  1. 1. Global and Ethiopian Cereal Prices: Does the Law of One Price hold in the long run?

    Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för nationalekonomi med statistik

    Författare :Heba Abbas; Borgström Annina; [2024-02-12]
    Nyckelord :Ethiopia; cereal; food prices LOP;

    Sammanfattning : Like many other countries in the world, Ethiopia is currently facing significant challenges with high food prices. The high food prices affect cereals such as teff, sorghum, and maize which are staple foods in the Ethiopian diet. This study investigates the relationship between cereal prices in Ethiopia and the world market price of cereals. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Assessing water balance and yields in Malawian cropping systems : maize soybean and maize Gliricidia systems resilience against climate change

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Författare :Danila Valeriano; [2024]
    Nyckelord :crop modelling; APSIM; Malawi; maize; soybean; Gliricidia; agroforestry; legume intercropping; climate predictions; climate adaptation; SDSM;

    Sammanfattning : In Malawi, maize monocultures are increasingly susceptible to extreme weather patterns, causing considerable yield reduction and heightened food insecurity for smallholder farmers dependent on rainfed subsistence agriculture. Diversifying cropping systems is crucial for ensuring yield resilience. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Pheromone-based mating disruption to control Spodoptera frugiperda in Tanzania: Possibilites and Constraints for smallholders

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Författare :Thomas O'Malley; [2024]
    Nyckelord :pheromone; mating disruption; fall armyworm; Tanzania; smallholder; Spodeptera frugiperda; integrated pest; management;

    Sammanfattning : Despite a growing interest in the use of pheromones as a more sustainable form of pest control, their use remains unstudied in the smallholder context. This paper is one of the first to study their use by small scale Tanzanian maize farmers to control the invasive pest Spodoptera frugiperda (known as fall armyworm). LÄS MER

  5. 4. Nutrient flow on agroforestry farms in the province of Son La in northwest Vietnam

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Vindenergi

    Författare :Tula Strotz; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Agroforestry; contouring grass rows; Guinea grass; nutrient losses; Vietnam; Gräsbarriärer; Höglandsodling; näringsförlust; Träjordbruk; Vietnam;

    Sammanfattning : The population in the high mountains of the northwest provinces of Vietnam belongs to the poorest population in the country. Among the reasons behind this are the high frequency of minority groups in the region and the infertile soils of the steep slopes. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Noggrannhet av RTK-GPS-positionering av enskilda frön vid precisionssådd

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

    Författare :Oskar Wikfeldt; Christoffer Pålsson Andersson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Agriculture; Individual plant care; RTK; GPS; GNSS; Geo-referencing; Seed mapping; Agriculture and Food Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : With higher demands on farmers to reduce the usage of fertilizers and pes ti cides because of their negative environmental impact, as well as the rising prices of resources required for agriculture, precision agriculture has become a big focus in today’s agriculture research. Individual plant care systems are a big part of precision agriculture, and accurate information about the po si tions of individual plants is required for these systems. LÄS MER
