A comparison of the product yield, total phenolics, total flavonoids, and antioxidant properties was done in different leafy vegetables/herbs (basil, chard, parsley, and red kale) and fruit crops (bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and squash) grown in aeroponic growing systems (AG) and in the field (FG). An average increase of about 19%, 8%, 65%, 21%, 53%, 35%, 7%, and 50% in the yield wa...

The first 40 yr of forest succession on permanent plots at the Harvard Forest in central New England followed the initial floristic composition model of forest succession. After the 1938 hurricane removed the previous white pine (Pinus strobus) canopy, species regenerated within 4-6 yr by sprouts, buried seed, and wind-blown seed, with no method of regeneration uniformly contributing more to sp...

The eastern cherry fruit ßy, Rhagoletis cingulata (Loew), and black cherry fruit ßy, R. fausta (Osten Sacken), are the most important insect pests of cherries Prunus spp. in the eastern and midwestern United States. In 1998, we studied the responses of cherry fruit ßy species using the recommended V-shaped Pherocon AM board. SigniÞcantly more R. cingulata ßies were caught on boards with aqueous...
