Through a joint SASEX/CIRAD, project the effect of Eldana saccharina Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) damage on stalk yield components was studied in fields at the SASEX farms at Gingindlovu and Empangeni. The formal experiment design consisted of randomised plots to compare natural infestation, artificial infestation and chemical treatments. Damaged stalks from infested plots had lower sucrose,...

a trial study was set to assess the influence of the plant residue management in conjuction with application of different nitrogen sources on accumulation and translocation of wheat stem reserves, at the agricultural faculty of shahid chamran university of ahvaz during 2011-2012. the experimental design was split plot at randomized completed block design arrangement. the main plot were differen...

In this study, the cutting force and energy requirement of corn (Zea mays L.) stalk at different internodes (diameter), from bottom to top internode positions for Pionner 2105, Pioner 1570, KWS MAY 75 varieties, were determined. The mean diameter varied between 11.28-19.00 mm bottom. Also, cob breakout requirements determined these varieties. According test results, varieties found statisticall...

Among the community, bamboo is well known for its excellent utilization, starting from sturdy, resilient, straight stems, which are easy to split, work with, and shape. In addition, price of cheaper easily found in residential areas. One bamboo-producing areas West Nusa Tenggara region Aik Bual Village HKm. It that research related physical properties has not been carried out area. Physical bec...

The aerial part distribution and arrangement can significantly affect the forage resource’s use, both for leaves seeds harvesting. This work aimed to verify structure derived from different times of pasture use subsequent production in a long-cycle ryegrass cultivar. Weekly assessments number length living leaves, elongation internodes, tillering, plants’ height, structural components (leaf, st...

Action potential timing is fundamental to information processing; however, its determinants are not fully understood. Here we report unexpected structural specializations in the Ranvier nodes and internodes of auditory brainstem axons involved in sound localization. Myelination properties deviated significantly from the traditionally assumed structure. Axons responding best to low-frequency sou...

Bamboo culm is in the form of a tube/pipe, composed internodes which are bounded by partition/diaphragm (node). Anatomically, bamboo vascular bundles and parenchyma ground tissue. One constituents fibers that grouped to fiber sheath. The anatomical structure nodes thought influence strength strips, including tensile strength. This study aimed determine characteristics (distribution percentage) ...

In clonal plants, evolution of plastic foraging by increased lengths of leaves and internodes under unfavourable conditions may be constrained by costs and limits of plasticity. We studied costs and limits of plasticity in foraging characteristics in 102 genotypes of the stoloniferous herb Ranunculus reptans. We grew three replicates of each genotype with and three without competition by the na...
