Growth, Yield and Quality of Rosa hybrida L. as Influenced by NaCl Salinity

The effects of sodium chloride (NaCl) salinity (control; canal water with 0.4 dS m-1), 2.5 dSm-1, 5.0 dS m-1, 7.5 dS m-1 and 10.0 dS m-1, respectively) developed after 6 weeks of pruning (beginning of study) on plant growth, flowering and quality of three cut rose (Rosa hybrida L.) cultivars viz. ‘Kardinal’, ‘Angelique’ and ‘Gold Medal’ were studied to achieve better management, quality product...

Pleometrosis in phyllode-glueing thrips (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae) on Australian Acacia

The manner in which colonies are established can be an important factor in the evolution of social behaviour in insects. Most social insects begin new colonies by haplometrosis, i.e. by a single female or gyne. Pleometrosis is the mode of colony initiation in which two or more females or gynes cooperate to produce a new colony. Comparison of these two modes of founding has provided useful insig...

Growth of a mangrove (Rhizophora apiculata) seedlings as influenced by GA3, light and salinity.

The growth performance of Rhizophora apiculata Blume (mangrove) seedlings in the presence and absence of exogenous gibberellic acid (GA3) under different combinations of salinity and light was analyzed. Root and shoot growth responses of 75-day old seedlings in liquid-culture, were measured. It was concluded that light exhibited a significant inhibitory effect on all the growth parameters-numbe...

Growth and biomass distribution of cherrybark oak (Quercus pagoda Raf.) seedlings as influenced by light availability

Cherrybark oak (Quercrrs pagoda Raf.) seedlings were established and raised in the field under four light levels (100%. 53%. 27% or 8% of full sunlight) to study the effects of light availability on their shoot growth, biomass accumulation, and biomass distribution. After two growing seasons, greatest stem growth was observed on seedlings which received intermediate light levels, and this growt...
