Estimate the causal effect of the amount of fertilizer on corn yield in precision agriculture while controlling for the type of soil, farming techniques, environmental variables, and other confounding variables of each farming plot. For example, how much extra corn would be produced if eac...
Assume that an owl forms one pellet each day and that your pellet is average. How many animals would an owl eat: 1. in a week? 2. in a month? 3. in a year? Owl: Owls are the birds that are seen as bad om...
Thus, this procedure is often more of a learning exercise than anything else. The first thing you need to do is to count the total number of ears in one thousandth of an acre. The length of row to count depends upon your row width as noted below: Row length which equals 1/1000 acre...
“There’s too much corn stover left in the field because of the amount of corn being grown — and you need to remove it,”Thomas Corle, CEO and Chairman of New Energy Blue, toldSustainable Brands®. “So, our biomass refinery is a good solution fo...
Pioneer researchers investigate how much more yield potential exists when growers increase plant populations.
When it comes to making life work, plants might get all the good press, but it's the much-maligned microbe that holds the food chain together. Specifically, cyanobacteria help form its base; gut microbes help us digest food from it; and soil bacteria turn the resulting waste into nutrients...
In many cases, the Old World crops were grown much more industriously in the New World soils and climates than in Europe (Nunn). For example, by 1680 the sugarcane production was predominantly produced by the new world . With the large increase of supply there was also a large increase in...
Furthermore, because so much of the current discussion around BE regards sustainability of biomass-based energy and fuels, companies operating in the energy sector were also expected to dedicate more attention to this concept. Like the other concepts, also BE may hold potential from the perspective...
Cultured Oilis a new type of cooking oil made byfermentation. Full of heart-healthy and heat-stable monounsaturated fat, Cultured Oil has a high smoke point and a clean neutral taste. By taking cues from our evolutionary past,Zero Acre Farmshas produced an oil that is full of beneficial mon...
(COE) research farms over a three-year period, a no-till program produced more than $20 profit per acre over conservation tillage and $45 profit per acre over conventional tillage. The additional profit per acre was primarily due to lower overall herbicide costs. The treatments with the ...
