"Gender" is a concept used in social sciences to look at roles and activities of men and women. These roles are often socially defined, and shaped by the traditions and beliefs of a particular culture. While women contribute between 60-80 % of agricultural production in developing countries, women farmers are least likely to benefit from agricultural extension services and technologies that could improve their production. Therefore, theoretical and methodological work in gender analysis in agriculture has been expanding. Gender analysis tries to take account of roles on other fronts in the lives of farmers since an understanding of the overall commitment of time and energy is pre-requisite to a better identification of farmers' needs.

Strategy of nitrogen fertilization in Slovene agricultural production

1996

Leskosek, M. | Mihelic, R. (Ljubljana Univ. (Slovenia). Biotechnical Fac., Agronomy Dept) | Pintar, M. (Vodnogospodarski institut, Ljubljana (Slovenia))

Strategy of nitrogen fertilization in Slovene growing conditions is determined in the first place by our climatic and soil characteristics. Relatively high air temperature and abundant precipitation quantity (800 to 1600 mm in the most parts of the country) are two main characteristics of our climate. Abundant precipitation during the growth period in many cases exceeds the need of the plants as well as soil capacity for water. Especially in the areas where drinking water is collected, the soil is shallow ( 30 cm), therefore a large part of precipitation is drained during the growing period as well, which consequently pollute underground water with nitrates. Large areas covered with forests (52 %) and with permanent grasslands (30 %) diminish the effect of nitrogen leaking. The excess of precipitation and fast underground water streams protect the water from pollution as well. These are the reasons for which the nitrogen rate has to be divided into several parts. For better allotment of nitrogen, different new methods are proposed. They still have to be adopted to our conditions and to be used more often in praxis.
