The implication of research methods on agricultural policy development: A case study of South African land redistribution by Olubode-Awosola, O. O., Schalkwyk, H.D. van

“…It may be demanding to use a more comprehensive and quantitative research strategy in policy analysis because of limited ability to integrate the technical-biophysical with the economic, marketing and political aspects when analysing policy effects. To exemplify this phenomenon, a forward-looking and prescriptive economic analysis that is being widely used in the developed world for agricultural policy analysis at each country's level; integrated development at regional level; and competitive participation in the globalisation, was adopted. …”

Quantification and modelling of water flow in rain-fed paddy fields in NE Thailand: evidence of soil salinization under submerged conditions by artesian groundwater by Hammecker, C., Maeght, J.L., Grunberger, O., Siltacho, S., Srisruk, K., Noble, A.D.

“…This is especially true for Northeast Thailand, where the agricultural land is affected by the soil salinity, which is a widespread and an increasing phenomenon affecting 25% of the agricultural land. Salinization appears as scattered discrete patches of 10-100 m2 in the lowlands, illustrated by white efflorescences during the dry season and bare soil during the cropping season. …”

Co-infections determine patterns of mortality in a population exposed to parasite infection by Woolhouse, Mark E.J., Thumbi, Samuel M., Jennings, A., Chase-Topping, M., Callaby, R., Kiara, Henry K., Oosthuizen, M.C., Mbole-Kariuki, Mary N., Conradie, I., Handel, Ian G., Poole, Elizabeth J., Njiiri, E., Collins, N.E., Murray, G., Tapio, M., Auguet, O.T., Weir, W., Morrison, W. Ivan, Kruuk, L.E.B., Bronsvoort, B.M. de C., Hanotte, Olivier H., Coetzer, K., Toye, Philip G.

“…Many individual hosts are infected with multiple parasite species, and this may increase or decrease the pathogenicity of the infections. This phenomenon is termed heterologous reactivity and is potentially an important determinant of both patterns of morbidity and mortality and of the impact of disease control measures at the population level. …”

Silencing of the glutathione biosynthetic pathway inhibits somatic embryogenesis in wheat by Bossio, Adrian Ezequiel, Diaz Paleo, Antonio Horacio, Del Vas, Mariana, Baroli, Irene, Acevedo, Alberto, Rios, Raul Daniel

“…Somatic embryogenesis in scutella of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a well documented phenomenon and it has been shown through transcriptome analysis that genes involved in antioxidant responses, particularly in glutathione (GSH) biosynthesis, participate in the process. …”

LIDAR as an alternative to passive collectors to measure pesticide spray drift by Gregorio, Eduard, Rosell-Polo, Joan R., Sanz, Ricardo, Rocadenbosch, Francesc, Solanelles, Francesc, Garcerá, Cruz, Chueca, Patricia, Arnó, Jaume, del Moral, Ignacio, Masip, Joan, Camp, Ferran, Viana, Rafael, Escola, Alexandre, Gracia, Felip, Planas, Santiago, Moltó, Enrique

“…A proper understanding of this phenomenon is essential to minimise these risks. However, most conventional methods used in drift measurement are based on point collectors which are unable to obtain information concerning the temporal or spatial evolution of the pesticide cloud. …”

Physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying graft compatibility. by Pina, Ana, Cookson, Sarah Jane, Calatayud, Ángeles, Trinchera, Alessandra, Errea, Pilar

“…Given the relative importance of graft compatibility throughout the world,there has been surprisingly little research dedicated to the study of this phenomenon. The large number of genotypes that can be combined by grafting produces a wide range of different physiological, biochemical and anatomical interactions to study, slowing down the progress in this research area. …”
