Electronic Nose for Indoor Mold Detection and Identification

Advanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.
This study explores the potential of a SnO2 nanowire‐based chemiresistive electronic nose not only to detect but also to identify two common indoor mold species, Stachybotrys chartarum and Chaetomium globosum on two different growth substrates. In a laboratory setup, the electronic nose displays high classification performance using optimized linear ...

The effect of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) sowing rates on weed establishment, after one year : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Plant Science at Massey University [PDF]

, 2001
Two trials were conducted to determine whether the weed control benefits of high sowing rates of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) continued into the second year after sowing. Seeds of Scotch thistle (Cirsium vulgare), nodding thistle (Carduus nutans),

Long‐Term Elevated CO2 Improves Soil Health and Rice Yields in Paddy Fields

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Combining the two longest‐running rice free‐air CO2 enrichment experiments with a global data synthesis, this study demonstrates that long‐term elevated CO2 consistently enhances soil health. In rice paddies, this improvement sustains the CO2 fertilization effect over decades.

Relationship between the timing of seedbed preparation and the efficacy of pre-emergence flaming [PDF]

, 2002
The field experiments were conducted in 1995 and 1996. Seedbed preparation was done with a rotary tiller to 15-20 cm depth either 5-7 days prior to sowing of carrot or at the day of sowing.

Specific interactions leading to transgressive overyielding in cover crop mixtures [PDF]

, 2017
Growing mixtures of species instead of sole crops is expected to increase the ecosystem services provided by cover crops. This study aimed at understanding the interactions between species and investigating how they affect the performance of the mixture.

2‐line Ferrihydrite Enhance Microbial Synthesis of Plant Biostimulants in Composted Biosolid by Regulating Phyla Pseudomonadota and Actinomycetota

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study explores how iron and manganese oxides transform sewage sludge into plant biostimulants during composting. Non‐targeted identification reveals the main species of plant biostimulants. Metagenomic analysis reveals that 2‐line ferrihydrite specifically enriches microbial genes for biosynthesis, boosting plant‐growth promoters.

The effect of weather conditions, soil type and sowing density on the productivity of maize [PDF]

Journal of Agricultural Sciences (Belgrade)
High maize yields can only be achieved on fertile, loose and well-permeable soils. Previous research indicates that novel maize hybrids respond favorably to higher crop density.

Sowing time affects the abundance of pests and weeds in winter rye [PDF]

, 2006
Selection of an appropriate sowing time for some winter rye (Secale cereale) cultivars could reduce the need for crop protection measures. In this study the occurrence and status of pests and weeds in relation to sowing time and growth habit of winter ...

Ratoon Season Rice Reduces Methane Emissions by Limiting Acetic Acid Transport to the Rhizosphere and Inhibiting Methanogens

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study finds that the interaction between ABA‐OsCIPK2‐OsSWEET1A reduces the allocation of methane producing bacteria carbon source (acetic acid) content to the rhizosphere soil of ratoon season rice, thereby reducing methane emissions. Abstract Rice paddies are a major, persistent source of atmospheric methane (CH4), emission rates depend on the ...
