Zu§kin, E., and Valic, F. (1973). British Journal of Industrial Medicine, 30, 375-380. Respiratory response in simultaneous exposure to flax and hemp dust. The effect of exposure to high concentrations of mixtures of hemp and flax dust was studied in 124 workers in two textiie mills (mill A: 65-70% hemp and the rest flax, mean dust concentration 13 9 mg/m3; and mill B: about 35% hemp and the re...

Effect of cover crops intercropped with pineapple (Ananas comosus) on Rotylenchulus reniformis population densities and activity of nematode-trapping fungi (NTF) were evaluated in two cycles of cover crop and pineapple. Sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea), rapeseed (Brassica napus), African marigold (Tagetes erecta), or weeds were intercropped with pineapples. Beds planted with sunn hemp or rapeseed ...

in this research work, the effects of natural fibers such as date palm fiber (df) and jute fiber (jf) on bending properties of polypropylene (pp)/ ethylene–propylene–diene–monomer (epdm) thermoplastic elastomers are investigated. for this purpose, the date palm and jute fibers at five levels of fiber weight fractions (0, 5, 10, 20 and 30 wt. %) are utilized during composite fabrication. maleic ...

the winter, chemically terminated in the spring, and then corn is planted into the surface residue. Corn is typically The benefits of winter legumes as cover crops for corn (Zea mays planted early in the growing season, which forces an L.) are diminished by the earliness of corn planting in relation to early termination date. A termination date at least 14 d biomass and N production by the legu...

BACKGROUND The use of energy crops and agricultural residues is expected to increase to fulfil the legislative demands of bio-based components in transport fuels. Ensiling methods, adapted from the feed sector, are suitable storage methods to preserve fresh crops throughout the year for, for example, biogas production. Various preservation methods, namely ensiling with and without acid addition...
