During the past few years a fruit drop symptom has been observed in several blueberry fields in Oregon, Washington and B.C. The plants flower normally, though the young leaves and flowers have a transient red coloration that is absent in healthy plants. The fruit develops to 3-5 mm in diameter and then aborts so that affected bushes mature virtually no fruit. The incidence within fields increas...

The relevance of this discussion of the practical and theoretical implications of the responses of G. m. morsitans and G. pallidipes to vegetation depends on the extent to which the modelling of movement in relation to bushes and baits can be used to supplement results of field experiments. The model simplifies the real patterns of movement, uses crude maps and employs rough estimates for impor...

This study was aimed to the examination of the effect of tillage row spacing and bush spacing on the performance and components of Phaseou vulgaris var. (line: cos16). The investigation was conducted as cut terraces and in terms of complete random blocks in three replicates at Brujerd Agricultural Research and Natural Resources in the agricultural year 2009-2010. Here, the main terraces with th...

The machine to be designed and developed with a view to resolve one ofthe irksome problems of this institute has been facing every year. This institute issurrounded by vast non- fertile land area of about 200 acres, which becomes widelyoccupied by numerous breads of bushes and shrubs during post-rainy season. Due tothis unwanted proliferation of such verdant institute gets abysmal look and that...

Based on the concept of ambient intelligence, we utilized wireless sensor network (WSN) and vision-based tracking technologies to create an interactive WSN-Bar. WSN-Bar is an interactive and innovative creation which has two modules: Garden of Light and Vivacious Bushes. It refers the variety of natural environmental factors and focuses on the relationship between human and nature. WSN-Bar can ...

This study is based on oribatid mite materials collected by swiping bushes in central Madagascar. Four species are identified; a new subgenus and two species, Afreremella (Arboreremella) n. subgen., with type madagascarensis sp. (Eremellidae), Lucoppia ankaratraensis (Oribatulidae) described. An identification key to known representatives of provided. The initial subgeneric status Eremella (Arc...

Flora and vegetation data of the nature monument regional importance “Elandinsky stones” (Tselinnyy district, Altai Krai) are given. comprises 283 species higher vascular plants, including 2 rare species: Paeonia hybrida, Stipa pennata. Vegetation is represented by petrophyte forb-feathergrass steppe, for Bijsk-Chumysh upland, forb-grasses meadow, birch forests bushes.

This paper summarizes unpublished information and isolated field observation records on the principal predators (9 vertebrates, 10 insect 2 orb weaver a terrestrial spider species) parasites (an one mite of B. argentatus non economic, highly specialized monophagous grasshopper species creosote bushes Larrea tridentata in Mapimi Biosphere Reserve, southern region Chihuahuan Desert.

Acerola bushes were observed showing symptoms of shoot proliferation, generalized stunting, yellowing and decline. Since these are typically induced by phytoplasmas, this survey was carried out with the aim detecting, identifying classifying supposed phytoplasma present in symptomatic bushes. Total DNA extracted from asymptomatic samples used nested PCR conducted primer pairs R16mF2/mR1 followe...
