Dwarf mistletoes exert an impact on forest productivity, but this impact can be reduced through management practices. Even infested stands can yield considerable volumes if proper control methods are used. Projections of future yield increases due to control efforts are made. Cost of treatment in fiscal year 1973 was $51...
El Salvador's land resources are intensively cultivated.
Labor is relatively abundant and wages are low. This study
analyzed the effects of government policies and observed farm
price distortions on enterprise/weed control system choices
and associated income-employment effects.
A regional linear programming framework was employed to
analyze the effects of alternative...
This document is one of a series of research reports prepared by Oregon State University during the 197Os which focuses on the field burning problem of Oregon's Willamette Valley. The purpose of such research efforts is to assist both the private and public sectors of Oregon in identifying technically feasible,...
Feedlot finishing of beef cattle in Southern Alberta involves
income risk due to the variability of prices of feeders, feed and
finished cattle. Several strategies are available to reduce this
risk, including hedging of cattle on feed, participation in a Federal-
Provincial government and producer established income stabilization
program for...
This publication is prepared as a public service by faculty members at Oregon State University in response to a perceived need for information on field burning. The report has been prepared as a reference and source document for 1989 legislative and agency deliberations on further adjustments in thermal sanitation of...
Agricultural production in the Sahelian region of Africa is
among the lowest in the world. Cyclical infestations of locusts and
grasshoppers have contributed to this low productivity. The infestations
appear to be triggered by heavy rainfall at the beginning of a crop season
after extended drought. Because locusts and grasshoppers...
Three data sets were examined to determine the costs with and without
constrained forest management practices. Two adjacent sites in the Coast Range of
Oregon were studied. One of the units was broadcast burned while the adjacent site was
left unburned. The stands were projected for growth and yield in...
