The Economic Impacts of Bioenergy Crop Production on U.S. Crop Production
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Torre Ugarte,   Daniel de la; Walsh,   Marie E.; Shapouri,   Hosein; Slinsky,   Stephen P.
In  response  to  energy  security  concerns,  alternative  energy  programs  such  as  biomass  energy  systems  are  being developed to provide energy in the 21st century. For the biomass industry to expand, a variety of feedstocks will need to be utilized. Large scale production of bioenergy crops could have significant impacts on the United States agricultural sector in terms of quantities, prices and production location of traditional crops as well as farm income. Though a number of scenarios were examined to study the impact of bioenergy crop production on the agricultural sector, two cropland scenarios are presented in this report. Under the wildlife management scenario, the analysis indicates that, at $30/dry  ton  (dt)  for  switchgrass,...

Economics of Alternative Crop Production in Arid Regions
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Curtis,   Kynda R.; Bishop,   Carol; Harris,   Thomas R.
As water resources in arid regions decline, agricultural producers are encouraged to adopt water conserving strategies. The implementation of alternative low-water use crops is one option, but is it economically feasible? Data on current and alternative crops for this study include enterprise budgets, producer interviews, and field trials in Northwestern Nevada, USA. We use WinEPIC, a Windows-based version of the EPIC model, which synthesizes both agronomics and economics, to model yields and returns of alternative crop production under differing irrigation levels. Risk analysis or the distribution of net returns to alternative crop production is also examined. This study determined that there are alternative crops that could be feasibly substituted for...

INDUSTRIAL HEMP AS AN ALTERNATIVE CROP IN NORTH DAKOTA
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Kraenzel,   David G.; Petry,   Timothy A.; Nelson,   Bill; Anderson,   Marshall J.; Mathern,   Dustin; Todd,   Robert.
This report is in response to a national and state interest in the potential benefits of industrial hemp as an alternative crop. Industrial hemp has many uses which can be categorized into nine submarkets.  North Dakota may have a comparative advantage in producing industrial hemp seed for oil because of the multi-oil processing facility in Carrington (AgGrow Oils) and the established infrastructure.  Industrial hemp is currently legally produced in 22 countries with Canada being the closest and is recognized as a legal and legitimate crop in both the NAFTA and GATT agreements.  The main obstacles for legalization of industrial hemp appear to be 1) law enforcement officials are concerned about the regulation, 2) no domestic facilities currently exist to...

Yield, quality, and nutríent uptake of stevia under continental Mediterranean climate
Provedor de dados: 109
Autores: Prieto,Javier Matías; Cruz Sobrado,Verónica.
Abstract Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) is gaining attention due to its sweetening power. The stevia crop is still relatively unknown in Europe, and very little is known about its nutrient requirements. Therefore, agronomic studies are needed. Field trials were carried out in inland Spain in 2014 and 2015, in order to evaluate the yield, quality, and nutrient requirements of stevia according to planting density and harvest regime, under a continental Mediterranean climate. In 2014, the dynamics of growth, quality and accumulation of nutrients were studied during the vegetative period according to three planting densities (5.0, 7.5, and 10.0 plants m-2). No significant influence was found. The steviol glycosides concentration decreased sharply at...
