Abrasive weeding is a nonchemical weed control tactic that uses small, gritty materials propelled with compressed air to destroy seedlings. Organic fertilizers have been used successfully as abrasive grits weeds, but the goal for this study was explore effects of fertilizer grit, application rates, and background soil fertility on plant available nitrogen (N) uptake, crop yield. Field trials we...

In this paper we propose that a sentence like ‘JohnT ate broccoliF ’ should pragmatically be interpreted as follows: (a) Focus should be interpreted exhaustively; John ate only broccoli; (b) Topic must be interpreted exhaustively: Only John ate (only) broccoli; and (c) The speaker takes it to be possible (or even knows, if he is competent) that at least one alternative of the form ‘x ate y’ not...

We introduce the task of visualizing distributed semantic representations by generating images from word vectors. Given the corpus-based vector encoding the word broccoli, we convert it to a visual representation by means of a cross-modal mapping function, and then use the mapped representation to generate an image of broccoli as “dreamed” by the distributed model. We propose a baseline dream s...

This study aimed to determine the effect of BAP on growth hybrid broccoli and synthesis sulforaphane content grown MS media. Observations were made for 2 weeks, namely first day after planting until 14th planting. used a completely randomized design with 4 treatments was repeated 9 times. The results showed that had germinated. It found highest Broccoli sprout height in treatment without (Contr...

in this study, effect of exogenous putrescine on maintaining postharvest quality and antioxidant compounds of two broccoli cultivars, ‘general’ and ‘liberty’ during cool storage were investigated. broccoli branchlets were treated with 0.5, 1 and 1.5 mm putrescine. distilled water was used as control. treated florets were put into polyethylene bag and transferred to storage with 0°c and 90% rh. ...

Recent findings show that approximately 87% of the U.S. population fail to meet the vegetable intake recommendations, with unpleasant taste of vegetables being listed as the primary reason for this shortfall. In this study, spice and herb seasoning was used to enhance palatability of vegetables, in order to increase consumer acceptance. In total, 749 panelists were screened and recruited as spe...

The aim of this study was to assess the food nutritional profiles potato chips, chicken nuggets, and broccoli their palatability after deep-frying with different oils. trials consisted 4 cycles at 180°C for minutes using extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), canola, grapeseed Samples oils were taken untreated treatments sensorial chemical analysis. EVOO canola deep-fried preferred by colour, but fried...

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from uninfested and infested broccoli plant samples with green peach aphid Myzus persicae were investigated by headspace solid microextraction (HS-SPME) combined gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Overall, 25 identified in plants. The HS-SPME GC-MS analysis of the volatiles described differences between samples. Based on peak area analysis, VOCs sign...
