat, corn and soybean. The Broadbalk experiment, one of the oldest continuous agronomic experiments in the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2016 · 8,399 accessesView PDFCite
