Foliar fertilization in Bermuda grass DiscoveryTM

Foliar fertilization in citriculture

certainly not a new concept to the citrus industry. For more than five decades, foliar fertilization of citrus has been recommended to correct zinc, manganese, boron, copper and magnesium deficiencies. It is now common knowledge in agriculture that properly nourished crops may tolerate insect pests and diseases. Traditionally, citrus growers try to achieve optimum nutrition through direct soil ...

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 Iron Fertilization – A Critical Review

Major alkaloids of a Claviceps isolated from toxic Bermuda grass.

in terms of evaluation of Pu hazards in the environment because (i) root crops directly consumed by man may contain Pu a t levels exceeding those found in other crop plants in which the tops are consumed, (ii) Pu, considered largely immobile in soil (Francis, 1973), may be distributed much further down the soil profile than previously expected due to its mobility in the plant root system, and (...

Sodium hydroxide pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis of coastal Bermuda grass.

Coastal Bermuda grass was pretreated with NaOH at concentrations from 0.5% to 3% (w/v) for a residence time from 15 to 90min at 121 degrees C. The pretreatments were evaluated based on total lignin removal and production of total reducing sugars, glucose and xylose from enzymatic hydrolysis of the pretreated biomass. Up to 86% lignin removal was observed. The optimal NaOH pretreatment condition...
