Acid soils are abundant in tropical and subtropical regions and account for approximately 40 percent of arable land in the world. Next to oxygen and silicon, aluminum (Al) is the third most abundant element in soils and is the main toxic factor for plant growth in acidic soils. Therefore, two glasshouse studies were conducted to determine the influence of Al on root and shoot mass and nutrient ...

Recent studies show that Mortierella elongata can perform plant-growth promotion across different types of crops, including bahiagrass, corn, tomato, squash, and watermelon. Compared to the well-known species have plant-growth-promotion abilities (e.g., mycorrhizal fungi, Trichoderma), growers, agents, stakeholders are not familiar with "Mortierella" despite important role these fungal taxa pla...

Abstract Mefenpyr-diethyl is a foliar-acting safener of the pyrazoline chemical group, and after its absorption, metabolization detoxification herbicides occur in treated plants. Studies have demonstrated protective effect this for herbicide fenoxaprop-P-ethyl grass. Thus, work aimed to evaluate whether tank mixture mefenpyr-diethyl has response haloxyfop-methyl non-perennial bahiagrass. The ex...

These results support the earlier findings by Dr. Bill Kunkle and his research involving limitcreep supplements based on cottonseed meal and salt mixtures. Calf performance responses, as measured by the added gain realized by creep supplementation, are highly variable and cannot always be described by amounts of creep feed consumed. This variability has large and direct impacts on the cost effe...
