This article investigated public preferences for forest biomass based liquid biofuels, particularly ethanol blends of 10% (E10) and 85% (E85). We conducted a choice experiment study in three southern states in the United States: Arkansas, Florida, and Virginia. Reducing atmospheric CO(2), decreasing risk of wildfires and pest outbreaks, and enhancing biodiversity were presented to respondents a...

While mixed-species cover crops are gaining worldwide popularity, their utility in the ‘plough-out’ period tropical sugar cane systems has not been investigated. Field trials investigating weed suppression (one season only), biomass production and nitrogen accumulation of single-species were conducted over two seasons on a commercial sugarcane farm Australian tropics. Mixed-species showed stron...

Wheat is nowadays the most important source of food on earth. Many pest species have been identified that affecting wheat yield and quality negatively. This study was carried out to identify harmful beneficial insect (predator) distribution Sunn in cultivation areas districts (Siirt province Merkez, Kurtalan, Eruh, Tillo, Şirvan, Pervari Baykan) Siirt Province, Turkey 2018 2019. Samplings were ...

Legumes match the nodule number to the N demand of the plant. When a mutation in the regulatory mechanism deprives the plant of that ability, an excessive number of nodules are formed. These mutants show low productivity in the fields, mainly due to the high carbon burden caused through the necessity to supply numerous nodules. The objective of this study was to clarify whether through optimal ...

ABSTRACT Sunn hemp (Crotalaria spectabilis) is widely used for soil correction and cover, but it still necessary to know the characteristics that influence storage of its seeds. This study aimed evaluate physiological quality sunn seeds under uncontrolled environmental conditions in acclimatization chamber. A completely randomized experimental design was used, with four replicates, subplots eva...

The CLAVATA3/embryo-surrounding region (CLE) peptides control the fine balance between proliferation and differentiation in plant development. We studied the role of CLE peptides during indeterminate nodule development and identified 25 MtCLE peptide genes in the Medicago truncatula genome, of which two genes, MtCLE12 and MtCLE13, had nodulation-related expression patterns that were linked to p...

trissolcus grandis (thomson) (hymenoptera: scelionidae) is the most important egg parasitoid of the common sunn pest, eurygaster integriceps puton (hemiptera: scutelleridae) in iran. demographic characteristics may be used for preliminary screening of parasitoid species or populations as well as for predicting their efficiency under different physical conditions in the field. in this study, the...

The aims of the present study were to compare hydrodynamics of three pericardial and two porcine valves while performing at different stroke volume (SV) and increasing pulse rate (PR). Carpentier-Edwards Magna-21 (CEM), Sorin Soprano-20 (SS), Mitroflow-23 (MF), SJM-Biocor-Epic-Supra-21 (SJME), and Medtronic Mosaic Ultra-23 (MMU) were tested in the aortic chamber (23-mm in diameter) of the Sheff...
