Effect of daily movement of dairy cattle to fresh grass in morning or afternoon on intake, grazing behaviour, rumen fermentation and milk production [PDF]
Twenty Holstein cows were split into two equal groups to test the effect of daily move to a previously ungrazed strip after morning milking (MA) or afternoon milking (AA) on herbage intake, grazing behaviour, rumen characteristics and milk production ...

A new polymeric nanoparticle formulation containing aminophenoxazinone DiS‐NH2 (2,2′‐disulfanediyldianiline) is proposed as a post‐emergence and contact bioherbicide for weed management in durum wheat. Abstract BACKGROUND Weed‐resistance phenomena have increased dramatically in recent years. Bioherbicides can offer a sustainable alternative to chemical

Summary Plants modify their root hydraulics to maintain water status and strategically use soil water, but how they achieve this in the field conditions remains elusive. We developed a method to measure and calculate daily root water uptake, root water potential, and radial root water permeability at different depths in a wheat (Triticum aestivum L ...

XMLlab : multimedia publication of simulations applets using XML and Scilab [PDF]
We present an XML-based simulation authoring environment. The proposed description language allows to describe mathematical objects such as systems of ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations in two dimensions, or simple curves and surfaces. It also allows to describe the parameters on which these objects depend. This language is

Allelopathic effects of Rumex obtusifolius leaf extracts against native grassland species [PDF]
In perennial grasslands R. obtusifolius (broad-leaved dock) is often surrounded by certain plant species. Thus, it is hypothesized for the current study that Rumex can affect their neighbouring plant species by allelopathic interactions.

Assessing risks and benefits of floral supplements in conservation biological control [PDF]
The use of flowering field margins is often proposed as a method to support biological control in agro-ecosystems. In addition to beneficial insects, many herbivores depend on floral food as well.

ABSTRACT Increasing intraspecific diversity within crop systems is a promising strategy to manage aerial diseases, particularly those caused by fungal aerial pathogens. This review examines how cultivar mixtures reduce disease incidence and severity using the phytobiome framework, identifying three major types of processes: (1) physical ones, which ...

H.E.S.S. limits on line-like dark matter signatures in the 100 GeV to 2 TeV energy range close to the Galactic Centre [PDF]
A search for dark matter line-like signals was performed in the vicinity of the Galactic Centre by the H.E.S.S. experiment on observational data taken in 2014. An unbinned likelihood analysis was developed to improve the sensitivity to line-like signals.
