Agronomic research suggests Australian farmers may increase wheat yields by 13 to 47% and reduce risk of crop failures by sowing crops earlier than is currently practiced. This study investigated the potential to use remote sensing to assist in evaluating changes in farmer sowing date practices in response to research recommendations, using study paddocks in the southern Australian cropping reg...

This study investigates the hypothesis that tomtits are significantly less susceptible to 1080 poison operations when cereal rather than carrot bait applications are used, both at relatively low sowing rates. We made counts of territorial male tomtits along transects during standard 1080 possum control operations in 2001 to 2003. The transects had 3–5 kg ha sowing rates of either carrot or cere...

Studies on the function of root traits and the genetic variation in these traits are often conducted under controlled conditions using individual potted plants. Little is known about root growth under field conditions and how root traits are affected by agronomic practices in particular sowing density. We hypothesized that with increasing sowing density, root length density (root length per soi...

-An analysis of occupational incidence data for malignant melanomas and squamous-and basal-cell carcinomas of the skin in England and Wales from 1970 to 1975 is reported. The occupational pattern for melanomas of the trunk and limbs differed markedly from the pattern for melanomas of the head, face and neck. Office work was associated with a large excess of melanomas of the trunk and limbs. In ...

In order to evaluation of influence of sulphur fertilizer on grain yield and the some of physiological indices of canola, an split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design was conducted in Research Farm Islamic Azad University, Ardabil branch in 2007. Factors were: sulfur fertilizer at four levels (0 as control, 25, 50 and 75 kg S/ha) in the main plots and canola cultivars at t...

Weekly returns from the Royal College of General Practitioners research unit indicate that the attack rates for acute asthmatic episodes show a summer peak followed by an autumn peak in five out of the eight years studied, a summer peak alone in one year, and no discernible peak in two years. The autumn peaks coincide precisely with the rise in acute bronchitis attack rates, suggesting that aut...

Large-scale community-based content management requires “good” domain abstractions and, therefore, a serious investment into application ontology. In an interdisciplinary project with our Art History colleagues who are working in the subject domain of “Political Iconography” we are gaining substantial insight into their subject-oriented working (SOWing) modes and into initial requirements for a...

weather and climatic parameters and their impact on farming plants are one of the foremost effective factors on improvement of crop yield. the potential facilities of various regions may be determined with agroclimatic study and exploit maximally from these facilities. in order to evaluate agroclimate of colza cultivation throughout the selected substations at hamedan province in this current i...
