Less is more when it comes to eating healthy and the same can be said of alternating current (AC) voltage inside industrial plants. By using active voltage regulation which incorporates voltage monitoring at the load, an industrial facility can save energy and better protect their equipment and systems. In the early spring of 2007, Plum Creek Timber Company (Plum Creek), Flathead Electric Coope...

The effects of Pratylenchus vulnus on growth and nutrition of Cadaman peach and Ishtara and Julior plum rootstocks were evaluated in a microplot experiment lasting two growing seasons. Cadaman peach was the only rootstock that showed suppressed growth for all growth parameters at the end of the first year. At the end of the second growing season, dry and fresh shoot weights as well as shoot len...

Plant-derived polyphenols have been shown to influence bone turnover and bone properties in the estrogen-depleted state. We used a crossover design in ovariectomized rats (n = 16 rats for each diet) to investigate the effect of supplementation of two doses each of blueberry, plum, grape, grape seed extract, and resveratrol on bone. We tested the aglycon and glucoside forms of genistein to quant...

Fresh ground beef patties with (1) no antioxidant (control), (2) 0.02% butylated hydroxyanisole/butylated hydroxytoluene (BHA/BHT), (3) 3% dried plum puree, or (4) 0.25% rosemary extract were aerobically packaged, irradiated at target doses of 0, 1.5, or 2.0 kGy (1.7 and 2.3 kGy actual doses), and stored at 4°C. The samples were evaluated for lipid oxidation on 0, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days of s...

The susceptibility of peach GF 305 seedlings and herbaceous plants to five plum pox virus (PPV) isolates from orchards of western Slovakia was investigated. PPV was isolated from diseased plum, apricot and peach trees, and transmitted by chip-budding to peach GF 305. The herbaceous plants were infected by mechanical inoculation. The transmission was analysed by symptomatology and double sandwic...

Abstract Three sawfly species ( Hoplocampa minuta, flava, fulviicornis ) have been monitored in plum orchards during the flowering period three consecutive years at different locations Hungary using chromotropic white sticky traps. Black and yellow sawflies H. minuta flava are one of most important pests orchards, however plum-fruit fulvicornis has not yet documented from Hungary. In almost all...

Introduction Sharka or plum pox disease is considered one of the most devastating diseases of stone fruits in terms of agricultural impact and economic importance (Dunez and Sutic, 1988; Nemeth, 1994). The disease is detrimental to apricot, peach and plum trees as it results in reduced quality and premature dropping of fruits. The causal agent is plum pox virus (PPV), a member of the Potyvirus ...

In the 1996 Winter issue of Fruit Notes, we reported results of our 1995 research on plum curculio responses to unbaited “Tedders” traps. These traps are pyramidal in shape, dark in color, and are placed on the ground. They capture curculios that arrive on the trap surface and subsequently crawl upward to the tip, where they enter an inverted screen funnel (a cotton boll weevil trap top) placed...

The impact of electronic dipole tags on the walking activity of three insects was determined using video tracking software. Results varied within and between the three species studied. The heaviest tag mounted on the pronotum of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), reduced its mean horizontal speed slightly but significantly. The mean horizontal speed of plum curculio, C...
