An economic analysis of soybean pest management strategies in Virginia
… of this study were: (i) to estimate and compare net revenue associated with alternative pest management strategies for Virginia soybean producers, and (ii) to compare attractiveness of different pest management options when net revenue risk is considered in conjunction with the corresponding …

Aspects of risk programming
… used to obtain estimates of the variances of net revenue of the various crops considered. As was expected, the consideration of risk increased the importance of corn, the crop with the lowest unit level variance, and decreased the importance of tomatoes, a comparatively high risk crop. In the …

Sustainable agricultural management : a systems approach for examining food security tradeoffs
… increasing food-crop production and cash-crop revenue, while maintaining sustainability constraints that limit cropland expansion and prevent groundwater depletion. We apply the framework in India's Krishna river basin and find that reallocating resources to meet or exceed current production …

Airline passenger cancellations : modeling, forecasting and impacts on revenue management
… are important components in any airline revenue management (RM) system. Passenger cancellations can potentially lead to flights leaving with empty seats and thus to loss of revenues. Airlines need accurate cancellation forecasting tools in order to properly compensate for cancellations, …

ANALYSIS OF THE ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS OF PRECISION VITICULTURE. A CASE STUDY FROM MONTEFALCO SAGRANTINO DOCG
… assess how long-term climatic factors influence net revenue per hectare of Italian grape-growing and wine producing farms. When considering a +1°C increase in temperatures, results indicate a decrease in net revenue per hectare in Northern and Southern Italy (-5.95% when all Italy is considered). …

Development, implementation, and economic evaluation of an integrated pest management program for alfalfa in Virginia
… by 55% in 1980, 53% in 1981, and 28% in 1982. A net benefit analysis the Virginia Alfalfa IPM program indicated that growers participating in the program during 1981-84 realized an estimated average increase in net revenue of $8.80 per hectare from the alfalfa weevil scouting program, and $28.13 …

A farm-level model to evaluate the impacts of current energy policy options
… criteria: profitability (measured as total revenue less variable and semi-fixed costs), efficiency of support energy use and marginal products of inputs. Generally, results show that net revenue maximising farm systems are resistant to change under very large energy price increases, despite …

Value of soil sampling and optimal sampling density for a variable rate seed application
… while there is little research calibrating the monetary value of grid soil sampling by its density. This study evaluates the value of soil sampling in terms of estimated profit to farmers by comparing variable densities of sampling data from five samples per ha to quarter samples per hectare. To …

Gender-differentiated constraints in Malian semi-subsistence production: implication for integrated pest management and food security
… decisions on the attainment of food security and net revenue maximization for farmers located in the Koulikoro region of rural Mali. A linear programming model is used to determine how gender-differentiated constraints, size of the household, and potential integrated pest management (IPM) …
