Spatial and Temporal Factors in Weed Interference with Newly Planted Apple Trees

Mixtures for Weed Control in Newly Planted Loblolly Pine

Imazapyr, metsulfuron methyl, imazapyr plus metsulfuron methyl, and hexazinone plus metsulfuron methyl were aerially applied over newly planted and l-year-old loblolly pine seedlings for the control of blackberry (Rubus species), composites (Compositae), sumac (Rhus copallina L.), and trumpet vine [Campsis radicans (L.) Seemann]. The study was installed at three locations with three replication...

Survival and Growth Factors Affecting Community-Planted Urban Street Trees

Remobilization and uptake of N by newly planted apple (Malus domestica) trees in response to irrigation method and timing of N application.

Environmentally sound management of N in apple orchards requires that N supply meets demand. In 1997, newly planted apple trees (Malus domestica Borkh. var. Golden Delicious on M.9 rootstock) received daily applications of N for six weeks as Ca(15NO3)(2) through a drip irrigation system at a concentration of 112 mg l(-1) at 2-8, 5-11 or 8-14 weeks after planting. Irrigation water was applied ei...

Temporal factors in tactile spatial acuity: evidence for RA interference in fine spatial processing.

We investigated the extent to which subjects' ability to perceive the fine spatial structure of a stimulus depends on its temporal properties (namely the frequency at which it vibrates). Subjects were presented with static or vibrating gratings that varied in spatial period (1-8 mm) and vibratory frequency (5-80 Hz) and judged the orientation of the gratings, presented either parallel or perpen...

A Viroid Resembling Hop Stunt Viroid in Infected Apple Trees with Apple Scar Skin Disease in the Northeast of Iran

Abstract Background and Aims: Apple scar skin disease (ASSD) is one of the destructive diseases of pome fruits which is caused by ASSVd. Case presentation: We report molecular detection of ASSVd in symptomatic apples cv. Red Delicious with simultaneous presence of a new variant of HSVd from Khorasan Razavi province. Conclusion: This is the first report on the association of HSVd with...
