Management of phosphorus with VR and zone delineation

Non-Peer ReviewedIncreased focus on environmental sustainability is putting pressure on better nutrient management in agriculture, particularly with phosphorus. New methods of delineating management zones using soil EC and topography offers exciting potential to better manage phosphorus and other nutrients using variable rate technology. This can result in higher yields, reduced environmental risk from over-application, and substantial economic benefits

The impact of sexual harassment on job satisfaction, turnover intentions, and absenteeism: findings from Pakistan compared to the United States

The purpose of this study was to compare and contrast how differences in perceptions of sexual harassment impact productive work environments for employees in Pakistan as compared to the US; in particular, how it affects job satisfaction, turnover, and/or absenteeism.
