Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) is an annual oil crop that accounts for approximately 1 % of the world's oilseed supplies. It produces seeds that are rich in the health-promoting ω-3 fatty acid, α-linolenic. In Kenya, linseed is grown in the Rift Valley and Western regions, places which often experience drought. This study was aimed at evaluating the effect of water stress on growth of three l...

Since Plattner and Clauson-Kaas* have isolated the tomato-wilting agent elaborated by the pathogenic fungus Fusarium lycopersici, and have shown it to be a peptide containing aspartic acid, the idea occurred to the author that this toxic substance might be an inhibitory structural analogue of strepogenin.2s 3 This working hypothesis arose because considerable evidence had been found in this lab...

This study was undertaken to develop new pedotransfer functions (PTFs) for the estimation of soil moisture content at field capacity (FC, −33 kPa) and permanent wilting point (PWP, −1500 South African soils based on easily measurable physico-chemical properties. The PTFs were developed using stepwise multiple linear regressions with dependent variable (either FC or PWP) against clay, silt, sand...

abstract- chrysanthemum (dendranthema grandiflorum) is one of the most important ornamental plants used as cut flower, flowering pot plant and groundcover worldwide. in this research, the effects of preservative solutions containing thymol (75 and 125 mg -l), menthol (75 and 125 mg l-1) and eugenol (75 and 125 mg l-1) on the quality and vase-life of chrysanthemum cut flowers at 3±1ºc and 75-80%...

On 3 consecutive cuttings, alfalfa from a single field was mowed with a John Deere 946 mower-conditioner (4-m cut width; Moline, IL) to leave narrow swaths (NS) ranging from 1.2 to 1.52 m wide (30-37% of cutter bar width) and wide swaths (WS) ranging from 2.44 to 2.74 m wide (62-67% of cutter bar width). Samples were collected from windrows and dry matter (DM) was monitored during wilting until...
