effects of nitrogen fertilization timing close to the beginning of short-day period and white mulch on flowering and yield components have been studied in ‘paros’ and ‘queen elisa’ strawberry cultivars. split plot experiment in a randomized complete block design with eight treatments (two mulch treatments × n fertilization during four different times from last week of august to third week of se...

Spring wheat yields across the Canadian prairies are rising, however, a yield gap remains between average and potential which can be explored further under Prairie conditions. The high rates of nitrogen (N) fertilizer required for current high-yielding cultivars may increase lodging risk adding to this gap. objectives study were determine influence intensive management through N fertilization p...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) variety mixtures represent a relatively unexplored avenue for maintaining yield and improving flour quality. A field experiment was conducted to examine the responses of three spring wheat varieties in pure variety and in variety mixtures under continuous cropping in Northeast China. Three modern spring wheat varieties, along with a three-variety mixture and a t...

The assembly and installation of the vacuum system of SACLA, XFEL in SPring-8 was done. The average pressure with beam achieved without bake out was 9.3×10 Pa. The flanges of C-band and S-band developed for XFEL hardly cause leak even when the damage on the seal edge was found. Magnetic shielding for components was also carried out.

The DØ detector at The Fermilab Tevatron is undergoing a major upgrade to prepare for data taking with luminosities reaching 2× 10 cm s. The upgrade includes a new central tracking array, new muon detector components and electronic upgrades to many subsystems. The DØ upgraded detector will be operational for RUN II in spring 2000.

Lettuce is a worldwide grown leafy vegetable rich in phytochemicals which are essential human diet. The aim of this study was to examine the effect genotype, microbiological fertilisers and season on rosette fresh weight components antioxidant activity. Six cultivars (green ‘Kiribati’, ‘Aleppo’, ‘Aquino’ red ‘Murai’, ‘Carmesi’, ‘Gaugin’) were greenhouse experiment during three consecutive seaso...
