Postharvest loss estimation of cut rose ( Rosa hybrida ) flower farms: economic analysis in East Shoa Zone, Ethiopia
Despite the sector’s role of sustaining economic growth, there is considerable loss in rose cut flower production due to improper postharvest handling. This study’s survey was conducted from first week of February to last week of April, 2011 in three districts of East Shoa Zone, Ethiopia for estimating farm level postharvest loss in rose cut flower production. The postharvest loss at ...

SOYPOD: a model of fruit set in soybean
The soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] plant matches its reproductive potential to environmental conditions by adjusting the number of fruits and seeds that it produces. This adjustment is an important, but not well understood, part of the yield production process. Developing a model of fruit set will contribute greatly to a better understanding of the determination of fruit number and yield. The ...

The Production of Valentine's Day Fashion Flower Box
1. Repair the required flowers. Here is the red rose (for example, red dragonfly). Use a spiral method to make a round bouquet. The size can be controlled as needed. 2. Start cutting the flower box wrapping paper. Cut the first one out of the right size. Fold left and right and tilt up, placing the bouquet to the left. 3. The second one cuts the appropriate size in the same way. Fold right ...

Plant regeneration via direct somatic embryogenesis in Panax japonicus
Panax japonicus is one of the important medicinal plants. Here, we established the protocol for plant regeneration of P. japonicus via direct somatic embryogenesis. Somatic embryos were directly obtained from the segments of zygotic embryos on MS medium with 4.4 μM 2,4-D. Thereafter, somatic embryos were produced by repetitive secondary somatic embryogenesis. The secondary somatic embryo ...

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 ...

Composed based growing and potting media source Material - Production - Market - Utilisation – Use
The increasing biological waste treatment (composting) in Germany provides now and in future sufficient quantities of composts for the most different markets. However a closed loop management is only sensible if the produced composts can be utilised in a profitable manner. For the time being the Stender GmbH, as a manufacturer of growing media, is exclusively interested in growing media quality ...

Enhancement of salt tolerance in transgenic rice expressing an Escherichia coli catalase gene, kat E
Rice (Oryza sativa) is sensitive to salt stresses and cannot survive under low salt conditions, such as 50 mM NaCl. In an attempt to improve salt tolerance of rice, we introduced katE, a catalase gene of Escherichia coli, into japonica rice cultivar, Nipponbare. The resultant transgenic rice plants constitutively expressing katE were able to grow for more than 14 days in the presence of 250 mM ...

Pesticide runoff from greenhouse production
A research has been undertaken studying pesticide residues in water from greenhouses and the use of soils and filter materials to reduce such losses. The pesticides detected in water samples collected downstream greenhouses include 9 fungicides, 5 herbicides and 4 insecticides. 10 compounds from flower and vegetable productions were frequently found to exceed environmental risk levels, and with a ...

Improper Use of Chemicals in Farming A Case Study
In India, thousands of tonnes of crop gets destroyed every year due to improper use of insecticides, pesticides, plant growth regulators etc. This destruction of crop can happen either if a farmer uses these chemicals without any scientific knowledge by themselves or by relying on their local shops. Most of the times, the people handling these local shops do not have any ...

Effects of the herbicide dicamba on non‐target plants and pollinator visitation
Nearly 80% of all pesticides applied to row crops are herbicides, and these applications pose potentially significant ecotoxicological risks to non‐target plants and associated pollinators. In response to the widespread occurrence of weed species resistant to glyphosate, biotechnology companies have developed crops resistant to the synthetic‐auxin herbicides dicamba or 2,4‐D, and once ...

Choosing the Right Light for Young Plants
Horticulture lighting research has been conducted on young plants (germination, seedlings, plugs and cuttings) for many years. Michigan State University published a series of articles in Greenhouse Grower (see references below) on bedding plant seedlings. In their research, Drs. Wollaeger and Runkle experimented with different LED wavelengths and compared them to fluorescent light on seedling ...

Sustainability of Current Agricultural Practices in The Cameron Highlands, Malaysia
Cameron Highlands is a mountainous region with steep slopes. Gradients exceeding 20∘ are common. The climate is favourable to the cultivation of tea, sub-tropical vegetables and flowers (under rain-shelter). Crop production is sustained by high fertiliser and manure applications. However, agriculture in this environment is characterised by high levels of soil erosion and environmental ...
