Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is a botanically indeterminate plant where flowering, fruit initiation, and pod maturity occurs over an extended time period during the growing season. As a result, the maturity and size of individual peanut pods vary considerably at harvest. Immature kernels that meet commercial edible size specifications negatively affect quality during processing due to their increa...

Incidence rates of diseases in kiwiberry orchards were investigated monthly from late June to late September in Gwangyang and Boseong in 2015 and 2016. The impact of postharvest fruit rot was investigated during ripening after harvest. Bacterial canker was only observed on one single tree in 2015, but black rot, powdery mildew, leaf spot and blight, and postharvest fruit rot diseases were probl...

In 1994, its second full production year, field-grown meristemmed 'Black Mitchum' peppermint performed differently than in 1993, when compared with a non-meristemmed treatment in a field trial at the OSU-COARC. The difference between years may be partly attributed to better meeting the fertility and soil moisture needs of meristemmed plants in 1994. Plants were not moisture-stressed near harves...

Clonal herbs that attain maximum development in late-seral forest are often assumed to have similar responses to disturbance and to be functionally equivalent. However, little is known about the demographic or physiological responses of these plants to disturbance or to the altered conditions of the post-disturbance environment. Following harvest of a mature coniferous forest, we compared abund...

In 2002 the Board of Game authorized Alaska’s first permit hunts specifically for calf moose (Alces alces). We promoted these calf hunts to help stabilize a high-density, food-stressed moose population and to compensate for declining harvests of bulls. Low harvest rates of cows (= 1% of the prehunt cow population, 1996–2001) were tightly controlled by the public. High harvest rates of bulls (21...

in order to study the sensitivity of vegetative growth to water deficit stress of a late-maturing peach (prunus persica l. cv. elberta) under orchard conditions, an experiment was conducted as randomized complete-block design with three treatments and four repetitions in shahdiran commercial orchard in mashhad during 2011. three irrigation treatments including 360 (low stress), 180 (moderate st...

OBJECTIVE This study aims to present the graft pathology at the time of harvest and its impact on long-term survival. METHODS The remnants of the bypass grafts from 66 consecutive patients with coronary artery disease receiving a coronary artery bypass grafting were investigated pathologically, and pertinent predictive risk factors and survival were analyzed. RESULTS Medial degenerative cha...

In Europe, the perennial C4 grass miscanthus is currently mainly cultivated for energy generation via combustion. In recent years, anaerobic digestion has been identified as a promising alternative utilization pathway. Anaerobic digestion produces a higher-value intermediate (biogas), which can be upgraded to biomethane, stored in the existing natural gas infrastructure and further utilized as ...

The effects of three harvesting dates; 120 150 and 180 days after planting (DAP) and four potassium fertilizer levels; 0, 48, 72 and 96 Kg K2O fed -1 , on vegetative growth characteristics, tuber yield potential and quality of Jerusalem artichoke (cv. Balady) were studied. Two field experiments were conducted during the two successive summer seasons of 2001 and 2002 at the Experimental station ...

in order to evaluate of yield and yield components of chickpea genotypes, path analysis set to facilitate the selection of high yielding varieties in limited irrigation. research was canducted in 2010-2011 growing season at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, by using seven drought tolerante genotypes (recommended from a previous research) in a randomized complete...
