On the Doorstep of the Information Age
The adoption of precision agriculture, which encompasses a suite of farm-level information technologies, can improve the efficiency of input use and reduce environmental harm from the overapplication of inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides. Still, the adoption of precision agricultural technologies and practices has been less rapid than envisioned a decade ago. Using Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) data collected over the past 10 years, this report examines trends in the adoption of four key information technologies-yield monitors, variable-rate application technologies, guidance systems, and GPS maps-in the production of major field crops. While yield monitoring is now used on over 40 percent of U.S. grain crop acres, very few producers have adopted GPS maps or variable-rate input application technologies.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Bioethanol Fuel Production Concept Study
The DOE is in the process of developing technologies for converting plant matter other than feed stock, e.g., corn stover, into biofuels. The goal of this research project was to determine what the farming community thinks of ethanol as a fuel source, and specifically what they think of bioethanol produced from corn stover. This project also assessed the image of the DOE and the biofuels program and determined the perceived barriers to ethanol-from-stover production.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

璽€œNo-Till璽€ Farming Is a Growing Practice
Most U.S. farmers prepare their soil for seeding and weed and pest control through tillage-plowing operations that disturb the soil. Tillage practices affect soil carbon, water pollution, and farmers' energy and pesticide use, and therefore data on tillage can be valuable for understanding the practice's role in reaching climate and other environmental goals. In order to help policymakers and other interested parties better understand U.S. tillage practices and, especially, those practices' potential contribution to climate-change efforts, ERS researchers compiled data from the Agricultural Resource Management Survey and the National Resources Inventory-Conservation Effects Assessment Project's Cropland Survey. The data show that approximately 35.5 percent of U.S. cropland planted to eight major crops, or 88 million acres, had no tillage operations in 2009.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Evaluation of Pretreatments of Biomass for Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Cellulose
One principal barrier to economic utilization of lignocellulosic feedstocks in enzymatic systems for the production of alcohol fuels is a cost-effective pretreatment. The objective of a pretreatment is to render the cellulose susceptible to enzymatic hydrolysis. The lignin and hemicellulose fractions need to be partially or totally removed to enhance the hydrolysis. This report presents a detailed discussion of the physiochemical characteristics of lignocellulosics that must be considered it the development of successful pretreatment. Engineering and economic assessments are presented for key pretreatments based on organic solvent extraction (organosolv), explosive decompression (steam explosion), and wet oxidation. These assessments include process flowsheets, capital and operating cost summaries, and parametric analyses comparing the effects of various raw material and utility costs. Based on the cost of cellulose pulp produced, these pretreatments are competitive with pulping processes currently used in the paper industry. The pretreatment and feedstock costs contribute a significant amount--over 50% in most cases--of the cost of ethanol production. Recommendations are presented for a program of process-specific and integrated pretreatment-hydrolysis research.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

On The Scientific Principles Of Agriculture Considered As A Branch Of Public Education In India
"On The Scientific Principles Of Agriculture Considered As A Branch Of Public Education In India" by Henry Piddington, originally printed for private circulation in 1839, explores the crucial intersection of agricultural science and public education within the Indian context. This historically significant work advocates for integrating scientific methodologies into agricultural practices to enhance productivity and sustainability. Piddington's treatise offers insights into the educational strategies deemed essential for disseminating agricultural knowledge and fostering innovation among Indian farmers. It highlights the importance of viewing agriculture not merely as a traditional occupation but as a field grounded in scientific understanding. This publication serves as a valuable resource for those interested in the history of agricultural science, educational reform in India, and the enduring relevance of scientific principles in addressing agricultural challenges.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Adaptation Strategies and Perceptions of Moroccan Farmers Facing Climate Change
The present study addresses climate change and its impact on yields and agricultural production in the province of Khemisset, an area considered among the most vulnerable to climate change in the Rabat-Sal矇-Kenitra region. The methodology employed combines quantitative and qualitative research approaches. The tools used for data processing include descriptive statistics and principal components analysis (SPSS). In total, 120 research units were surveyed in four rural communes. The peasant community is not homogeneous; four categories of producers (young farmers, adults, men and women, large and small farm operators, etc.) have been identified to analyze perceptions and peasant strategies developed based on soil type (Byad, Tirs, Hamri, and Rmel), vegetation, and livestock. The main conclusions derived from the study's results are: an unfavourable evolution of climate parameters was observed over the last two decades (1985-2015); virtually all producers in the studied area perceive a negative evolution of the various climate parameters, which is consistent in most cases with meteorological data analysis (DMN); changes and climate variability have negative impacts on agriculture; the local populations have a good understanding of the evolution of agricultural yields. Some peasants in Zemmour respond to the effects of climate change by using fertilizers, crop rotation, early crop varieties, and other types of adaptations. By contrast, many peasants do not develop a strategy for responding to global warming.

This research aimed to examine the effects of wild animal destruction on food security, agricultural productivity, and sustainability in Pahala Lenagala Grama Niladhari division, Kagalle district, Sabaragamuwa province, Sri Lanka. This study explores the effects of wild animals on crop yields, including an in-depth review of the species implicated, the most impacted crops, and the financial consequences for nearby farmers. This study explores potential mitigation measures for crop damage caused by wildlife, providing insights into balancing agricultural output with wildlife conservation. This work is essential reading for those interested in sustainable agriculture, wildlife management, and the challenges faced by rural populations in Sri Lanka.
Anatomical Description, Ecology and Biotechnology of Huizache
Huizache is one of the most important shrubs or small trees in disturbed areas of the dry regions of Mexico. The genus Vachellia includes approximately 1,300 species that are widely distributed across tropical regions worldwide. In Mexico, around 84 species are recognized as native, with 30 of them being endemic. The aim of this book is to describe the characteristics and properties of the species Vachellia farnesiana (L.) Wight & Arn., including its anatomical description, as well as to address relevant aspects of biotechnology, ecology, and the use of this species for the remediation of abiotic stress. The morphology of V. farnesiana, including its fruits, leaves, stem, and flowers, is described in detail. No prior studies were found on the anatomical description of the huizache, possibly due to the limited attention given to desert species, as most are not considered commercially valuable for timber. These plants are commonly propagated via seeds, but this can be challenging due to their slow germination rates. Generally, woody plants are difficult to regenerate in vitro, but there have been successes, particularly with trees in the Fabaceae family. Species of the genus Vachellia, including V. farnesiana, possess properties that confer remarkable phytoremediation capacity, demonstrating great efficacy in absorbing heavy metals and organic compounds. Despite its importance, the huizache faces various threats, such as deforestation and climate change, which has created a need to implement conservation strategies and sustainable management for this species.
Tree and Forest Biomass Carbon Models in China
This book is composed of four chapters, which are based on four carefully selected articles from the great amount of works published by the same author. The first chapter describes the methodology of tree biomass modeling through a case study on construction of compatible and additive individual tree biomass models for Pinus tabulaeformis. The second chapter provides tree above- and below-ground biomass models and carbon factors for 34 species in China. The third chapter presents forest biomass and carbon storage models for three categories (coniferous, broadleaves, and mixed), 20 types and 74 sub-types. The fourth chapter estimates the changes of forest carbon storage for 70 years (1949-2018). The tree and forest biomass carbon models presented in this book can serve as a solid foundation for accurately estimating the status and changes of forest biomass and carbon storage in China.
