Behavioural and chemical ecology underlying the success of turnip rape (Brassica rapa) trap crops in protecting oilseed rape (Brassica napus) from the pollen beetle (Meligethes aeneus)
There is increasing interest in the use of trap crops as components of integrated pest management (IPM) strategies. Understanding the mechanisms underlying host plant preferences of herbivorous pests can lead to improved effectiveness and reliability of the trap crop. We investigated the behavioural and chemical ecology underlying the success of turnip rape, Brassica rapa, trap crops in ...

CO2 Foliar Spray Effects on Flower Growth Case Study
Indoor use of CO2 gassing has enhanced plant yields for over 60 years. However, over 50% of the CO2 gas is typically lost through ventilation. Current greenhouse CO2 gassing levels of up to 1500 PPM are also not ideal for worker health and safety. GRO's safer dissolved CO2 foliar spray can be used by indoor and outdoor plant growers with minimal CO2 gas lost and greater plant bioavailability ...

Varietal differences and morphology of cleistogamy in soybean
Cleistogamy, the production of open (chasmogamous, CH) and closed (cleistogamous, CL) floral forms by one species, is present in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. Soybean cultivars that originated from high latitudes generally have a strong tendency to produce CL flowers. The first objective of this study was to determine varietal differences in cleistogamy. The second objective was to observe ...

Maize kernel oil and episodes of shading during the grain-filling period
Previous studies documented the stability of maize (Zea mays L.) kernel oil concentration for a wide range of kernel weights promoted by contrasting post-flowering assimilate availabilities per kernel (i.e., source–sink ratios). These studies mainly modified the sink size with a low impact on the source size. In this study, we focused on kernel oil concentration response to source–sink ratio ...

Modeling anthesis to silking in maize using a plant biomass framework
The capacity to predict time to silking relative to anthesis in maize (Zea mays L.) has important implications for breeding and seed production. We developed a theoretical quantitative framework for simulating the anthesis to silking interval (ASI) based on plant growth and biomass partitioning to the ear. We tested this framework to simulate the progress of silking relative to anthesis in nine ...

UbiBot SP1 For Greenhouse Light Regulation
To grow plant plants in greenhouses, you need light. The amount of light a plant receives determines the length of time a plan remains active and its rate of growth. The most basic metabolic process of the plant is photosynthesis, and photosynthesis requires light energy. Three Aspects of Light Effect There are three aspects of light that should be considered when determining the effect that ...

Ploidy determination and agronomic characterization of small burnet germplasm
Small burnet (Sanguisorba minor Scop.) is an evergreen forb readily utilized by livestock and wildlife that lacks persistence under heavy grazing. Our objective was to characterize all available National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) small burnet germplasm for ploidy level and agronomic characteristics before initiating a breeding program. Ploidy level was determined by flow cytometry. Forage ...

The most cultivated crop in the Netherlands: Onion
Did you know that onions are the most cultivated crop in The Netherlands? and that it is the most widely cultivated species of the genus Allium worldwide? This crop is an herbaceous bulbous plant that is cultivated for bulb production either as biannual or perennial, depending on the cultivation conditions. Onions are among the most widely adapted vegetable crops that can be grown under a wide ...

Autumn Strawberry Update: the chances of botrytis and rots developing on the fruits have increased due to weather
Soft Fruit Agronomist, Dr Neil Holmes, gives an autumn strawberry update. As strawberry crops approach the autumn season, several challenges remain for late 60-day June bearer and ever bearer crops. Inclement weather over recent weeks has increased the chances of botrytis and rots developing on the fruits. By the time grey mould has developed on the fruit, there is little that can be done to ...

Tree, Crop & Plant Stress – A Primer on Abiotic and Biotic Stressors
The natural conditions in which plants and trees grow are neither uniform nor controlled. Many changes or fluctuations, even if they are temporary, can have a negative impact on and stress plants. The factors which can lead to stress can be one of two types: abiotic or biotic. Stress can have serious repercussions on various phases of a plant’s growth and, ultimately, crop productivity. ...

Why to use sulphur coated urea fertilizer
With the continuous improvement of the level of agricultural science and technology, the promotion of high-yield varieties, the improvement of land re cultivation index, and the vigorous development of economic crops, flowers and urban greening. The growth of crops and the ecological balance of nutrients in the soil are becoming more and more serious, and the phenomenon of crop sulfur deficiency ...

cheap 50 72 128cell trays wholesale supplier
Due to the need for higher temperature, it is necessary to sprinkle some warm water on the leaves regularly. Plants placed in a dry environment can put a layer of wet small gravel in the flower pot to promote the growth of plants. Seedlings are planted from March to April in spring, or preferably from September to October in winter. Sowing before the frost season. In winter, please manage ...

One crop, two ways, multiple benefits
Nitrogen fixation is one of the best examples of cooperation in nature. Soil microbes – naturally occurring bacteria in the soil – work with plants to pull nitrogen from the air. They turn the nitrogen into a form the plant is able to use. In return, the plant lets the microbes eat some of the sugars it makes. Faba beans (also called fava beans) are one example of plants that work ...
