Wheat and corn prices and energy markets: spillover effects
This paper investigates volatility spillover across crude oil market and wheat and corn markets. The corn commodity is taken here to assess the impact of change in demand for biofuel on wheat market. Results of multivariate GARCH model show evidence of corn price volatility transmission to wheat market. Our results indicate that while shocks (unexpected news) in crude oil market have significant ...

Leveraging in-house R&D competencies for a new market: how Corning pioneered fibre optics
This paper examines how established firms create new (radical) technologies by re-deploying existing knowledge into other domains than those in which that knowledge was originally accumulated. Drawing from the strategy and the innovation research, the analysis focuses on some of the mechanisms firms can use in developing a new technology. More specifically, we study the following mechanisms: the ...

No differences in decomposition rates observed between bacillus thuringiensis and non-bacillus thuringiensis corn residue incubated in the field
Recent speculation of slower residue decomposition for Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) corn (Zea mays L.) hybrids compared with non-Bt corn hybrids has prompted investigative study. We evaluated the residue decomposition rates of Bt and non-Bt corn hybrids over a period of 22 mo under field conditions using the litter bag technique. The four corn hybrids used were (i) DKC60–16 (Bt+, Cry1Ab protein ...

The Crunch Factor – Corn Chip Edition
Friday, January 29 was National Corn Chip Day. To celebrate, we took a closer look at this wonder of the snack world and are sharing the important role that moisture plays in the production of corn chips and snack foods in general. To get the scoop on corn chips, we spoke to Randy Rupprecht, QA Manager, and Mike Klein, Processing Manager, of Axium Foods. Every snack food has its own set of ...

The profitability and risk of long-term cropping systems featuring different rotations and nitrogen rates
Yield comparisons do not provide the appropriate basis for decision-making regarding cropping systems. The dominant factor influencing the adoption of cropping systems is economics. The objective of this 15-yr study was to evaluate the long-term effect of four N fertilization treatments on the economic returns of seven crop rotations in Wisconsin, based on annual market prices and production ...

Planting date and cultivar effects on grain yield in dryland corn production
Corn (Zea mays L.) production is gradually spreading into the Sudan savanna zone of West Africa where production is limited by erratic and inadequate rainfall. To increase corn production, production practices should be properly designed to minimize the effects of low precipitation and high temperatures that characterize the zone. A study, to determine the performance of late (120 d), early (90 ...

The StarLink controversy: the competing frames of risk disputes
The controversy over the containment of StarLink corn, a genetically modified product, is in many ways similar to risk disputes that have surrounded new technologies in the past. More than technical debates about the extent of risk, they are shaped by conflicting socio-political perspectives about the nature of risks, the ability of regulators to predict and control the effects of new ...

Adsorption kinetics of nitrate from aqueous solutions onto modified corn residue
The adsorption kinetics of nitrate from aqueous solutions onto Modified Corn Residue (MCR) was studied. The Raw Corn Residue (RCR) was modified by epichlorohydrin in the presence of pyridine, and the adsorption kinetics was investigated in batch experiments. The results showed that the MCR adsorbs nitrate effectively, and the maximum adsorption capacities were 80.84 mg g−1 and 72.73 mg g−1 at ...

Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of purple kernel streak in white food corn
Purple kernel streaking (PKS) in white food corn (Zea mays L.) is characterized by the accumulation of purple-pigmented streaks (anthocyanins) in an otherwise colorless pericarp. This paper is the first published report documenting PKS, the prevalence of the trait in commercial white food corn germplasm, and the genetics underlying it. Entries from the Early White Food Corn Performance Trials ...

An analysis of Bt corn's benefits and risks for national and regional policymakers considering Bt corn adoption
This paper examines important factors for policymakers to consider when making a decision to adopt Bt corn planting and commercialisation, by analysing the market, environmental, and health benefits and risks of Bt corn as well as current regulatory policies that may affect trade. Bt corn, genetically modified to produce a pesticidal protein, has benefits that include improved yield, decreased ...

Critical nitrogen curve and nitrogen nutrition index for corn in eastern canada
Plant-based diagnostic methods of N nutrition require the critical N concentration (Nc) to be defined, that is the minimum N concentration necessary to achieve maximum growth. A critical N curve (Nc = 34.0W–0.37 with W being shoot biomass in Mg DM ha–1), based on whole plant N concentration, was determined for corn (Zea mays L.) in France. Our objectives were to validate this critical N curve in ...

Closing markets to biotechnology: does it pose an economic risk if markets are globalised?
This paper compares international trading patterns for canola, corn and soybean varieties prior to commercialisation of the Genetically Modified (GM) varieties with present trading patterns that include GM varieties. Any marketplace changes that have occurred are analysed to determine the cause for any market shifts. GM canola, corn and soybeans entered the marketplace successfully, but some ...
