Determinants of plant performance dynamics: empirical analysis of the manufacturing sector in Indonesia, 1990-2000
We identify determinants of plant dynamics and find their differences before, during, and after the Asian financial crisis. The results show that the distinction of the crisis is important and the effects of the crisis do not seem to persist after 1998. Furthermore, we reject Gibrat's law as the right functional form to describe plant growth. We are not able to support empirically the theoretical ...

Joint immobilization of plant growth-promoting bacteria and green microalgae in alginate beads as an experimental model for studying plant-bacterium interactions
A simple, quantitative experimental model, offering a convenient and basic approach to studies of plant-bacterium interactions, is proposed. This involves immobilizing a unicellular, freshwater microalga, a Chlorella species, serving as the plant, with a plant growth-promoting bacterium, an Azospirillum species, in small alginate beads to allow close interaction and to avoid external ...

Sensitivity analysis of the CERES-wheat model for variations in CO2 and meteorological factors in Northwest Turkey
Plant growth is very sensitive to variations in atmospheric factors. Possible effects of climate change on plant growth can be estimated and evaluated using the crop growth simulation models. In this study, the CERES (Crop Environment Resource Synthesis)-wheat model was applied to two consequent growing seasons (1997–1998 and 1998–1999) in order to determine the model sensitivity on the changes ...

Occurrence and proposed cause of hollow husk in maize
In 2007, a maize (Zea mays L.) ear abnormality that we term here as 'hollow husk' occurred in research trials designed to alter the level or the sensing of plant ethylene. The unique experimental conditions of 2007 enabled us to document the occurrence of hollow husk and propose a physiological mechanism for its cause. Ears exhibiting hollow husk have normal appearing husks that feel hollow due ...

Bio-stimulants Effect on Pepper Plant Performance Case Study
Two bio-stimulants were tested, along with a normal nutrition control treatment, in order to determine the effect on sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum) plant growth, water use efficiency, drought tolerance and resilience. All plants, excluding control plants, were exposed to drought and recovery period, and their physiological response was ...

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 ...

Advantages of auxin analogues as plant growth and productivity regulators
The possibility of regulating productivity of potato plants by applying the promising analogues of auxin compounds TA-12, TA-59, LN-14, LN-16 has been proved experimentally. The compounds at optimal concentrations (TA-12 1.0, TA-59 0.5, LN-14 and LN-16 1.0 kg/ha) were found to activate the process of tuber formation, increasing the number of tubers and accumulation of assimilates in tubers. TA-12 ...

Recent advances on endophytic fungi optimising soil environment
Plants encounter a plethora of conditions in the soil that are either deleterious, neutral, or beneficial to plant growth. Endophyic fungi living in plant organs have a symbiotic relationship with their hosts. In the past, many studies focused on the interactions between plants and endophytic fungi. However, in natural environment, the interactions among plant, endophytic fungi and soil are more ...

RTK and NTRIP "Level Up Accuracy" at Pollen Systems
As anyone who has navigated by their phone knows, standalone GPS can be inaccurate to tens of feet. In order to measure individual plant growth in a crop, we needed to improve both our capture mechanisms and our analytics to filter out ground cover and other obstacles from the data required to collect accurate sample data on each and every flight. At Pollen Systems, we aim to collect data that ...

100% Faster Growth of Dragon Fruit in the USA - Case Study
Details: KR Citrus grows dragon fruit plants for resale to retail gardening chains. The Kyminasi Plant Booster (KPB) technology was installed in May 2020 to accelerate plant ...

Effects of low-dose irradiation on two plant models: Stipa capillata and Pisum sativum
Plants are useful models for assessing the effects of radiation. We describe a short synthesis of our more recent results: radio-induced oxidative stress – our data suggest in chronically irradiated seeds of Stipa capillata a natural selection of the most adapted genotypes characterised by the capacity of induction of enzymes involved in the defence against radioactive stress; growth, ...

Cotton Planting date: yield, seedling survival, and plant growth
New cultivars, changes in technology and production practices, and climate change may have altered the optimal planting time for cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) in the midsouthern United States. A field experiment was conducted from 2002 through 2005 on Gigger silt loam to define planting date (PD) effects on selected cotton cultivars. Six cultivars in 2002 (Deltapine DP555BR and Delta Pearl, ...

Salinity effects on seed germination and plant growth of guar
The potential of guar [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.] as a feasible crop for saline soils was tested in this study by evaluating seed germination of 42 accessions of guar in sodium chloride (NaCl) solution. The seeds were germinated in 200 mM NaCl or double-distilled water (control). There were significant differences in salt tolerance among the accessions tested. Percentages of seeds ...

Inter-annual variability and interaction of remote-sensed vegetation indexand atmospheric precipitation in the Aral Sea region
The remotely sensed Normalized Difference Vegetation Index(AVHRR NDVI) and precipitation data were analysed in the Aral Sea region in Central Asia during two recent decades. Both variables exhibited pronounced seasonal variation, with maximum precipitation in March and maximum NDVI in May–June. The regions of synchronous seasonal and interannual variability between the vegetation indexand ...

Yield and plant growth response of peanut to midseason forage harvest
Harvesting of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) foliage during the growing season may increase farm revenue through the sale of peanut hay; however, it is unknown how the peanut plant will respond to forage removal with respect to plant characteristics, pod yield, quality, and revenue. This experiment was a randomized complete block design where peanut foliage was harvested or sprayed with a plant ...

Plant Expansion and Job Growth
Announcing Workforce Additions and 40 Percent Increase in Factory Square Footage We’re thrilled to announce our intent, pending permitting, to expand our two factories in Rhinelander, adding production capacity and team members to meet growing demand. The planned plant expansion begins later this year and will increase overall plant square footage by 40 percent across the two ...

Differential responses of cotton cultivars when applying mepiquat pentaborate
Plant growth regulators are routinely used in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production to reduce plant height and hasten maturity. The objective of this research was to determine the response of several cotton cultivars to mepiquat pentaborate (MPB) application in environments accumulating different levels of heat units. Four MPB application regimes were imposed on three cultivars in Virginia ...

Impacts of chemical amendment and plant growth on lead speciation and enzyme activities in a shooting range soil: An X-ray absorption fine structure investigation
In situ chemical immobilization is a practical remediation technology for metal-contaminated soils because of its capability to reduce cost and environmental impacts. We assessed the immobilization effects of poultry waste amendment and plant growth (Panicum maximum Jacq.) on Pb speciation and enzyme activities in shooting range soils. Soil contaminated with Pb was obtained from the top 20 cm of ...

Treatment of urea manufacturing facility effluent by Hopea odorata and Khaya ivorensis
Phytoremediation is an environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative for treatment of nitrogen-enriched wastewaters. In this study, Ta-khian (Hopea odorata) and Lagos mahogany (Khaya ivorensis), two tropical timber plants, were investigated for their performances in treatment of urea manufacturing factory effluent with high nitrogen (N) content. Plant seedlings received four ...
