Taro leaf and stylo forage as protein sources for pigs in Laos [PDF]
, 2012 Existing forage plants may have applications as alternative protein resources for pigs in smallholder farming systems. This thesis examined the effect of harvesting/defoliation interval on the yield and chemical composition of taro leaves and stylo ...

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.The findings of this study indicate that powdery mildew control achieved with the pneumatic solid set canopy delivery system (PSD‐SSCDS) was comparable with that of a conventional airblast sprayer. These results highlight the PSD‐SSCDS as a promising alternative spray technology. Abstract BACKGROUND In this study, a previously optimized pneumatic spray

Fungal disease management in cotton using plant protection products: An Australian perspective
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Cotton disease management requires evidence‐driven use of plant protection products. Progress hinges on integrating chemistry, diagnostics, stewardship and sustainability to build resilient production systems. Abstract Cotton production faces persistent challenges from pathogens that compromise plant establishment, yield, and fibre quality.

Cultural methods for controlling docks in organically farmed grassland (extension 1998-99) (OFT0115T) [PDF]
, 1999 Docks are considered to be one of the main weed problems of grassland. The absence of an effective non-chemical control may be a deterrent to organic-conversion for farmers accustomed to using herbicides for dock control. This work addresses this problem

Effect of Planting Date, Clipping Height, and Cultivar on Forage and Grain Yield of Winter Wheat in Argentinean Pampas [PDF]
, 2006 In Argentinean Pampas, new wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars are routinely introduced to farmers for dual-purpose production. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of planting date, clipping height on forage, and grain yield for ...

Breaking down seagrass fragmentation in a marine heatwave impacted World Heritage Area
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Habitat fragmentation can exacerbate the impacts of habitat loss but is rarely quantified in marine environments. Using satellite‐derived habitat maps, we identify widespread seagrass fragmentation following a marine heatwave that contributed to a dramatic shift in seascape structure in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area.

A study of the effect of the frequency of spring cutting on the regrowth and resulting yield of lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science at Massey University [PDF]
, 1968 There is abundant evidence to show that the yield, stand, chemical composition and the feeding value of lucerne may be materially affected by varying the cutting interval. Therefore, the purpose of the field experiment reported here was to determine the

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant phenology is crucial for understanding plant growth and climate feedback. It affects canopy structure, surface albedo, and carbon and water fluxes. While the influence of environmental factors on phenology is well‐documented, the role of plant intrinsic factors ...
