Abstract:
... The agronomic potential of 11 South American phosphate rocks was estimated by four laboratory methods (neutral ammonium citrate with two extractions, acid ammonium citrate [pH 3], 2% citric acid, and 2% formic acid) and by crop response data obtained from a greenhouse experiment with guinea grass (Panicum maximum Jacq.) on an acid (pH 4.9) Tropeptic Haplustox (Las Gaviotas) from Colombia. Standard ...

... A linear‐quadratic, dynamic feedback oligopoly model that nests various market structures is used to estimate the degree of competitiveness and the adjustment paths of the two largest coffee exporters, Brazil and Colombia. Their estimated behavior is relatively competitive. This subgame perfect dynamic model is compared to a standard static oligopoly model and the open‐loop model (the dynamic gene ...

Abstract:
... Acid soils cover approximately 30% of the global ice-free land area. Nearly 26 million hectares of maize (Zea mays L.) is already planted on acid soils. Maize yields are low on acidic soils because of toxicities of Al. Mn, and Fe, and deficiencies of P, Ca, Mg, and K. Acid-tolerant maize cultivars would be an environmentally friendly and relatively inexpensive method for improving maize production ...
