Growth and phosphorus uptake of three riparian grass species
Riparian buffers can significantly reduce sediment-bound P entering surface water, but control of dissolved P inputs is more challenging. Because plant roots remove P from soil solution, it follows that plant uptake can reduce dissolved P losses. We evaluated P uptake of smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss.), reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.), and switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) ...

How crop registration boosts quality, quantity & consistency
Crop registration - an essential piece of the puzzle No matter how well controlled a growing environment is, environmental conditions are bound to vary from time to time. This can be due to the weather conditions in your natural climate, interactions between different plant species or even changes in your operational practices. It’s essential to gain knowledge and understanding of all of ...

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 ...
