Effect of change in wheat prices on farm incomes http://trophort.com/research/001/004/... Soaring wheat prices have recently affected the welfare of farmers, middlemen, consumers and the government. The average farm income is projected to be the highest of any year during the past decades. Greater yields and grain prices more than offset higher costs of fertilizers and pesticides. Government subsidies contribute much less to net farm income due to the higher grain prices.
Monte-Carlo model in agriculture http://pomology.org/research/000/098/... In economics, the Monte Carlo model calculates the value of an option with multiple sources of uncertainty. If applied to agriculture, Markov chain Monte Carlo methods are used for multiple purposes such as forecasting changes in agricultural structure, establishing pollution hydrological model or simulating the solar radiation in crop canopies.
Biological pest control http://trophort.com/research/000/030/... Biological pest control is controlling particular pests by living organism. These organism can be predators, parasites, or diseases which attack the harmful insect pest. As part of an overall Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program, biological control methods can reduce but not completely substitute the input of pesticides.
