Investigations were carried out to study how plant production enterprises operating in the West-Transdanubian region of Hungary relate to risk management; how they view, in terms of risk factors, the production, market, financial, technological, legal and human elements affecting production....

The risk effects of irrigation scheduling in a sub-humid climate have been well documented recently using approximations of the variance of net returns. A method to determine the exact variance of net returns assuming only multivariant normality is presented. The approximation technique in...

An economic threshold of agricultural pest management is derived. Results provide a method for researchers to use in making improved pest control recommendations to farmers without farm level decision-making. An empirical illustration for lesion nematode management in irrigated corn is given and...

Aszőlő rügyfakadási időpontjának modellezése és előrejelzése növényvédelmi és gazdasági szempontból nélkülözhetetlen lépés a szőlőtermelésben. Tanulmányunkat öt fehérborszőlő-fajta (Chardonnay, Rajnai rizling, Hárslevelű, Pinot blanc és Szürkebarát), valamint...

The purpose of this study was to determine the economic risk efficiency of implementing a boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis [Boheman]) eradication (BWE) program in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) producing regions of the Mississippi Delta. Alternative producer pest management practices and program...

Risk analysis continues to emphasize price and yield variability as the principal components of the decision-maker's risk environment. This research demonstrates the relative importance of financial risk for a representative cotton farm in Arizona. For highly leveraged operations, financial risk...
