  1. Impact of off‐farm income on food expenditures in rural Bangladesh: an unconditional quantile regression approach by Mishra, Ashok K., Mottaleb, Kh. A., Mohanty, Samarendu

    Published 2015
    “…The findings suggest that the impacts of off‐farm income are uniformly positive across the unconditional quantile regression and significantly increase food consumption expenditures for all quantiles, except for the 25th quantile. In addition, we found that schooling, experience, and location of the household increase the food expenditures of rural households. …”

  2. Economic impacts of integrated pest management (IPM) farmer field schools (FFS): evidence from onion farmers in the Philippines by Sanglestsawai, Santi, Rejesus, Roderick M., Yorobe, Jose M.

    Published 2015
    “…But we do not find any evidence that the IPM‐FFS training program significantly affects yield and the other inputs. …”

  3. Relay sowing of lentil (Lens culinaris subsp culinaris) to intensify rice-based cropping by Malik, A.I., Ali, M.O., Zaman, M.S., Flower, K., Rahman, M.M., Erskine, W.

    Published 2016
    “…It was also assessed on ten farms in Western Bangladesh, comparing relay with sole cropping over 3 years. Flowering in the early-flowering lentil lines was consistently 917 days earlier, than the control cultivars, but they did not achieve an economic yield (<1·0 t/ha). …”

  4. Confirmation of chloride deficiency as the cause of leaf spotting in durum wheat grown in the Australian northern grains region by Schwenke, G.D., Simpfendorfer, S.R., Collard, B. C. Y.

    Published 2015
    “…Four Australian durum and four Australian bread wheat varieties were grown, along with a North American variety of each, in a glasshouse experiment using a sterile sand–vermiculite mix and nutrient solutions containing 0 (nil), 0.5, 1.0 or 2.0 mm Cl–. …”

  5. Variability and synchronism of leaf appearance and leaf elongation rates of eleven contrasting rice genotypes by Egle, Rohilyn B., Domingo, Abigail J., Bueno, Crisanta, Laurena, Antonio, C., Aguilar, Edna A., Santa Cruz, Pompe, Clerget, Benoit

    Published 2015
    “…Maximal leaf elongation rate (LER) of all genotypes (except for one) increased linearly with leaf rank until it reached its maximum value at leaf 8 to 10 (11 - 12 for Azucena) where it stabilized before decreasing linearly with leaf rank for the last leaves. …”

  6. Complementarity of two rice mapping approaches: characterizing strata mapped by hypertemporal MODIS and rice paddy identification using multitemporal SAR by Asilo, Sonia, de Bie, Kees, Skidmore, Andrew, Nelson, Andrew, Barbieri, Massimo, Maunahan, Aileen

    Published 2014
    “…Results showed that multitemporal high spatial resolution SAR data is effective for mapping rice areas and flooding/transplanting dates with an overall accuracy of 90% and a kappa of 0.72 and that hypertemporal moderate-resolution optical imagery is effective for the basic characterization of rice areas with an overall accuracy that ranged from 62% to 87% and a kappa of 0.52 to 0.72. …”
