The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the foliar application of zinc (15, 30 and 50 mg/L) and iron (50 and 100 mg/L) and their combination on vegetative, reproductive growth, fruit quality and yield of cucumber plants as a factorial in completely randomized block design with four replications. Results indicated that different applied treatments significantly increased vegetative ...

This study explores the connections between vegetation cover change, environmental stewardship, and building footprint change in New York City neighborhoods from the years 2000 to 2010. We use a mixed-methods multidisciplinary approach to analyze spatially explicit social and ecological data. Most neighborhoods lost vegetation during the study period. Neighborhoods that gained vegetation tended...

We introduce the use of remote sensing analysis in providing new insight in characterizing green turtle nesting habitat. A maximum likelihood classification (MLC) and a multiple endmember spectral mixture analysis (MESMA) were conducted on a Landsat image that contained six nesting beaches in Turkey that represent varying degrees of importance. Both techniques highlighted similarities of the ve...

It is one of the fundamental problems of the researches on schizophrenia to find out those elements of the brain, which by deterioration cause the symptoms of schizophrenia . Some clinical experts, who, by studying vegetative phenomenons have got their concept of the nature of schizophrenia, think, that the central vegetative regions play a special and important part in causing schizophrenia . ...

The potential for directional optical and thermal imagery is very large. Field measurements have been performed with a goniometer on which thermal instruments were attached. In order to reduce dynamical effects the goniometer was adjusted to run in automated mode, for zenith and azimuthal direction. Directional measurements were performed over various crops with increasing heterogeneity. The im...

Twenty five Sri Lankan modern rice cultivars were screened for submergence tolerance at seedling and vegetative stages. An experiment was carried out at the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Ruhuna, Mapalana, Kamburupitiya, Sri Lanka during May to September, 2011 according to the randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 4 replicates and each replicate contained 20 plants to evaluate sub...

PALAVRAS-CHAVE Irrigação Distribuição Gama Uso da água ABSTRACT: The occurrence, distribution of rainfall and the knowledge of crop water demand are essentials to irrigation planning. Thus, the determination of probable rainfall can contribute substantially to suitable irrigation projects. This work aimed to determine the probable rainfall for Uberlândia, Minas Gerais state, Brazil, in order to...

Some introduced clonal plants spread mainly by vegetative (clonal) propagules due to the absence of sexual reproduction in the introduced range. Propagule pressure (i.e. total number of propagules) may affect the establishment and thus invasion success of introduced clonal plants, and such effects may also depend on habitat conditions. A greenhouse experiment with an introduced plant, Hydrocoty...

The objective of this study was to assess the importance of stay-green on grain yield under heat and combined heat and drought stress and to identify the associated vegetative indices allowing higher throughput in order to facilitate the identification of climate resilient germplasm. Hybrids of tropical and subtropical adaptation were evaluated under heat and combined heat and drought stress in...
