Farmer Experience with Weed Resistance to Herbicides in Cotton Production
(University of Missouri, 2015)
declined thereafter. Farmers relied extensively on labor-intensive and mechanical/chemical practices to control resistant weeds. The proportion of farmers in the sample who indicated they had total weed control costs of $50 or more per acre nearly doubled...
Material Hardship Across Place
(University of Missouri - Columbia Institute of Public Policy, 2004)
In this brief, we examine trends in material hardship for families, focusing
specifically on geographic variations. Using data from the Census Bureau Public Use
Microdata Samples (PUMS), we assess how the levels of material ...

The potential economic impacts of herbicide-tolerant maize in developing countries : a case study
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2015)
In this study, we evaluate the potential economic impact of herbicide-tolerant (HT) maize in Kenya. HT maize is essentially a new weed-control approach. The potential agronomic changes from the use of HT maize are ...
Something old and something new : future directions in vocational research with people of color in the United States
(SAGE Publications Inc., 2019)
Vocational psychology scholarship has largely overlooked the work experiences of people of color. In this article, we present evidence that vocational research that addresses the work issues of people of color has been ...
Selecting socio-scientific issues for teaching : a grounded theory study of how science teachers collaboratively design SSI-based curricula
(Springer Netherlands, 2019)
Currently there is little guidance given to teachers in selecting focal issues for socio-scientific issues (SSI)-based teaching and learning. As a majority of teachers regularly collaborate with other teachers, understanding ...
Evaluation of agricultural reactivation on abandoned lands in Poland
