Sale and lease of an enterprise including agricultural property. Civil law and tax problems

The article concerns the issue of the sale of an enterprise which includes agricultural real estate. It was found that the provisions of the Act on shaping the agricultural system should be applied when transferring ownership of an enterprise, which includes agricultural real estate or shares of companies that own real estate with an area of more than 5 ha. This means, the sale of the enterprise must be divided into two binding contracts, and when the State Treasury does not exercise its pre-emption right – an ownership transfer contract must be made. Alternatively, the sale of an enterprise may be split into several contracts for agricultural property and other components, but this leads to difficulties in the tax classification of the entire transaction, i.e. whether it should be taxed with civil law transactions tax or each contract for the sale of a part of the enterprise with the tax on goods and services.

Investigation of Agricultural Properties of Some Cotton Genotypes in Second Crop Cultivation With Two Different Tillages in Antalya

The conservation agriculture system is an agricultural technique that will attract the attention of farmers, especially in terms of yield and cost, and this has been proven by many scientific studies. It is expected to be a widespread agricultural practice in future. This study was conducted in order to investigate the effects of different tillage and sowing methods of second crop cotton agriculture on the yield and yield components in the 2015-2016 production season on the trial land of Batı Akdeniz Agricultural Research Institute in Antalya. This study in which two different tillage methods (direct sowing on stubble and conventional tillage) with 5 cotton varieties and 2 cotton lines were used, was conducted according to parcels whose randomized blocks were split in a trial pattern. Genotypes showed significant differences in all examined agricultural characteristics. In terms of practices, there were significant differences in the number of nodes, number of monopodial branches, number of sympodial branches and number of seeds in agricultural observations. The year*application*genotype interaction was significant in terms of plant height, boll weight and number of seeds in the boll.

Agricultural law in Poland

This article explores characteristics of Polish agricultural law as a branch of legislation, a branch in the legal system, a detailed scientific discipline, and as a subject of teaching. The development of agricultural legislation has always been accompanied by the study of agricultural law and, as a rule, its teaching. Concerning its origins, agricultural law in Poland is more related to public law regulations. At the end of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century, the instruments for influencing agriculture proper to this law were developed. In the interwar period, legislation on various aspects of agriculture developed, but fell primarily within the scope of public law. It was only in the 1950s, during the period of the People’s Republic of Poland, that civil law regulation on agriculture, in addition to public law regulation, developed. The change of regime after 1989 brought about a significant reduction in agricultural legislation due to economic liberalism. A significant development occurred only after Poland’s accession to the European Union. Many issues were regulated for the first time, and national law, in connection with EU membership, returned to a special regulation of agricultural property trade. The inclusion of Polish agriculture in the mechanisms of the CAP provided an impulse to intensify research and opened up a new stage in the development of the science of agricultural law, it has moved from the study of national law, to taking up topics of a regional and global nature under the conditions of EU membership. The research went beyond traditional land issues and the organization of agricultural production. The development of agricultural legislation and agricultural law science is linked to teaching. In the last few years or so, the position of agricultural law as a subject of teaching has been strengthened.

Exploratory analysis of women's right of access a land case of Mali

The relevance of the study: Several factors combine to explain this situation, including the poor equipment of farms and the lack of supervision and strong support from the public authorities. In addition to these factors, the lack of security of land tenure is a major problem facing farmers [1]. This problem of land rights is exacerbated by women's poor access to farmland despite the fact that they make up a very large part of the agricultural labor force. Mali is a country whose economic structure is strongly dominated by the primary and tertiary sectors. In 2017, the contribution of the primary sector accounted for 38.34% of GDP, with a large share for agriculture (19 % of GDP). In 2019, it is estimated at 38.43% of GDP [2]. Malian agriculture remains largely dependent on rainfall. It is characterized by low agricultural yields. Problem of the research. Low access to agricultural property rights is a source of demotivation for women who paradoxically constitute the main agricultural workforce. This lack of a consecrated and explicitly recognized right to land ownership reflects the lack of incentives for women and would explain in part the low productivity and low total agricultural production. Subject of the research: women's right of access to agricultural property and its impact on the country's production. The aim of this paper is to reveal the problems women's right of access to land. The following tasks: is to identify the legal arsenal relating to land law directly and to women's right of access to land ownership and to highlight the practical, social and customary difficulties encountered in the implementation of this right. Subsequently, it is necessary to highlight the link between this poor access to agricultural property rights and the low level of agricultural production in Mali. Methods. To deal with this theme we had adopted a feminist and critical posture. The novelty the adoption of the feminist posture helps us to understand women's discourse in a context marked in practice by the implicit denial of women's right to access agricultural land ownership. The paper concluded that he critical approach makes it possible to go beyond this observation to try to understand the relations of force and power between men and women in the particular context of the country. As the result women's right to access land ownership is a recognized and inalienable right in Mali. However, sociological, customary and religious constraints make the implementation of this right on the ground problematic. As a result, despite their significant weight in the agricultural labor force, women have little access to land, farms, inputs and equipment. The corollary of this situation is their low agricultural yield and their low contribution to agricultural value added.

CRÉDITO RURAL E SUSTENTABILIDADE: UM ESTUDO COMPARATIVO EM PEQUENAS PROPRIEDADES RURAIS

Diante da crescente demanda mundial por alimentos, a agricultura familiar e o acesso ao crédito rural têm sido entendidos como fatores essenciais para o desenvolvimento do setor agrícola de forma sustentável. Baseando-se nesse contexto, este estudo teve como objetivo identificar a relação do crédito rural com o desenvolvimento sustentável de pequenas propriedades agrícolas no município de Prudentópolis-PR, comparando propriedades tomadoras e não tomadoras de crédito rural em relação ao atendimento das dimensões econômica, ambiental e social da sustentabilidade. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo, a partir de entrevistas e observações, em 6 propriedades rurais, sendo 3 tomadoras de crédito rural e 3 não tomadoras. Os resultados demonstram que o crédito rural é uma ferramenta essencial para o desenvolvimento das propriedades rurais. Apesar do não conhecimento sobre a aplicação do conceito de sustentabilidade, por parte dos agricultores, diferenças são identificadas nas dimensões econômica e social. De modo geral, os resultados demonstram que propriedades tomadoras de crédito rural apresentam mais medidas de desenvolvimento sustentável em relação as não tomadoras de crédito, denotando o crédito rural como uma importante ferramenta que pode auxiliar em uma produção agrícola mais sustentável.

PRODUCTION AND POST HARVEST OF ‘KENT’ MANGO UNDER DIFFERENT IRRIGATION SYSTEMS

Facing the fruit market’s search for more efficient production systems, this research aimed to identify an arrangement of efficient irrigation systems for the productive and postharvest characteristics of ‘Kent’ mango fruits, under the conditions of the Brazilian semiarid. The research was performed in an agricultural property in the municipality of Petrolina-PE, with the soil classified in Quartzarenic Neosol. Four irrigation system arrangements were tested: a micro sprinkler below the canopy; a micro sprinkler between plants; two lateral dripper lines per row of plant; and a ring-shaped drip strip around the plant in a randomized block design with five repetitions. The productive characteristics were evaluated, such as number and average weight of fruits and productivity; and qualitative parameters (evaluated by plant quadrant): volume, density, firmness, soluble solids content and titratable acidity. A micro sprinkler between plants provided a greater number of fruits and productivity, as well as greater firmness and titratable acidity for mangoes of the South and West quadrants; these characteristics associated with the lowest soluble solids content of the pulp, at the time of harvest, was also obtained with a micro sprinkler between plants and induce a longer post harvest time to the fruits.

Doña Mariana Venegas, noblewoman and landowner: purchase of Moorish goods in the Vega of Granada (1566-1594).

A partir de documentación de los archivos de protocolos notariales y de la Real Chancillería de Granada se delinea la biografía de la matriarca de la familia Hinojosa Granada, rama por vía femenina de la ilustre estirpe Granada Venegas, y se analiza el importante patrimonio rústico que adquirió, en régimen de gananciales, en seis pagos agrícolas de la Vega de Granada, aledaños a la ciudad. Heredad integrada por 224 fincas −hazas, huertas y olivares− con más de 1.500 marjales de tierra, compradas una parte a moriscos antes de 1570, y la mayoría a la Real Hacienda en subasta pública de bienes moriegos confiscados y vendidos −ramo de censos sueltos− a lo largo de tres décadas. Un ejemplo representativo de la actuación de la oligarquía granadina para hacerse con la posesión de estos bienes requisados. Asimismo, se detallan las rentas que generaban a finales del siglo XVI, se amplía la nómina de moriscos expulsos o que permanecieron, y se considera el paisaje agrario a partir de la información que proporciona esta gran propiedad.

Fitopatojenlere Karşı Dayanıklılıkta CRISPR/Cas Teknolojisi

The intracellular and extracellular plant pathogens cause economically significant loss to agricultural products worldwide. Genome editing technologies, especially the CRISPR/cas system, have recently been used in different fields in order to improve both quality and yield in agricultural products. The CRISPR/cas system which provides defense in microorganisms against bacteria, archaea, phage and foreign plasmids is a tool that offers unique opportunities for research and regulation of agricultural properties. In this review, the effectiveness of the CRSPR/cas system in the fight against phyto-pathogens causing diseases was discussed. In addition, the current status of modifications through the CRISPR/cas system of genes that play a role in resistance and susceptibility to the host plant against fungi, bacteria and viruses was revealed. The CRISPR/cas system has been shown to be effective in providing resistance to phyto-pathogens that have destructive effects on plants. Advances in genome editing and the production of transgene-free plants with CRISPR/Cas will enable the development of new disease management and control strategies in plant pathology. In the future, it will be possible to develop resistant plants to more than one pathogen simultaneously with CRISPR/cas genome editing technology.

Biochar from vegetable wastes: agro-environmental characterization

Considering the global issue of vegetable wastes generation and its impact on the environment and resources, this study evaluated the conversion of four largely produced vegetable wastes (cauliflower, cabbage, banana peels and corn cob residues) into biochar. Each waste was tested individually and as a combined blend to assess feedstock influences on biochar properties. In addition, various pyrolysis temperatures ranging from 300 °C to 600 °C and two particle size fractions (less than 75 µm, 75–125 µm) were considered. Biochars were characterized for various properties that can influence the biochars’ effectiveness as a soil amendment. It was found that pyrolysis temperature was the most dominant factor on biochar properties, but that individual feedstocks produced biochars with different characteristics. The biochars had characteristics that varied as follows: pH 7.2–11.6, ECE 0.15–1.00 mS cm−1, CEC 17–cmolc kg−1 and ζ-potential − 0.24 to − 43 mV. Based on optimal values of these parameters from the literature, cauliflower and banana peels were determined to be the best feedstocks, though mixed vegetable waste also produced good characteristics. The optimum temperature for pyrolysis was around 400 °C, but differed slightly (300–500 °C) depending on the distinct feedstock. However, smaller particle size of biochar application was always optimal. Biochar yields were in the range of 20–30% at this temperature range, except for corn cobs which were higher. This study demonstrates that pyrolysis of dried vegetable wastes is a suitable waste valorization approach to produce biochar with good agricultural properties.

As a result, the economic issue was pointed out with 34% of the cases, as a hinter to undertake in rural properties, followed by the lack and low qualification of the workforce available with 12.6% of the cases and the lower selling price for the producer with 7.6% of the cases.

Las medidas de mejora regulatoria como instrumento en la lucha contra la despoblación del medio rural en Galicia

El objeto de este trabajo es el análisis de diversas medidas de mejora regulatoria, introducidas por la Comunidad Autónoma de Galicia a lo largo de la última década, que pueden ayudar a mitigar la despoblación del medio rural, al facilitar la implantación de actividades productivas en las zonas en riesgo de despoblación y contribuir, así, a la fijación de población en ellas. Ello incluye el estudio del nuevo régimen urbanístico y de intervención administrativa en las actividades económicas en el medio rural, así como de la aparición, al lado de la política tradicional de reestructuración de la propiedad agraria, de otra política pública orientada a la recuperación y puesta en valor de la tierra productiva en estado de abandono o de cultivo deficiente.

Indigenous Australian heritage on private land: an examination of guidance provided by local government authorities of NSW

ABSTRACT Throughout Australia, large numbers of Indigenous Australian heritage sites, which exist on privately owned agricultural properties, have neither been recorded or documented and are not being actively managed. Anecdotally, some of this occurs in NSW due to uncertainties and fears held by the landholders. This paper examines the responses provided by several NSW Local Government Authorities (LGA) to a simulated enquiry by a landholder who may wish to remain anonymous but desires to obtain guidance on how to manage Indigenous Australian heritage sites on his/her property. The information (and forward links) provided on LGA websites was found to be generally poor. Direct enquiries were found to provide accurate information, but this entailed the loss of anonymity. Suggestions for improvement of the status quo are offered.

The potential of organic agriculture, soil structure and farmers income for inclusive agriculture sustainability: a review

Sustainable agriculture integrates three main objectives - environmental health, economic profitability, and social-economic justice. Organic farming is an alternative to sustainable agriculture that is more inclusive and has become a widespread phenomenon. Globally, the amount of land cultivated with some form of organic agriculture continues to grow. The sustainability of organic farming cannot be separated from the economic dimension, other than the environmental and social dimensions. Organic farming is not only limited to eliminating the use of synthetic inputs that can cause land degradation due to damage to soil structure, but also the sustainable use of natural resources, healthy food production and saving energy. The potential of organic farming in improving soil fertility is improving the physical and chemical properties of soil with the use of organic materials, and good management of organic farming can increase soil fertility. Economic aspects can be sustainable if agricultural production is able to meet the needs and provide sufficient income for farmers. Economic motivation now controls the direction of developing organic agriculture. Organic Agriculture can ensure stable and sustainable alternative livelihoods, especially in situations where land is available and offers opportunities for improvement, this is supported by the awareness of the dangers posed by the use of synthetic chemicals in agriculture making organic farming attract attention both at the level producers and consumers alike. Most consumers will choose food that is safe for health and environmentally friendly, thus encouraging increased demand for organic products as one of the inclusive agriculture properties.

Actual Evapotranspiration and Biomass of Maize from a Red–Green-Near-Infrared (RGNIR) Sensor on Board an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)

Surface reflectance data acquisition by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are an important tool for assisting precision agriculture, mainly in medium and small agricultural properties. Vegetation indices, calculated from these data, allow one to estimate the water consumption of crops and predict dry biomass and crop yield, thereby enabling a priori decision-making. Thus, the present study aimed to estimate, using the vegetation indices, the evapotranspiration (ET) and aboveground dry biomass (AGB) of the maize crop using a red–green-near-infrared (RGNIR) sensor onboard a UAV. For this process, 15 sets of images were captured over 61 days of maize crop monitoring. The images of each set were mosaiced and subsequently subjected to geometric correction and conversion from a digital number to reflectance to compute the vegetation indices and basal crop coefficients (Kcb). To evaluate the models statistically, 54 plants were collected in the field and evaluated for their AGB values, which were compared through statistical metrics to the data estimated by the models. The Kcb values derived from the Soil-Adjusted Vegetation Index (SAVI) were higher than the Kcb values derived from the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), possibly due to the linearity of this model. A good agreement (R2 = 0.74) was observed between the actual transpiration of the crop estimated by the Kcb derived from SAVI and the observed AGB, while the transpiration derived from the NDVI had an R2 of 0.69. The AGB estimated using the evaporative fraction with the SAVI model showed, in relation to the observed AGB, an RMSE of 0.092 kg m−2 and an R2 of 0.76, whereas when using the evaporative fraction obtained through the NDVI, the RMSE was 0.104 kg m−2, and the R2 was 0.74. An RGNIR sensor onboard a UAV proved to be satisfactory to estimate the water demand and AGB of the maize crop by using empirical models of the Kcb derived from the vegetation indices, which are an important source of spatialized and low-cost information for decision-making related to water management in agriculture.
