Eucalypts is one of the main species used for commercial reforestation in the Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. This study aimed to evaluate the survival and early growth of eucalyptus trees in an area subject to sandy process after three years of growth. The Eucalyptus grandis seedlings were grown in a greenhouse, inoculated or not with the isolated ectomycorrhizal Pisolithus microcarpus (UFSC-...

the zinnia (zinnia elegans j.) flower has many applications in landscape design, whereas lack of adequate conditions and nutritions in some cases can reduce the quality and number of flowers. therefore, control of growth conditions is very important related to nutrition and application of growth regulators to improve the quality and quantity of flowers. flower's morphology and longevity are two...

application of salicylic acid (sa) as a phytohormone has been increased due to resistance to stresses such as drought. the main goal of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of sa on morphological and physiological characteristics of cucumber seedlings under drought stress. for this purpose a factorial trial based on completely randomized design was conducted with 5 levels of sa (0 (contr...

The clinical, angiographic, exercise testing, operative, and follow-up data of 26 patients found at angiography to have left main stem coronary artery stenosis, defined as a reduction in the lumen diameter of 50% or more, are reviewed. There was a high incidence of significant proximal stenosis in the branches of the left main stem. No clinical features were found to distinguish patients with l...

In order to investigate the effect of humic acid (HA) and nano-calcium chelate on the cut flowers of gerbera cv. Dune, an experiment was performed as a completely randomized design with two factors and three replications in hydroponic conditions. The first factor included humic acid at 4 concentrations of 0 (control), 500, 1000, and 2000 mg L-1 as drench and the second factor was ass...

The relationship between phenology and tree stem diameter increment is largely unexplored in tropical species, especially in wet tropical forests. To explore links between these phenomena, we measured stem diameter increment and phenology of ten canopy tree species from a range of functional types in the Atlantic lowlands of Costa Rica to test for seasonal and interannual patterns. We measured ...
