The phytotoxic potential of plants and the effect their active components on another plant species is being explored as a alternative to synthetic herbicides for weed control. In current study, we investigated leaves Dregea volubilis (L.f.) Benth. ex Hook.f. against four test [timothy (Phleum pratense L.), barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv), lettuce (Lactuca sativa alfalfa (M...

Thousands of hectares of timothy (Phleum pretense L.) grown in the Mid-Atlantic region are infected by cereal rust mite (Abacarus hysterix) that causes discoloration and curling of leaves, decreased nutritional quality, and substantial decreases in yield. A decline in production of timothy hay can lower income for hay producers and cause horse owners to search for alternative hays. Low alkaloid...

Detailed physisorption data from experiment for the H(2) molecule on low-index Cu surfaces challenge theory. Recently, density functional theory (DFT) has been developed to account for nonlocal correlation effects, including van der Waals (dispersion) forces. We show that the functional vdW-DF2 gives a potential-energy curve, potential-well energy levels and difference in lateral corrugation pr...

This work aims to study the influence of legume-cereal grasses in inter-row spacings garden on content nutrients soil and growth apple tree roots. The amount nitrate nitrogen was direct proportion ratio legume component phytocenosis. control option smallest: 19.7 mg/kg layer 0-30 cm 13.4 30-60 cm. In case natural grassing-down between rows, cereal forbs prevailed. largest achieved when sowing r...
