Thermotolerance of photosynthesis and productivity in Chandler and Sweet Charlie strawberry plants (Fragaria ·ananassa Duch.) exposed to three temperature regimes was studied. Net CO2 assimilation rate (A), variable chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv), efficiency of photosystem II (Fv/Fm), relative chlorophyll content, plant growth, and fruit yield and quality weremeasured. High temperature (40 C day...

the objective of the present study is to investigate the impact of spraying boric acid on vegetative and reproductive growth of ‘camarosa’ strawberry (fragaria × ananassa duch.). the strawberry plants were sprayed with boric acid at 0 (control), 50 and 100 mg l-1 at 30 days after planting. in general, results indicated that spraying plants with boric acid had a significant effect on yield, frui...

Sustainable management of crop productivity and health necessitates improved understanding of the ways in which rhizosphere microbial populations interact with each other, with plant roots and their abiotic environment. In this study we examined the effects of different soils and cultivars, and the presence of a soil-borne fungal pathogen, Verticillium dahliae, on the fungal microbiome of the r...

In this article, we have demostrated the application of two newly proposed estimators which accounts for lack of overlap under propensity score matching on a case study involing the analysis of health expenditure data for the United States.
