A literature study was undertaken on the weeding of maize on smallholder farms in Ciskei, South Africa. Most weeding under these conditions is carried out by hand pulling or hand hoeing. Only limited use is made of animal traction, and large-scale development of this method will not be possible until the conventional broadcast method of planting maize has been replaced by row planting.

BACKGROUND Ischemic preconditioning (PC) represents a state-of-the-art technique for myocardial preservation. Although certain intracellular mediators have been shown to play a role in PC, the exact nature of the trigger for PC is not known. Our previous study demonstrated that intracellular bradykinin released from the heart during ischemia/reperfusion plays a role in myocardial preservation. ...

the aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of apical negative pressure (anp), manual dynamic agitation (mda), passive ultrasonic irrigation (pui) and needle irrigation (ni) as final irrigation activation techniques for smear layer removal in curved root canals.mesiobuccal root canals of 80 freshly extracted maxillary first molars with curvatures ranging between 25° and 35° were used. a gl...

Field experiment was conducted at Crops Research unit, ICAR- Central Island Institute, Bloomsdale, Port Blair during summer season, 2018. To study the preceding rice herbicide residual effect in control of weeds, growth and yield urdbean rice-bhendi-urdbean sequence under high rainfall area. At 20 DAS, grassy weeds (48.00 weeds/m2) were predominant species followed by sedges broad leaf 29.67 22...

recording nursing reports is considered as a quality assurance tool for patients and nurses. nowadays, the presence of electronic health record systems is an indicator of development. studies on advantages and disadvantages of the electronic and manual recording methods have shown different results. in this study, electronic and manual recording of nursing reports were compared from the perspec...

Conventional seedbed preparation is based on deep ploughing followed by lighter and finer secondary tillage of the superficial layer, normally performed machines powered tractor’s Power Take-Off (PTO), which prepares in a single pass. Conservation methods are wide range interventions, such as minimum or no-tillage, means with passive action working tools require two more passes The aim this stu...

this experiment was conducted for three consecutive years from 2000 to 2002 to evaluate the effects of integrated weed management on weeds of alfalfa at the safi abad agricultural research farm of dezful. the experimental design was a randomized complete block with strip-split plot arrangement of treatments. herbicide treatment was as horizontal factor at five levels which in 2000, consisted of...
