Abstract: Integrated weed management for conservation
tillage systems is needed so producers can minimize the
environmental impacts of crop production while maintaining
effective weed control and profitability. Reduced levels of
herbicides and rotary hoeing were evaluated in combination with
interrow cultivation for weed control in corn (Zea mays L.)
planted into chisel-plowed or untilled seedbeds. Atrazine [6-
chloro-N-ethyl-N'-(1-methylethyl)-1,3,5-triazine 2,4-diamine] at
1.1 kg a.i. ha-1 or cyanazine [2-[[4-chloro-6-(ethylamino)-1,3,5-
triazin-2-yl]amino] 2-methylpropanenitrile] at 1.7 kg a.i. ha-1
applied within 2 d after corn planting greatly reduced weed
growth compared with no herbicide use. These reduced herbicide
treatments often controlled weeds as well as a standard full-rate
treatment (atrazine at 1.6 kg ha-1 plus 2.0 kg a.i. ha-1
metolachlor [2-chloro-N-(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-N-(2-methoxy-1
methylethyl) acetamide]) prior to cultivation in both tillage
systems. In the chisel-plow experiment, rotary hoeing was not
as effective as atrazine or ganazine in reducing early-season
weed growth. In most cases, one or two interrow cultivations
following atrazine or cyanazine increased weed control and corn
grain yield to levels similar to the full-rate treatment in both
the chisel-plow and no-tillage systems. Integrating interrow
cultivation with reduced levels of herbicide maintained weed
control and corn yield compared with the full-rate treatment and
is an effective weed management option for corn planted in
conservation tillage systems.

Abstract: In 1989, a group of researchers, farmers
and farm advisors initiated an interdisciplinary study of the
transition from conventional to low-input and organic management
of a 4-year, five-crop rotation. Crop yields initially varied
among systems, but now appear to be approaching each other
after a transition period that included the development of
practices and equipment most appropriate for each system. Farming
practices and crop production costs are carefully documented to
compare the various systems' economic performance and biological
risk. Supplying adequate N and managing weeds were challenges for
the low-input and organic systems during the first rotation
cycle, and experiments are being conducted on an 8-acre
companion block to find solutions to these and other problems.
Leading conventional and organic growers provide a much needed
farmer perspective on cropping practices and economic
interpretations, because we try to provide "best farmer"
management of each system. Research groups within the project are
focusing on soil microbiology, economics, pest management,
agronomy and cover crop management.

Descriptors: rural-communities; agricultural-structure;

Abstract: The transformation of agriculture according to
an industrial model has had clear benefits in improving
efficiency and lowering production costs, but also has had
adverse consequences on rural culture and the environment.
Sustainable agriculture offers alternative practices and values
intended to promote environmental stewardship, conserve
resources, preserve farm traditions, and support rural
communities. Strong arguments can be made that it will have
these consequences, based on the interactions among
agricultural structure, rural community viability, and
environmental quality. However, counterarguments can also be
made, and the claimed benefits of sustainable agriculture for
rural communities must be regarded as not yet demonstrated.

Labor and production barriers to the reduction of

Fall)
Includes references.
Descriptors: agricultural-chemicals; application-rates;
labor; production; farm-management; farm-inputs
Abstract: Advocates of sustainable agriculture consider
farmer flexibility and innovativeness a key element in efforts to
develop farm practices that reduce chemical inputs. In contrast
to labor displacing technologies, farming with reduced chemical
inputs may increase labor demands. Consequently, concerns about
labor supply may affect farmer adaptability in reducing chemical
inputs. This research addresses two specific questions. First,
how concerned are farmers about the availability of labor needed
to reduce chemical inputs? Second, do farmers view production
problems as insurmountable without chemicals because of labor
constraints? The majority of farmers surveyed agree that it is
difficult to reduce chemical inputs because additional labor is
hard to find, and their own labor inputs would have to
increase. Results of OLS regression analysis show that whether
the farmer hires workers affects the relationship between
perceived labor and production barriers. Labor supply is less
elastic for farmers who hire no labor, and they have less
access to social networks that would provide them with sources of
the additional workers needed if chemical inputs were reduced.
The significance of these results for the development of sources
of information that enhance farmer adaptability is discussed.

Abstract: Low-contaminant jarosite (LCJ), with 1.1%
N, 4.7% Zn, and 11% S, is a potential fertilizer source,
but its use may create toxic conditions. This material was
compared with standard fertilizers in glasshouse experiments and
the effect of the application of jarosite to soils on the
concentrations of heavy metals in plants was also investigated.
On the basis of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yields, LCJ is
about 5% as effective in supply N as NH4NO3. On the basis of Zn
concentration in plant tops, LCJ was about 80% as effective as
ZnSO4 in supplying Zn to wheat. Based on S concentrations in
clover (Trifolium spp.) tops, LCJ was 30 and 60% as effective
as CaSO4 in supplying S on light and heavy-textured soils,
respectively. Application of LCJ to soils resulted in elevated
concentrations of Cd, Cu, and Zn in plant tissue. The
increase in Cd concentration was such that it is unlikely that
LCJ could be recommended as a fertilizer for plants grown for
human or animal consumption.

Abstract: Protection of ground water quality is of
considerable importance to local, state, and federal
governments. This study uses a 15-year mathematical programming
model to evaluate the effectiveness of low-input agriculture,
under alternative policy scenarios, as a strategy to protect
ground water quality in Richmond County, Virginia. The analysis
considers eight policy alternatives: cost-sharing for green
manures, two restrictions on atrazine applications levels,
chemical taxation, a restriction on potential chemical and
nitrogen levels in ground water only and in surface and ground
water, and two types of land retirement programs. The CREAMS
and GLEAMS models were used to estimate nitrate and chemical
leaching from the crop root zone. The economic model evaluates
production practices, policy constraints, and water quality
given a long-term profit maximizing objective. The results
indicate that low-input agriculture alone may not be an effective
groundwater protection strategy. The policy impacts include
partial adoption of low-input practices, land retirement, and
the substitution of chemicals. Only mandatory land retirement
policies reduced all chemical and nutrient loadings or ground
water; however, they did not promote the use of low- input
agricultural practices.

Abstract: An untrained panel evaluated five apple
cultivars [Malus domestica Borkh. cvs. Liberty, Prima,
Priscilla, and Freedom (all scab resistant) and Spur Red
Delicious (Bisbee strain)] in 1988 and 1989 to determine consumer
acceptability and opinion of quality. Testers evaluated fruit for
five quality characteristics (texture, juiciness, aroma,
tartness, and sweetness) plus overall quality in a random,
blind taste test on 30 Sept. 1988. Testers consistently
identified 'Spur Red Delicious' (9% soluble solids content) as
undesirable for all attributes. Tasters could not discern
differences in juiciness among the cultivars. 'Freedom' was rated
excellent, 'Liberty' and 'Prima' very good to good, and
'Priscilla' good in overall quality. In a separate blind,
random preference test, 'Freedom', 'Liberty', and 'Prima'
received higher preference ratings than 'Priscilla'. The taste
tests were repeated using the same five cultivars on 3 Oct. 1989.
'Freedom' and 'Liberty' received the highest ratings for overall
quality. Freedom received the highest preference ratings.
Results, in general, were consistent from year to year. Since
we tested only one strain of 'Red Delicious', we cannot
conclude from this work that resistant cultivars are preferred to
any standard; however, we can conclude that resistant cultivars
are acceptable to the consumer.

Abstract: Slash and burn farmers in the tropical rain
forests of eastern Bolivia are abandoning land after one rice
(Oryza sativa L.) crop because of declining yields. A trial was
conducted on a Typic Paleudult for 41 mo to investigate whether
alternative low-input nonmechanized cropping systems could
prolong soil fertility and yield maintenance, and whether soil
fertility or weeds were responsible for declining yields. Twelve
cropping systems were investigated in a factorial design, with
three summer-winter crop sequences: rice-peanut (Arachis
hypogaea L.), corn (Zea mays L.)-bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
later substituted by cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.], and
rice-fallow (control); two weed control treatments: minimal and
optimal; and two fertilizer treatments: with and without 60 kg N
ha(-1) and 17.5 or 35 kg P ha(-1). Crop sequences significantly
increased exchangeable acidity; the rice sequences significantly
reduced exchangeable Ca, and corn- bean/cowpea and rice-peanut
significantly reduced exchangeable Mg. Fertilization
significantly increased soil P but decreased Ca. Foliar analysis
revealed N, Mg, and Zn deficiencies in all cropping systems.
Rice yields, unlike corn, were significantly increased by
optimal weeding. Corn yields were dominated by fertilization,
whereas rice yields were mainly influenced by fertilization in
the first and fourth years, and by weeds in the intervening
years. Without fertilizers, rice- fallow was not sustainable,
and only corn-bean/cowpea was sustainable for 3 yr. With
fertilization, rice-fallow plus optimal weed control and corn-
bean/cowpea with minimal or optimal weeding were sustainable for
3 yr. Additional fertilization and future liming.

Mandatory supply controls versus flexibility policy

Includes references.

Abstract: We analyzed two sets of farm policy options,
representing different ideological approaches to government
involvement in agriculture, to estimate their effects on the
relative economic attractiveness of "sustainable" and
"conventional" farming systems. The mandatory supply control
approach, through strict acreage limitations on program crops,
represents a strong government role in commodity supply
management. The Normal Crop Acreage approach on the other hand,
allows farmers greater flexibility in deciding what crops to
grow. We used economic models of five pairs of case study farms
in different agroclimatic areas of South Dakota, covering corn-
soybean, spring wheat, and winter wheat growing regions.
Mandatory restrictions on the planted acreage of "program"
crops, including soybeans, were found to favor the
conventional systems, because they induced high prices for
crops that predominate in conventional systems, especially
corn, soybeans, and wheat. In principle, however,
mandatory acreage controls could require compliance with certain
sustainable agriculture practices. Normal Crop Acreage (NCA)
proposals can encourage greater use of sustainable farming
systems. Where conventional corn and soybean production is
relatively profitable, as in parts of eastern South Dakota,
NCA options by themselves appear insufficient to induce change
overs to sustainable cropping systems. In wheat growing areas of
northern and western South Dakota, however, where the two
systems often are about equally profitable, NCA policies could
promote sustainable systems, particularly if deficiency
payments are not reduced for harvesting legumes and other non-
program crops on NCA base. To have this positive effect, NCA
policies must be introduced gradually and structured to limit
adverse effects on the markets for legumes and other non-program
crops that are important in sustainable rotations.

on budget analysis. Results are analyzed using an algorithm based
on multiattribute decision theory. A corn-soybean rotation using
low input levels and minimum tillage on high-productivity soil,
and continuous corn using low input levels and minimum tillage
on low-productivity soil are in the preferred set regardless of
whether profits or preserving the environment is the first
priority for the decision maker.

Abstract: Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi
colonize plant roots and the surrounding bulk soil. They
transport mineral nutrients from the soil to the plant and carbon
compounds from the plant to the soil, and have pervasive
effects on plant form and function and on the composition of the
soil microbiota. This experiment evaluated VAM effects on plants
and soil to determine if VAM fungi mediate a relationship between
changes in seed yield and soil aggregation. In a pot experiment
with peas, an isolate of the VAM fungus Glomus mosseae (Nicol &
Gerd.) Gerd. and Trappe did not significantly affect seed yield
(8%), but improved soil aggregation by 400% in one soil, a
gray silt-loam high in organic matter (OM) and phosphorus. In
another soil, a yellow clay-loam low in OM and phosphorus,
seed yield was enhanced significantly (57%), but there was
only a small change (50%) in aggregation. The results suggest
that carbon allocation between the plant (measured as seed yield)
and the soil (measured as the formation of water-stable
aggregates) is influenced by this VAM fungus. The soil appeared
to gain carbon at the expense of carbon lost by the plant.
Mycorrhizal fungi thus seem to affect two biologically controlled
aspects of sustainable

Abstract: Economic and environmental incentives to
accurately predict corn (Zea mays L.) N requirements emphasize
the need to assign appropriate N credits for soybean (Glycine max
L.) in soybean-corn crop sequences. This study was conducted to
determine corn response to N and N credits for soybean in crop
sequences. The effects of corn-corn (CC), soybean-corn (SbC),
and soybean-corn-corn (SbCC) crop. differing in climatic and
soil characteristics. Four-year mean yields in SbC were 1.4 and
2.2 Mg ha-1 higher than in CC at two sites with nonirrigated silt
loam soils, but yield effects due to crop sequence were small
on an irrigated sandy soil. Corn response to applied N varied
markedly among the three sites and between years at the sites on
silt loam soils. Mean corn N uptake in SbC was higher (51 kg N
ha-1) than in CC on silt loam soils but not on the sandy soil.
Soybean N credits estimated with a fertilizer replacement value
(FRV) approach and from the difference in N rates at maximum
yield in SbC and CC sequences (DNM) differed markedly among
locations and years and ranged from -22 to 210 kg N ha-1.
Soybean provided little N to subsequent crops on sandy soils due
to probable loss of residue N through leaching prior to use by
the following crop. On silt loam soils, crop sequence effects
on yield and N uptake indicate soybean. actual soybean N
contributions. Site-specific diagnostic tests are needed to
improve crediting of N supplied by soybean in crop sequences.

Abstract: A novel approach is described for using two
winter annual legumes - hairy vetch (Vicia villosa L. Roth.) and
'Mt. Barker' subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) - as
cover crops and plant mulches in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum
Mill.) production. The approach calls for sowing the cover crops
in the fall in prepared beds, mowing the cover crops with a
high-speed flail mower immediately before transplanting the
tomato seedlings into the field in early May, and then
transplanting the seedlings into the beds with minimal
interruption of the soil or mulch cover. Plants in the vetch
treatment with no tillage produced a higher yield than those
grown under black polyethylene, paper, or no mulch in
conventional systems. Both plant mulches delayed fruit maturity
by approximately 10 days relative to black polyethylene mulch.
The proposed approach eliminates tillage, reduces the need for
applying synthetic fertilizers and herbicides, and is adapted
to large- and small-scale tomato production in a low-input, no-
tillage system. It also may be used to produce other vegetables.

Abstract: Farmer-researcher partnerships are needed to
ensure soil and crop management practices are productive,
environmentally safe, economically sound, and socially
acceptable. We developed a farmer-researcher partnership to
compare nutrient, labor, energy, and economic budgets for
two "conventional" 40-acre fields where a 2-yr corn (Zea mays L.)
and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] rotation is used with those
for two adjacent fields where a 5-yr corn, soybean, corn,
oat (Avena sativa L.), and hay rotation is used. Conventional
fields received commercial fertilizer and herbicides. Alternative
fields received no herbicides and a mixture of animal manure plus
municipal sewage sludge as the primary nutrient source. A 10-yr
nutrient budget suggests that N2 fixation would have to provide
at least 53% of the N removed by soybean grain to prevent
depletion of soil organic matter or other soil N sources from
conventional fields. By assuming similar amounts of N fixation in
the alternative fields, we show that 962 lb N/acre, 244 lb
P/acre, and 844 lb K/acre were applied (or fixed) in excess of
crop removal. Soil- test P, K, and organic matter changes
reflect these applications. More fieldwork hours per acre per
year were required to handle manure, avoid using herbicides,
and harvest hay than to use conventional practices. Energy
budgets were dependent on whether nutrients in the manure plus
municipal sludge were considered as (i) an input cost for the
crop, or (ii) a disposal cost that should be charged against an
animal enterprise. Economic budgets were dependent on assumptions
made regarding how to account for management costs. Overall,
developing farmer-researcher partnerships was an effective
method for evaluating alternative.

A perspective on the economic impacts of reducing

analysis; economic-impact; farm-income; farm-surveys; field-

Abstract: Adoption of agricultural practices that reduce
or eliminate chemical use creates tradeoffs among yields and
output, production costs and net income at the farm level. If
widespread adoption is to occur, potential improvements in
human health and the environment from reduced chemical use must
be weighed against effects on aggregate farm income and consumer
food prices. At present, these tradeoffs are subject to
considerable debate. I review available farm level and aggregate
economic studies of reductions in total agricultural chemical
use. At the farm level, available studies suggest that organic
and low-input farming systems result in declines in per acre
yields and in lower net returns than most conventional farming
systems, although the studies do indicate that net returns for
the two systems can be comparable under some conditions. Several
studies suggest that low-input systems perform well with respect
to risk criteria. I also discuss the potential influence of
government programs on the profitability of some low-input
farming systems. All aggregate economic models conclude that
widespread adoption of organic farming would result in decreased
yields, decreased aggregate output, increased farm income,
and large increases in consumer prices. These models have
limitations, however. Recommendations are made for further
economic research of the impacts of reducing agricultural
chemical use at both the farm and aggregate levels.

Potential effects on rural economies of conversion to
sustainable farming systems.
Dobbs, T. L.; Cole, J. D. Am-J-Alternative-Agric
v.7(1/2): p.70-80. (1992)
Includes references.
Descriptors: alternative-farming; farm-income;
sustainability; rural-economy; multipliers; cost-benefit-
analysis; south-dakota
Abstract: Conversions from conventional to sustainable
farming systems could affect local rural economies either
positively or negatively, by several means: changes in income
of agricultural households; backward linkages to input supply
firms; forward linkages to transportation, processing, and
marketing firms; and changes in consumer expenditures by
agricultural and other households. We estimated these effects for
five local rural economies in South Dakota, representing
different agroclimatic and population settlement patterns. Whole-
farm economic models of case study conventional and sustainable
farms in each area were used to estimate differences in input
purchase and marketing patterns. We found declines in on-farm
personal income (returns to farm labor and management) in four of
the five case comparisons under a conversion to sustainable
farming systems if organic price premiums are ignored; we found
increases in three of five cases if applicable organic premiums
are included. In all five study areas, total off-farm personal
income drops in the portions of local economies connected to
farming through backward linkages. It also drops in four of the
five study areas in the portions of local economies connected
through forward linkages if organic premiums are ignored (all
five if organic premiums are included). However, net forward
linkage effects are usually much smaller than net backward
linkage effects, and on- farm personal income effects are
substantially greater than either backward or forward off-farm
linkage effects in most cases. The total (on- and off-farm)
personal income effect of converting to sustainable systems is
positive in only one area without organic premiums, and in one
additional area with premiums. The ratio of total to on-farm
personal income effects within local economies, considering
only first round effects on backward- and forward-linked firms,
averages 1.2 without organic premiums, or 0.6 with them.
Taking account of more complete multiplier effects, which also
consider changes in consumer expenditures and changes in
expenditures for supplies by backward- and forward-linked firms,
the average is 1.8 without organic premiums, or 0.8 with them.
With more time for changes in sustainable production techniques
and in the structure of farms and the rural economy, the
overall economic effects of conversions to sustainable farming
are likely to be more positive than our estimates.

Potential for Eppawala Apatite as directly applied low-

Abstract: Apatite in Sri Lanka is mined from Eppawala
(Eppawala Rock Phosphate or ERP). The finely ground product is
used as a direct application fertilizer for tea, rubber and
coconut. ERP is an indiscriminate mixture of more soluble primary
crystals and a less soluble secondary phosphate matrix rich in
ferruginous and aluminous compounds with an average P2O5 content
of 30%. The primary crystals can easily be separated from the
groundmass by mechanical separation to produce selectively mined
primary crystals (SERP) which has higher P2O5 (35 to 42%) and
lower R2O3 contents (around 1%) than the matrix. The ground SERP
shows promise, as measured using yield and bicarbonate-
extractable soil P, as fertilizer for rice grown in lowland and
midland acid soils. In the second crop residues of SERP produced
larger yields and bicarbonate-extractable P than Triple super
phosphate (TSP) for the first crop. TSP is imported and its price
is four times that of SERP. Therefore SERP is a potentially more
profitable alternative fertilizer for TSP for rice on Sri Lankan
acid soils.

Abstract: Organizational assumptions embedded in the
production function of neoclassical economics have served to
structure production agriculture in the United States for the
past 100 years. The narrow focus of the production function on
the inputs of land, labor, capital, and management and the
use of on-farm profitability as the primary definition of
sustainability have come under attack from sustainable
agriculturalists, who argue that the social and environmental
consequences of production are as important as the economic
outcomes. Using diversity of crops harvested as an indicator of
sustainability, the production function is operationalized to
inform the debate between the conventional, neoclassical model
of production and the alternative, sustainable model. Census
of agriculture data from 1978, 1982, and 1987 are used in
both cross-sectional and temporal models. Results show that
increases in expenditures for equipment and machinery,
prevalence of corporate farms, higher rates of tenancy, and
the prevalence of large farms are associated with lower levels of
diversity at the county level. Conversely, higher levels of
diversity are found in counties with greater farm labor
expenses, where there are more medium-size farms, and where
farmers are more likely to farm full-time.

Abstract: In a previous study of reduced chemical
cropping systems (N from legumes; chisel plow and disk tillage;
cultivation for weed control) in the southeastern U.S., corn
and wheat yields were less than half those obtained with
recommended practices. The following practices were studied as
possible ways to improve yields in the reduced chemical systems:
1) conventional tillage (chisel plowing and disking), inorganic
N at 70 or 140 kg/ha, and either cultivation or herbicides; 2)
early versus late plow-down of clover green manures; 3)
supplemental inorganic N fertilizer on corn and wheat in
rotations relying on clover green manures for N; and 4)
nicosulfuron herbicide banded on corn. Yield of soybean in the
rotations was not affected by any of these practices. With
herbicides and fertilizer N at 140 kg/ha, continuous corn
yields with no-till and conventional tillage were equal in 1990
and 1992, but no-till yield was 30% higher in 1991. When
cultivation was used for weed control in the conventional tillage
treatment, corn yield was similar to that of no-till with
herbicide in the one year when rain was plentiful (yield 6000
kg/ha). However, in 2 of 4 dry years, yields (<2600 kg/ha)
were higher with no-till. Clover biomass consistently increased
by between 700 and 3500 kg/ha when plow-down was delayed from
mid-April to early or mid-May (13 to 26 days). However, biomass
N content increased significantly (by between 35 and 90 kg/ha) in
only 2 of 5 years. Corn yields were affected in only 2 of 12
possible comparisons. In these cases, delayed clover plow-down
reduced yield by about 50%. Supplementing corn with 45 kg N/ha
and banding nicosulfuron increased yields, but only to between
62 and. 90 kg N/ha.

Abstract: As nonpoint source pollution of water becomes
more evident, more concern is being focused on the effects of
agricultural practices on water quality. This study evaluated the
effects of conventional tillage (CT), chisel-plow tillage
(CP), and no tillage (NT) on the quality of runoff water from a
Maury silt loam soil (fine, mixed, mesic Typic Paleudalf)
near Lexington, KY. The mean runoff rate, total runoff
volume, mean sediment concentration, and total soil losses
were significantly less for NT than for CP and CT. Concentration
of NO3-, NH4+, and PO4(3-) in the runoff water from NT were
greater than from CP or CT. Concentration of atrazine [6-chloro-
N-ethyl-N'-(1-methylethyl)-1,3, 5-triazine-2,4-diamine] in the
runoff water tended to be higher from CP than from NT or CT.
Total losses of NO3-, NH4+, PO4(3-), and atrazine in runoff
water were generally in the order CT > CP > NT. The sum of all
chemicals lost was less than 3% of the total amount of each
applied.

Abstract: Field cage studies were conducted during 1989
and 1990 to estimate the yield response of 'Maine Yelloweye' dry
bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L., to injury by Mexican bean
beetle, Epilachna varivestis Mulsant, at the preflowering
(R5) and flowering (R6) stages of plant growth in the low-input
and conventional cropping systems in Maine. Plants, caged
singly, were infested with 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 first
instars. Caging had no significant effect on yield. No
significant relationship was detected between yield and Mexican
bean beetle infestation level except at the R5 stage in the low-
input treatment in 1989, where a significant linear
relationship was found. In 1990, the low-input treatment at the
R5 stage infested by 20 larvae was the only treatment with
significant yield loss. Defoliation in this treatment was an
estimated 28%, whereas defoliation of all other treatments was
< 20%. It was estimated that the economic injury level for
Mexican bean beetle on dry bean in Maine may exceed 20 first
instars per plant or 20% defoliation. Effects of plant size,
cropping system, plant growth stage, and sample size on the
development of economic injury level were discussed.

Includes references.
Descriptors: agricultural-policy; regulation; social-

studies; low-input-agriculture; farm-management; norway; three-
dimensional-model
Abstract: The article presents a country case study
(Norway) of changing agricultural policy in the triangular field
of forces formed by state regulation, the markets and the
social welfare of the farming population. The article starts with
an outline of a three-dimensional model of agricultural policies
in developed capitalist countries. The policy is torn between
three poles: state regulation, the liberalist market economy,
and welfare support for the farmers. Each historical epoch has
its own compromise between these three dimensions, called a
policy cycle. When the cycle of agricultural policy changes, we
may expect a change in the farmers' survival strategies. The
findings, however, show that there is more persistence than
change, independent of policy cycle, and farmers adapt
themselves to policy changes even before the actual changes are
made, in anticipation of the future. As a consequence,
farmers in Norway lowered their investments and used less
fertilizer and pesticides even before the present policy of
'green liberalism' was implemented.

Risk indices for economic and water quality tradeoffs: an

environmental-risk-indices
Abstract: Agricultural nonpoint source pollution is a
multidimensional problem encompassing several forms of
contaminants and several environments (e.g., surface water and
groundwater). Environmental risk indices can account for
differences in chemical attributes and aggregate environmental
outcomes across several forms of contaminants and environments.
The objective of this analysis is to develop three environmental
risk indices and use the indices to compare the environmental
risk and economic returns associated with alternative production
systems in the Oklahoma Panhandle region of the Central High
Plains. Three environmental risk indices are developed that
incorporate different information concerning the environmental
effects of pesticide use. The first index--the environmental
impact quotient (EIQ)--incorporates only chemical properties into
the environmental risk assessment, while the two other indices-
-chemical environmental index (CINDEX) and chemical concentration
index (CONC) also factor in estimates of expected annual runoff
and percolation loadings and concentrations, respectively. Both
statistical and graphical comparisons indicate that the three
indices provide similar rankings of alternative production
systems based upon their potential environmental consequences.
The CONC index is characterized by greater volatility than the
other indices, and its rankings of the production activities
are least correlated with those derived from the two other
indices. Results suggest some potential for reduction in
environmental risk without large reductions in net returns.
Application of the EIQ index, which does not explicitly
incorporate chemical loading or concentration estimates,
provides the highest estimate of income. Therefore, although
the three indices generate similar rankings of alternative
production activities, their application can provide very
different estimates of the economic consequences of attaining
environmental objectives.

strips; nonpoint-source-pollution; piedmnot-soils
Abstract: Vegetated filter strips help reduce non-point
source pollution from agricultural areas. Even though they are an
accepted and highly promoted practice, little quantitative data
exist on their effectiveness under field conditions. The
objective of this research was to determine the amount of
nutrients and sediment removed by natural and planted filters.
This was achieved by collecting and analyzing runoff at field
edges and at various locations in vegetated buffers. Total weight
of sediment and nutrients in runoff from North Carolina
agricultural fields showed that the grass and riparian filter
strips studied reduced runoff load by 50 to 80%. Total sediment
decrease through the filters was about 80% for both grass and
riparian vegetation. The reduction in the chemical load depended
on the nutrient and its form. Filters reduced total P load by
50%, but 80% of the soluble PO4-P arriving at the field edge
frequently passed through the filters. The filters retained 20 to
50% of the NH4 and approximately 50% of the total Kjeldahl N and
NO3. High-volume flows commonly overwhelmed both grass and
riparian filters next to culivated fields. Forested ephemeral
channels had little vegetation and were effective sediment sinks
during the dry season but were ineffective during large storm
events because there was little resistance to flow. When
possible, drainageways should be designed to hold sediment and
to disperse the discharge into a riparian area.

properties and economic profitability of adjacent, commercial
biodynamic and conventional farms (16 total) in New Zealand were
compared. The biodynamic farms in the study had better soil
quality than the neighboring conventional farms and were just as
financially viable on a per hectare basis.

Abstract: Most agriculture in the Sahel Region is
carried out under rainfed conditions where low and uncertain soil
moisture levels limit productivity. Improved soil, water and
crop management practices are required to reverse the steady
decline in per capita food production and sustain output over the
long term. Several technological innovations and related farm
management practices are evaluated in a case study of a typical
farm in Mali. Through use of a soil-water balance model and a
whole-farm economic model an optimal mix of these measures is
identified. Compared to a base case where no modern inputs ate
utilized, the combination of animal traction (oxen team), low
levels of NPK fertilizer, tied-ridges, traditional long-
season food grain crops and early planting was most effective:
food grain output was 35% higher than with the traditional base
case; soil erosion was reduced by 72%; and even with residual
future soil erosion damage capitalized into current income, net
farm income was larger by a factor of almost 45.

Abstract: The fate of N in North Carolina Piedmont corn
(Zea mays L.) was traced using N pool size analysis. In 1989 and
1990, selected N pools [corn; weeds; surface residues; and soil
NH4+, NO3-, and potentially mineralizable N (N(o))] were
sequentially sampled in four reduced chemical input systems: (i)
crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) with conventional
tillage (clover-till), (ii) no cover crop with conventional
tillage and 70 kg N ha-1 as NH4NO3 (fertilizer-till), (iii)
crimson clover with strip-tillage (clover-strip), and (iv) no
cover crop with no tillage and 70 kg N ha-1 as NH4NO3
(fertilizer-no-till). The largest of the repeatedly measured N
pools was soil N(o), which accounted for < 10% of the total
Kjeldahl soil N. Soil N(o) was highest in the clover-till
treatment, and had large seasonal fluctuations: 170 to 255 kg
N ha-1 in clover-till, and 117 to 210 kg N ha-1 in other
treatments. Fertilizer treatments had higher inorganic N levels
than did clover treatments only immediately after fertilizer
application. Although clover shoots contained 97 to 134 kg N ha-1
yr-1, more than the N applied to fertilizer treatments, no
significant differences among treatments in plant (corn + weed)
aboveground N accumulation (38 to 132 kg N ha-1) were observed.
Of these totals, weed N accounted for 5 to 30 kg N ha-1.
Surface residue N content was highest in reduced tillage
treatments. In reduced chemical input systems such as these, N
transfers among soil N(o), weed, and residue pools may be as
large or larger than N transfers among soil inorganic and crop
pools.

biological-control; pest-control; alternative-farming; weed-
control; soil-management; labor; agricultural-planning; cuba
Abstract: Cuba's agriculture after the 1959 revolution
had been based on large-scale, capital intensive monoculture,
which made Cuba heavily dependent on the socialist bloc for
subsidized agrichemical inputs and for set prices of agricultural
exports. However, with the collapse of the Soviet Union and its
Eastern European allies in 1989-90, Cuba's inputs of
fertilizer, pesticides, and petroleum dropped by more than
half. Cuba responded with a dramatic shift in its agricultural
development model that featured appropriate technology,
alternative organization of labor, alternative planning, and
environmental preservation. Cuban pest control efforts now focus
on biological control and on enhanced monitoring and diagnostic
techniques. Soil management emphasizes biofertilizers and
vermiculture. Minimum tillage and crop rotation are frequent
practices among Cuba's independent farmers, agricultural
cooperatives, and state farms. The transition to low-input
agriculture has decreased the exodus of people from rural areas
to cities, and has led to establishment of labor camps with
volunteer labor and long-term programs for rebuilding rural
communities. To address the loss of important food imports while
ensuring environmental conservation, agricultural planning now
gives priority to crop rotations, city gardens, and
introduction of food crops in sugar cane areas.

Utilizing the nitrogen content of organic manures on
farms--problems and practical solutions.
Smith, K. A.; Chambers, B. J. Soil-use-manage
v.9(3): p.105-112. (1993 Sept.)
Paper presented at the National Agricultural Conference,
"Nitrogen management in a changing environment," January 29,
1992, Stoneleigh, Warwickshire.
Descriptors: manures; nitrogen-content; nitrogen; use-
efficiency; farm-management
Abstract: Organic manures contain valuable quantities of
nitrogen, phosphate and potash, but many farmers regard them
as 'waste materials' rather than as sources of plant nutrients.
Utilization of the plant-available nitrogen content is poor at
present because of manure management practices which lead to
leaching and atmospheric losses. Experiments studying the effect
of timing suggest that, in order to decrease nitrate leaching,
applications of manures which contain much available nitrogen
should not be made during the period September to December on
freely draining grassland and arable soils. Spring top dressings
of dilute pig or cattle slurries and poultry manures to growing
cereal crops are generally more efficient than autumn
applications, particularly on freely draining soils.
Legislation requiring manures to be applied in an environmentally
acceptable manner and the economic need for farmers to realize
the nutrient value of organic manures are likely to change the
farming industry's perception of manures as 'waste materials'.

Where the grass grows again: knowledge exchange in the

theory; wisconsin; rotational-grazing; social-movement-theory
Abstract: Many analysts of sustainable agriculture have
given considerable attention to issues of knowledge production,
but in general they have not engaged social movement theory.
This neglect is addressed by examining the emergence of intensive
rotational grazing as a local expression of the sustainable
agriculture movement. Conceptual frameworks drawn from recent
contributions to social movement theory are used to describe the
cognitive praxis of graziers along technological,
cosmological, and organizational dimensions. Contrary to
current interpretations, which emphasize the idiosyncratic
character of local knowledge in agriculture, this analysis
shows that through horizontal forms of organizing and information
exchange, graziers overcome the limits of their personal
experience and usefully share local knowledge in networks that
they have forged expressly for that purpose.

Abstract: To examine the long-term productivity,
profitability, and ecological interactions associated with
whole farming systems, we established an interdisciplinary
replicated comparison of a conventional and an experimental
alternative crop-livestock farming system in southwest Virginia
in 1988. The conventional system uses the best management
practices commonly used in the mid-Atlantic region. The
alternative system puts more emphasis on crop rotation, grazing
and forage management, conservation tillage, cover crops,
and integrated pest management. Each is managed as a year-round
system, with management decisions based on the system's overall
goals. The comparison is planned to run for 10 years, so that
only preliminary conclusions can be drawn so far. These include
the following: 1) similar total productivity can be achieved
with either reduced or full use of herbicides and insecticides;
2) the need for N fertilization can be decreased using grazing
management and short-rotation alfalfa; and 3) recycling of manure
from cattle fed corn silage provides most nutrients needed for
the following corn crop. The comparative profitability of the
two systems has fluctuated among years, and it is too early to
know which system is more profitable. The process of
interdisciplinary systems research has increased our knowledge of
total system interactions, challenged prior assumptions, and
clarified the methodological problems of integrated systems
research.

Abstract: Interest is increasing in alternative,
reduced input cropping systems. Potential interactive effects of
input additions or eliminations on crop yield must be delineated
to develop the most resource-efficient cropping systems.
Information of this type is especially lacking in the southern
United States. The principal objective of this field study was to
determine the main and interactive effects of nitrogen (N)
fertilization herbicide, and insecticide on grain yields in a
corn (Zea mays L.) - soybean [(Glycine max (L.) Merr.)] rotation.
Dryland studies were conducted for four years (1990-1993) on a
Weswood silt loam soil (fine, mixed, thermic Fluventic
Ustochrept). Variables included none or "optimal" applications of
N fertilizer, herbicide, and insecticide. Mean corn grain
yield was increased 156% by N fertilization compared to the no N
control. Herbicide significantly increased corn grain yield two
of four years, while soil-applied insecticide had no effect.
Johnsongrass [Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers.] was identified as the
primary competitive weed species in corn. No interactions of
inputs were observed for corn grain yield. Nitrogen fertilization
and herbicide did not affect soybean yield, but insecticide
increased average soybean yield by 29%. Interactions of N
fertilization and insecticide and herbicide and insecticide were
significant for soybean yield.
