Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1993, over one-third of Kansas wheat acres were seeded to varieties with milling and baking qualities ranked “less desirable,” stimulating interest in the determinants of wheat variety selection. Regression analysis is used to quantify the relationship between planted varieties and wheat characteristics relating to production and end-use qualities. Results indicate that Kansas wheat producers consider end-use qualities, production characteristics, relative yields, yield stability, and past production decisions when selecting wheat varieties. Simulation results reveal potential tradeoffs facing wheat breeders and seed dealers. Time paths of adoption are projected for potential improvements in wheat yields and quality characteristics.
Book Synopsis An Economic Analysis of Wheat Variety Selection in Kansas, 1990-2016 by : Jiajing He
Download or read book An Economic Analysis of Wheat Variety Selection in Kansas, 1990-2016 written by Jiajing He and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1990 to 2016, the Kansas wheat varieties with milling and baking quality rated as "Less Desirable" accounted for 22% of all wheat acres planted, compared with 36% during the period 1974 to 1993. Thus, wheat producers have selected wheat varieties with lower end-use quality over time. Regression analysis was used to identify and quantify the determinants of planted wheat varieties in Kansas over the time period 1990 to 2016. The results show that Kansas wheat producers make variety decisions primarily based on relative yield and previously planted varieties. Wheat producers also consider the end-use qualities on test weight and milling and baking quality. There were more varieties planted in 1990-2016 than during the 1974-1993 period, and producers have planted with a greater emphasis on yield than other production characteristics.

Download or read book Economic Analysis of Diversity in Modern Wheat written by Erika C.H. Meng and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific breeding in the twentieth century greatly accelerated wheat`s evolution, producing high-yielding varieties that helped avoid famine in many developing countries. Emerging scientific tools hold promise for identifying and tapping new, useful genetic diversity within wheat`s primary and secondary gene pools and, through genetic engineering, beyond.The book describes generally how policies affect wheat genetic diversity; it looks at historical changes in wheat genetic diversity, as policy and priorities have evolved; it identifies factors that explain changes and differences in spatial diversity; and finally, it analyzes the productivity impacts of changes in diversity. Chapters define various types of crop genetic diversity and ways to measure them, framing the definitions and metrics in the contexts for which they are most relevant.

This book was released on 2007-06-11 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those who study global poverty and ways to reduce it face a perennial set of questions: Do advances in knowledge, research, and technology make a real difference in the lives of poor people? What effect does research have on the poor? Who benefits? The contributors to Agricultural Research, Livelihoods, and Poverty shed light on these questions through a collection of case studies that explore the types of impact that agricultural research has had on livelihoods and poverty in low-income countries.

Book Synopsis The Economics of Soybean Disease Control by : Nicholas Kalaitzandonakes
Download or read book The Economics of Soybean Disease Control written by Nicholas Kalaitzandonakes and published by CABI. This book was released on 2019-04-08 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worldwide soybean crop yields can achieve USD$130 billion per year in farm-level sales, but around 13% of these yields are lost to disease. Effective disease management could generate significant economic benefits, and while disease management strategies do exist, their application remains limited among producers, often due to an incomplete understanding of disease incidence and severity, as well as perceived complexities of these strategies and a lack of information regarding success rates. This book presents an economic perspective on disease control, with an emphasis on producer choice among alternative technologies and potential changes in cropping systems. It provides an overview of global soybean diseases, their economic significance and management, and covers farm-level decision making, economic payoffs of alternative disease practices and key uncertainties. The book also outlines a global economic model that evaluates disease distribution and management implications. This text is recommended for students and researchers in plant pathology and agricultural economics, as well as professionals in the soybean production industry.
