What is AGRIS?
AGRIS (International System for Agricultural Science and Technology) is a global public database providing access to bibliographic information on agricultural science and technology. The database is maintained by CIARD, and its content is provided by participating institutions from all around the globe that form the network of AGRIS centers (find out more here). One of the main objectives of AGRIS is to improve the access and exchange of information serving the information-related needs of developed and developing countries on a partnership basis.
AGRIS contains over 8 million bibliographic references on agricultural research and technology & links to related data resources on the Web, like DBPedia, World Bank, Nature, FAO Fisheries and FAO Country profiles.
More specifically
AGRIS is at the same time:
A collaborative network of more than 150 institutions from 65 countries, maintained by FAO of the UN, promoting free access to agricultural information.
A multilingual bibliographic database for agricultural science, fuelled by the AGRIS network, containing records largely enhanced with AGROVOC, FAO’s multilingual thesaurus covering all areas of interest to FAO, including food, nutrition, agriculture, fisheries, forestry, environment etc.
A mash-up Web application that links the AGRIS knowledge to related Web resources using the Linked Open Data methodology to provide as much information as possible about a topic within the agricultural domain.
Opening up & enriching information on agricultural research
AGRIS’ mission is to improve the accessibility of agricultural information available on the Web by:
- Maintaining and enhancing AGRIS, a bibliographic repository for repositories related to agricultural research.
- Promoting the exchange of common standards and methodologies for bibliographic information.
- Enriching the AGRIS knowledge by linking it to other relevant resources on the Web.
AGRIS is also part of the CIARD initiative, in which CGIAR, GFAR and FAO collaborate in order to create a community for efficient knowledge sharing in agricultural research and development.
AGRIS covers the wide range of subjects related to agriculture, including forestry, animal husbandry, aquatic sciences and fisheries, human nutrition, and extension. Its content includes unique grey literature such as unpublished scientific and technical reports, theses, conference papers, government publications, and more. A growing number (around 20%) of bibliographical records have a corresponding full text document on the Web which can easily be retrieved by Google.

Displaying 1356 - 1360 of 9579Influences of manure derived from Samegawa Village on N mineralization and physical properties of the soil in the new paddy field for recycling agriculture
This study was carried out in order to obtain basic data for propelling recycling agriculture using compost derived from Samegawa Village, Fukushima. The field experiments were conducted using rice cultivar, Koshihikari in paddy field No. 1 (700 square m) and No. 2 (900 square m). Top dry weight of rice plants and nitrogen concentration of the top, and grain yield were measured. Also nitrogen mineralization rate of the soils was investigated in water-logged soil. It was obvious that not only top dry weight at maturity and grain yield but nitrogen mineralization rate were low.
1923-1950 YILLARI ARASINDAKİ TÜRKİYE'DE TOPRAK DAĞILIMI VE TOPRAK REFORMU POLİTİKASININ SONUÇLARI
A new state of the Republic of Turkey, but it took over institutional and economic structure of Ottoman Empire. The agricultural structure and relations of production was one of them. 80% of Turkish society was living in villages and the agricultural was constituted the basic dynamics of economy. The distribution of land in agricultural enterprises was not fair. 76% of the population living in the rural land had 7.3% of arable land and the average land size was 24.9 decare.
Establishment of site index curves and taper tables for sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) plantations in Nagasaki Prefecture
In order to develop the original long-term cutting age management standard of Sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) plantaions in Nagasaki prefecture, site index curves and taper tables of Sugi plantations were created. 1) Site idex curves were revised up after 40-50 years on stand age, and rate of height growth was not decreased remarkably. 2) On the average relative stem curve, the determination coefficient of polynomial expression was 0.9799. 3) The new taper tables could be applied to trees whose height from 15 to 31 m and DBH from 15 to 50 cm.
СADASTRAL ASSESSMENT OF NEWLY FORMED AGRICULTURAL LANDS
State cadastral assessment of agricultural lands conducts to determine their cadastral cost. Its results affect the interests of all land relation subjects. The main scope of the cadastral cost of lands’ use is creation of the basis for the taxation of lands. At present time, the newly formed cadastral assessment of lands is regulated by the methodological guidelines approved by the Economic Development and Trade Ministry of the Russian Federation on 12.08.2006, N 222.
