BACKGROUND AND AIMS The aim of this study was to determine the role of nitrogen- and storage-affected carbohydrate availability in rooting of pelargonium cuttings, focusing on the environmental conditions of stock plant cultivation at low latitudes, transport of cuttings, and rooting under the low light that prevails during the winter rooting period in Central European greenhouses. METHODS Ca...

We examined effects of mist quantity, topophysis (origin of cutting in the crown of 6-year-old trees), maturation state of the donor stock, and time of sticking on rooting and root system quality of cuttings representing five full-sib hybrid larch families obtained with Larix decidua Mill., L. laricina (du Roi) K. Koch, and L. kaempferi (Lamb.) Sarg. (Sieb. and Zucc.) Gord., as parents. Mist fr...

Traditional methods for the disposal of Oil-Based Mud (OBM) drill cuttings have included pit burial or leaving the untreated cuttings scattered in-situ. Increasingly stringent regulations and increased environmental awareness have required new and improved disposal techniques. Scomi Equipment Inc, with over twenty one years Drilling Waste Management experience, has developed a system to remedia...

Experiments with ethylene-insensitive tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) and petunia (Petunia x hybrida) plants were conducted to determine if normal or adventitious root formation is affected by ethylene insensitivity. Ethylene-insensitive Never ripe (NR) tomato plants produced more below-ground root mass but fewer above-ground adventitious roots than wild-type Pearson plants. Applied auxin (ind...

Background: Salibu rice cultivation is one of the technologies that have been developed in Indonesia but not continued. This technology has great potential to increase land productivity. The unsustainability salibu due lower yield than parent rice. Not many farmers are aware agronomic factors can growth and Objective: review article aims explore role cultivation. Results: shows play a major soi...

In four experiments the major effect on ̄owering was that of temperature. Temperatures applied between 2 October and 20 February in ̄uenced the time of ̄owering of D. allwoodii, `Doris', while in D. alpinus, `Pike's Pink', temperatures applied over a longer period between 2 October and 11 March in ̄uenced the time of ̄owering. Keeping stock plants at low temperatures, before cuttings were taken, ...

Baseline characterization of concentrations and isotopic values of dissolved natural gases is needed to identify contamination caused by the leakage of fugitive gases from oil and gas activities. Methods to collect and analyze baseline concentration-depth profiles of dissolved CH4 and C2 H6 and δ13 C-CH4 in shales and Quaternary clayey tills were assessed at two sites in the Williston Basin, Ca...

The potential of slow phase chlorophyll fluorescence (CF) to predict the physiological status of Pelargonium propagules (seven varieties in 28 different batches) post shipment or post simulated shipment was evaluated. The rooting ability of the cuttings was recorded and used to confirm the results from the CF data. The use of cardboard versus polystyrene packaging and the inclusion of two treat...

The octcoral Sarcophyton glaucum has a wide IndoPaci¢c distribution and is known for its diverse content of natural products.The aimof the current study was to establish a protocol for rearing miniature cuttings of S. glaucum in a closed seawater system. In order to determine the optimal conditions for rearing, the survival, average dry weight, percentage of organic weight and development of th...

Abstract This study presents the preliminary results of physicochemical characteristics soil taken from slope bio-engineering study. The would be used as a medium for growth selected shrub species namely Strobilanthes crispa (SC), Pseuderanthemum carruthers (PC) , Tabernaemontana divaricata (TD), and Hibiscus rosa-Sinensis (HR). Soil was prepared in 3:2:1 ratio (soil: organic fertilizer: sand)....
