Fungi: Exploring Their Meaning, Structure, Lifecycle, and Reproductive Processes
What Are fungi? Fungi can be single-celled or multicellular organisms. They are present in almost any habitat, but most live on the ground, instead of in the sea or freshwater, mostly in soil or plant material. In soil or on decaying plants, a community called the decomposers develops where they play a significant role in the recycling of carbon and other elements. Some are disease-causing plant ...

Salicylic acid for plants.
In reality the use of salicylic acid for plants has several benefits. In 1933, salicylic acid (SA) was first proposed to develop acquired immunity after disease infection. However, most of our knowledge about plant immune signalling has mainly been recent after it was found that salicylic acid (SA) is defence signal derived from within the plant.

Your Cereal Seeding Rate Matters Too
24 years ago when I first started in this business, almost every farmer planted canola at exactly the same rate. No matter how sandy or loamy, high or low moisture, productive or thin-yielding the land, and no matter how plump or slim the seed, we planted 10 acres to the bag. But, because canola seed is expensive and canola companies were invested in optimal production, seeding rate practices ...

Side-band injection of acidified cattle slurry as starter P-fertilization for maize seedlings
Abstract Accumulation of phosphorus (P) in agricultural soils has caused increasing environmental concerns. Maize cropped for fodder implies return of animal manures rich in nutrients. In addition, starter fertilization with mineral P is used in cold conditions for maize cropping. It was hypothesized that the use of the additional mineral P could be excluded by increased availability of the P ...
