Advisory Work in Crop Pest and Disease Management
ISBN: 9783540162421 / Angielski / Miękka / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Advisory work, by its very nature, is an intermediary between the re search worker and those who apply the results of his research. The challenge of advisory work is to devise means of and find pathways for transmitting research results to the user, overcome the reluctance of the latter to change, and often combine novel ideas with well-estab lished traditions. Nowhere is this challenge greater than in farming. This is especially true in developing countries, where the gap in the educational level between research workers and farmers may be ex tremely wide. Moreover, village-level advisers...

India: Alleviating Poverty Through Forest Development
ISBN: 9780821347621 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although the involvement of the World Bank in the forest sector has a relatively short history, starting in 1988, the impact of Bank projects dates back much further. The Bank's 1991 forest strategy stressed a multi-sectoral approach. Accordingly, this review looked at the Bank's projects in the forest sector, projects with forest sector components, and projects with potential impacts on forests, as well as the Bank's non-lending services. These studies seek to judge whether the Bank has 'done the right things' and 'done things right.'

Timber
ISBN: 9780745649276 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Timber is a vital resource that is all around us.

Biological Nitrogen Fixation for Sustainable Agriculture: Extended Versions of Papers Presented in the Symposium, Role of Biological Nitrogen Fixation
ISBN: 9789048141647 / Angielski / Miękka / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Chemical fertilizers have had a significant impact on food production in the recent past, and are today an indispensable part of modern agriculture.

There are vast areas of the developing world where N fertilizers are neither available nor affordable and, in most of these countries, balance of payment problems have resulted in the removal of N fertilizer subsidies. The external costs of environmental degradation and human...
