Therefore, the use of illumination sensor to control the illumination has become an important factor affecting crop yield.Photosynthetically active radiation is an important environmental factor in plant growth. In facility agriculture or horticultural research, the optimum light intensity and duration should be determined according to the plant species and its growth stage. For ...
Borrowing large amounts of capital and incurring considerable debts in order to produce an agricultural commodity is necessary farmers and ranchers in many cases. Ordinarily, the lender loaning money will require the agricultural producer to provide a security interest in crops, livestock, or equipment. This type of transaction is considered a secured transaction, as explained in the first ...
The American south-west and central plains could be on course for super-droughts the like of which they have not witnessed in over a 1,000 years. Places like California are already facing very dry conditions, but these are quite gentle compared with some periods in the 12th and 13th Centuries. The drought in California has reached dire proportions, landing agriculture directly in the regulatory ...

The Earth’s population has more than quadrupled in the last 150 years, which has led to dramatic changes in the livestock industry because farmers had to increase the density of animals in order to meet demand. As a result of the increased proximity of animals to one another, disease became a huge problem. Subsequently, antibiotics began being commonly used on livestock farms. Originally, ...
(B&C®), was quoted by Bloomberg BNA Daily Environment Report regarding China’s updated pesticide regulations. China's pesticide regulations were updated in the Agriculture Ministry's Order No. 3, which went into effect Aug. 1, but observers said disparities still exist between that directive and the subsequent Proclamation No. ...
For an agro-food product to be officially considered organic it must comply with the current legislation on organic agriculture (principally EC Regulation 834/2007 in the EU and the NOP Regulations in the USA) be certified by a competent body be labelled with the official "organic agriculture" stamp/logo. As defined in ...

An honest discussion of genetically modified organisms must move beyond narrow concepts of human health to the wider social and environmental impacts of engineered crops. The GMO debate is one from which I’ve kept a purposeful distance. For one thing, it’s an issue that has already garnered more than its fair share of attention. For another, when you consider that many domesticated ...

Agricultural waste biomass generated from agricultural production and food processing industry are abundant, such as durian peel, mango peel, corn straw, rice bran, corn shell, potato peel and many more. ...
Annual fiber sorghum (FS) and perennial giant reed (GR) cultivated in the Mediterranean area, appear of interest due to their high productivity under drought conditions and the potential use as lignocellulosic feedstock for biorefinery purpose. This study compares the environmental constraints related to FS and GR produced in an experimental farms (Campania region), by means of an ...
While previous research has analysed the links between drinking water access and health, and to some extent between health and agriculture, the direct impact of household water access on agricultural productivity has hardly been studied. We address this research gap, using survey data from Tanzania. Regression models show that water access constraints significantly decrease labour productivity ...
