Greenhouse and field experiments were conducted to determine the influence of transplant age on growth and yield of ‘Dixie’ and ‘Senator’ summer squash (Cucurbita pepo L.). Dry weight and leaf area measurements indicated that 28to 35-day-old greenhouse-grown transplants grew more slowly after transplanting than plants that were 10,14, or 21 days old. Older transplants flowered earlier; however,...

Intercropping fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) with naturally colored cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) may provide a beneficial socioeconomic, ecological and environmental alternative for recuperating agribusiness in fennel and cotton cultivations in northeast Brazil because these crops do not compete for nutrients. The objectives of this study were to investigate the vertical and horizontal dis...

to determine effects of phenyl-phethalamate acid on yield and yield components of tomato, cucumber, eggplant and cabbage, this experiment was investigated in a randomized complete block design with three replications in the spring and summer of 2010. treatments included the time and number of foliar spraying with phenyl-phethalamate acid (1000 ppm). control plants were not sprayed. the first st...

objective: pulmonary air-leakage especially pneumothorax (ptx), is a severe complication in neonates. the aim of this study was to assess the predisposing factors and frequency of ptx among the low birth weight (lbw) premature infants, under mechanical ventilation. methods: this cross sectional study was performed in 121 lbw intubated premature infants at neonatal intensive care unit of a child...

The intercropping is a production system that aims to provide increased yield with less environmental impact, due to greater efficiency in the use of natural resources and inputs involved in the production process. An experiment was carried out to evaluate the agronomic viability of kale and New Zealand spinach intercropping as a function of the spinach transplanting time. (0, 14, 28, 42, 56, 7...
