Foliar Fertilization of Soybeans

Extensive research addressed foliar fertilization of soybeans at reproductive stages during the 70s and 80s. The soybean plant has been characterized by markedly reduced root activity during late seed development and increased translocation of nutrients and metabolites from other tissue into the seed. This depletion of nutrients from leaves could result in decreased photosynthesis, leaf senesce...

Foliar Potassium Application on Olive Tree

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of potassium (K) fertilization on vegetative growth, fruit production and leaf mineral content of olive tree (Olea europeae L.) under rainfed condition. Different fertilizer, techniques and rates of application were applied in 2003 on Chemlali olive. The potassium fertilizer used was potassium nitrate. The foliar fertilizer rates were 50 an...

A Practical Guide to Differential Diagnosis of Small B Cell Lymphomas

Correct diagnosis and classification of lymphoid neoplasms depends on the integration of morphologic, immunophenotypic and molecular genetic features. The mature small B cell lymphomas despite their overlapping histomorphologies, have different clinical behavior and treatment. In this review, differentia...
