Examining the relationship between farm size and productive efficiency: a Bayesian directional distance function approach by Khataza, R.R., Hailu, A., Doole, G.J., Kragt, M.E., Alene, A.

“…Using data from Malawi, we estimate a Bayesian directional technology distance function to examine the relationship between farm size and technical efficiency. Our results support the existence of an inverse relationship between farm size and productive efficiency, where small farms are more efficient than large farms. …”

Differences in arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization and P acquisition between genotypes of the tropical Brachiaria grasses: is there a relation with BNI activity? by Teutscherova, Nikola, Vázquez, Eduardo, Arévalo, Ashly, Pulleman, Mirjam Margreet, Rao, Idupulapati M., Arango, Jacobo

“…We hypothesized that (i) genotypes will differ in key variables related to P acquisition, and that there will be a positive correlation between (ii) arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) root colonization, P uptake, and BNI activity, and (iii) between the activity of acid and alkaline phosphomonoesterase and BNI performance. …”
