The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of abscisic acid (ABA) and chlorocholine chloride (CCC) on growth, nodulation and changes in endogenous level of plant hormones indole acetic acid (IAA) and Gibberellic acid (GA) of mung bean grown under normal or water stress conditions. Two varieties (cv.NM 98 and cv.HCM 209) of mung bean were soaked in 10 M ABA or in chlorocholine chlo...

________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract The distribution of chlorocholine chloride (CCC) residue or its metabolites in the meat and eggs of laying hens was studied using the N delta value (δN) and N atom % derived from N-CCC containing diets. In a completely randomised design, 20 laying hens were divided into four groups allocated four different...

During greenhouse production in Spring 1995, conditioning treatments were applied to columbine (Aquilegia ×hybrida Sims ‘McKana Giants’), New Guinea impatiens (Impatiens hawkeri Bull. ‘Antares’), marigold (Tagetes erecta L. ‘Little Devil Mix’) and ageratum (Ageratum houstonianum Mill. ‘Blue Puffs’) plants. Treatments included: mechanical conditioning (brushing 40 strokes twice daily); moisture ...

High density planting systems are a prerequisite to economise the use of land and labour costs of orchards. Dwarfing rootstocks controlling the vigour of the scion cultivars form the basis for such orchards (Wertheim and Webster, 2005). In the Netherlands, rootstock research is limited to and focussed on testing rootstocks selected abroad. For the Dutch pear growers the main selection criteria ...
