Double-cropping of soybeans and wheat is often promoted by extension personnel. This paper seeks to explain how the decision to adopt double-cropping is made, using a Tobit regression model. Tobit makes use of more of the information in the data set than do logit or probit and explains not only t...

In semiarid West Africa, inorganic fertilizer use and sustainability objectives are complementary. With increasing population pressure and low levels of purchased inputs, crop yields in many regions are declining. Moderate use of inorganic fertilizer is required for increasing yields in a sustain...

Per capita consumption of milk and meat products in developing Asia (including China) grew by 2.4 percent and 5 percent respectively between 1975-79 and 1990-94. This growth can be attributed to high growth rate in income and rapid urbanization. For Latin America, per capita milk and meat consump...
