Investigating the effect of supportive policies on cotton acreage in Golestan Province
From the past cotton has been introduced as one of the basic and strategic goods in Iran. Golestan province, during the past years has provided a large part of the nation's cotton requirement and has become one of the main poles of cultivation of this product. In this paper, the effects of support policies on Golestan's cotton supply has been investigated by using variable of producer support estimate of cotton to competing products and estimating irrigated and dryland acreage response equations through Nerlove's partial adjustment model. The results shows that the positive effect of producer support estimate of cotton to its competing products on cotton acreage has been significant in both irrigated and dryland models. Supply elasticity’s of this variable in the irrigated model is 0.12 in short run and 0.27 in long run. In dryland model, this elasticity is 0.16 and 0.26 respectively in short run and long run. According to the results, in addition to increasing the relative profitability of cotton compared to its competitors and reducing non-programing import, rising price and non-price supports of cotton like guaranteed prices in order to motivate farmers to increase the supply of this product is suggested.

The economic contribution of forest resources use to rural livelihoods (Case study: Hezar Jarib area of Behshahr City)
Forest resources play an important role in rural livelihoods and wellbeing of hundred millions of people in developing countries. The aim of this study is determining the importance of forest products in rural household’s income and poverty levels and inequality. Economic-Social data of 160 forest fringe households of Hezar Jabir area of Behshahr city were collected using questionnaires and interviews. According to the rural poverty linein 2010 adjusted for survey year (2013), we measure poverty indices in two stages (with and without forest income). For measuring income inequality, Gini coefficient in two staged (with and without forest income) was used. We found that products from environmental resources represent an important component in rural livelihoods. Our analyses indicate that in the study area, income from forest environmental resources occupies the second largest share (%30) in average total household income. Also, by eliminating forest income, the numbers of poor people were been 1.8 times and the distance is greater than the poverty line (4.2 times). Income inequality is 1.28 times, the welfare of the rural population without forest income decrease to the extent of 323.2 million Rials. Poverty and inequality analyses show that incorporating forest environmental incomes in household accounts significantly reduces measured rural poverty and income inequality, beside poverty reduction is the background of environmental sustainability.

Feasibility assessment of integrated pest management (IPM) of walnut Zeuzera Pyrina (leopard moth) in Baft county
This survey research aimed to feasibility assessment of integrated pest management (IPM) of Walnut Zeuzera Pyrina (leopard moth) in Baft county. Statistical population of this research consisted of all the walnut growers in Baft county (N= 5750). According to Cochran formula, size of the sample was determined (n= 300). The respondents were chosen through multi-stage sampling technique. Validity of the questionnaire as research tool was confirmed by an expert group. Cronbach alpha coefficients which calculated among 0.76 to 0.89 for several scales of the questionnaire showed that reliability of the questionnaire was suitable. According to the results of Friedman test, the components of IPM of walnut Zeuzera Pyrina were ranked on the subject of feasibility assessment as: knowledge – skills capabilities, chemical operations, mechanical operations, agronomical operations, logistic-extension supporting services, economic ability, and biological operations. Correlation coefficients showed significant positive relationship between number of household members, membership in local organization, sources and channels of information about walnut cultivation, information and technical knowledge regarding walnut, the number of visits to Jihad-e-Keshavarzi office, number of cultivated varieties of walnuts, innovation in walnut cultivation, agronomical activities for controling Zeuzera Pyrina, number of household members employed in walnut growing, total annual income of walnut growing, the average yield of Walnut orchard (as independent variables) and feasibility assessment of IPM of Zeuzera Pyrina (as dependent variable). Also, comparison tests showed a significance differentiation among groups of respondents relating to feasibility assessment of IPM of Zeuzera Pyrina. Finally, using garden school's approach to training walnut growers, supplying biological inputs and advisory services, allocating credits for revitalization of walnut orchards and the use of indigenous knowledge is suggested.

Explain driving policy instruments of organic farming development in Iran
In recent years organic farming development, in spite of many potentials for growth in Iran, was very slow. This research was done to recognize driving factors of organic sector development in Iranian agriculture. The literature of the research shows that many instruments in policy making, financial support, and extension area are effective in organic development in different countries. In this basis a questionnaire was prepared on the basis of literature review of the research and after investigating reliability and validity of it, was filled by 122 persons of agricultural organization experts in six elected provinces. After doing factor analysis in SPSS software version 19, nine factors of organic farming development driving factors in Iran were extracted from 45 effective variables which they explained 83.15 percent of whole variance. Results of the research showed that the extracted factors can determine 83.15 percent of whole variance as follow: to establish structures and infrastructures, to provide the necessity funds, policy and object making, education and advisory for farmers, to identify and analyze the necessary information, advertisement and public informing, organizational coordination, regulations collection and providing, giving distinctions to investments. Thus we suggest that agricultural policy makers extend the organic products by prepare the institutional structures and financial supports on one hand and on the other hand provide proper condition to investment and marketing in this part.

Pre-test and calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficients were used to measure the reliability (0.87 - 0.94). The results showed that the average score of occupational empowerment of respondents was 7.04 out of 20 indicating weakness of situation. Using exploratory factor analysis, strategies for improving occupational empowerment of agricultural graduates were summarized to seven factors including: increasing government support, increasing relationship between the university and Agricultural Ministry, making structural changes in education, vocational training during study, making changes in educational content, changing in accepting students practices and revising curriculum. 64% of the total variance of strategies for improving occupational empowerment was explained by these seven factors.

Estimation of energy demand function in agricultural sector of Iran
Nowadays, factor of energy besides other factors such as labor and capital plays an important role in agricultural production. Energy is used as a factor for agricultural machines and instruments. Important discussion about this subject is the reaction rate of energy demand to price variations of energy and other factors. So, this study estimates the functions of energy demand in agricultural sector including electricity and diesel, and calculates the price and substitution elasticity (Allen and Morishima) between the used factors. For this purpose, trans-log cost function is used. The results showed that, the relationship between factors such as electricity and diesel, electricity and capital are substituted and the same, for diesel and capital are complemented. In general diesel in comparison with electricity is more sensitive to the variation of price (diesel & electricity). So, regarding that electricity is more cleaner and cheaper than other energy factors, it is recommended that policies encourage electricity demand and reduce diesel consumption; and for this purpose it is better to apply price policies such as diesel directly and consequently electricity to be affected.

Factors influencing on acceptance of digital library by faculty members of agricultural educational and research institutions in Guilan Province
Digital libraries have become an inevitable part of higher education and research institutions. Though the exorbitant costs are spent on access and utilization of them, research findings indicates potential users may still be ignoring them. This study assesses influencing factors on acceptance and intention of academic staff of agricultural higher education and research institutions in using of digital library based on original model designed by Venkatesh et al. (2003); a model called “The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology” (UTAUT). The model has four independent constructs of performance expectance, effort expectance, social influence and facilitating conditions; four moderator variables of gender, age, experience and voluntariness of use and together influence the dependent constructs of behavioral intentions, usage behavior.In this regard a descriptive survey for studding 85 faculty members of agricultural educational and research institutes, who were selected by disproportional stratified sampling method, was used. The validity of the questionnaire was approved by experts’ opinion. The estimated reliability, using Cronbach’s Alpha, was 0.78, which was an acceptable reliability.The collected data were analyzed using statistical, Partial squares least technique, SPSS and SPLS software tools. The results showed that effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions variables are effective factors on use of digital library.

Identifying entrepreneurial motivations of agricultural students: application of multidimensional scaling
(Case study: Campus of agriculture and natural resources, Razi University)
The main purpose of this mixed method research was to identify and prioritize the entrepreneurial motivations of agricultural students in Razi University. This research was carried out in tow phase. In qualitative phase the research population consisted of agricultural students experienced in startup an entrepreneurial business.Statistical population for second phase consisted of all agricultural fourth-year undergraduate students (N=186), that 164 of them were selected using random simple sampling method. The main instrument of this study in qualitative phase was interview and in quantitative phase was questionnaire. Findings revealed that agricultural students have the positive entrepreneurial motivations. The results of mean comparison showed that students’ entrepreneurial motivations were different based on gender, entrepreneurship training courses, entrepreneurship model, study field, entrepreneurial self-efficacy and attitude towards entrepreneurship. Based on multidimensional scaling, students’ entrepreneurial motivation was classified in two dimensions including "economic entrepreneurial motivations" and "psychological entrepreneurial motivations". Results have applications for planners of higher agricultural education system in order to improving the agricultural student's entrepreneurial motivations.

Formulate priorities of raisin exports Iran in the world market
Raisin is one of the most important agricultural products in Iran. Iran after the Turkey and America countries is the third largest exporter of raisin in world. Using the indices of export advantage, import advantage, concentration ratios and the Herfindahl-Hirschman, have been analyzed to check the state trade and market structure of export and import of raisin product in the world during 2001-2011. Results indicate that the structure of export markets have been Monopoly Multilateral Closed in the period,but it has become more competitive in 2011 than in 2001. Import market structure has been with fluctuation, so that in some years it opens multilateral monopoly and has become more competitive. Based on the results obtained observed Iran's raisin has export advantage in this period. Another noteworthy is the negative growth of Iran's export advantage (-6.8%),while America and Chile have positive growth. Correlation results in Iran's export advantage to competitors show that there is no correlation between Iran and rival nations. The correlation results of export advantage of Iran and competitors with import advantage of the top superior importers showed that with enhancement of Canada's import advantage increases Iran's export advantage. It is noteworthy, raisins export advantage of Turkey and America has positive correlation with import advantage of Canada that is serious rivals for Iran in market development in Canada. Also, Iran with Russia and Belgium has negative correlation that indicative weaken the Iran competitive power is in the markets these countries. According to results of this study, it is suggested,Iran with use of agents marketing and appropriate policies of price and trade, his export share kept in target markets and follow to find new markets to development export share of Iran’s raisins in world.

Application of Monte Carlo simulation in evaluating agricultural production risk (Case study: Gorgan county)
Agriculture sector has had a significant grow thing role in the Iran, but growth and development in this sector is not possible without a suitable risk management. This study has tried to predict and measure the risk from changing weather condition on agriculture products of Gorgan County using Mont Carlo Stimulation as one of the powerful tools on risk analysis. The results showed that the highest level of production risk is for the crop such as barley, soya and wheat and the least level of the risk is for the crops such as bean, clover and pea, respectively. To sum up, the research results indicated a significant effect of production risk in this area and therefore managers and policy makers need to notice it.
