Potato late blight is one the most important crop diseases worldwide. Even though potato has been studied for many years, the potato disease late blight still has a vast negative effect on the potato production [1], [2], [3]. Late blight is caused by the pathogen Phytophthora infestans (P. infestans), which initiates infection through leaves. However, the biological activities during different ...

The article considers a dispenser-distributor with soil-transporting elements, substantiates and determines its technological design parameters. As result of the theoretical studies carried out, analytical dependences were obtained to determine diameter disk soil dispenser-distributor, height element volume required cover potato tubers. results work in field theory calculation planters are syst...

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of three different fillers i.e. rice flour, tapioca starch and potato starch, on the physico-chemical and sensory attributes of chicken meat caruncles, so as to find the best filler for chicken snacks. Four different batches were prepared as follows control (35% refined wheat flour), T-1 (22.75% refined wheat flour + 12.25% rice flour), T...

To recognize underwater target precisely is always a hot potato to navies due to the complicated watery environment. It’s different from the aerial circumstance. There is much more interfere under the sea. Sonar is the most efficient way to detect underwater world at present time. In this paper, a geneticbased classifier system is designed which recognizes targets by sonar fingerprints. This me...

In recent years, Potato Virus Y has reemerged as a serious disease problem in many potato production areas in the northern United States and eastern Canada. Three recently introduced cultivars, ‘Russet Norkotah’, ‘Shepody’, and ‘Silverton’ are widely grown and express mild or no symptoms when infected with PVY. The lack of symptoms often associated with these cultivars and novel, recombinant st...

We probabilistically model dynamic routing on un-buuered 2-dimensional tori. We consider shortest-path routing with packet loss and retransmissions versus a newly proposed all-link busy (ALB) hot-potato routing strategy with packet deeections. Computations of the sustained packet generating rate, node through-put, and average packet latency indicate that the proposed ALB strategy is a much bett...

EEcient data transfer between processors is an essential component in any large scale parallel computation. Motivated by the growing interest in parallel computers, a signiicant amount of theoretical research has been devoted to the area of interconnection networks for parallel computers , most of it to the packet routing (or store-and-forward) model of communication. We survey some of the majo...

Rotated and non-rotated commercial potato fields were sampled intensively to follow Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), colonization and subsequent oviposition patterns in the spring of 1990 and 1991. Maximum densities of colonizing adults ranged from 0 to 14,891/ha and maximum egg mass densities ranged from 0 to 48,451/ha. Crop rotation generall...

The potato-cyst nematodes Heterodera rostochiensis and H. pallida are important pathogens of potatoes, a basic food crop. When soil populations of either species are high, potato yields are often less than the seed planted. Apparently, these nematodes originated in the Andean mountains of South America, the home of the potato. One or both species have spread from this region to approximately 47...
