In four tests conducted in loamy-sand soils in northern Florida, cotton lint yield increased and post-harvest soil populations of Meloidogyne incognita were more effectively suppressed by 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) than aldicarb when both nematicides were evaluated over a range of recommended rates. Significant positive relationships existed between lint yield and rates of 1,3-D in three tests...

To investigate photosynthetic characteristics of the subtending leaf at the 2-3rd and 10-11th fruiting branch (FBN, FB2-3, and FB10-11), and their relationship with cotton yield and quality, field experiments were conducted using two cotton cultivars, Kemian 1 and Sumian 15. The results showed that with FBN increasing, chlorophyll (Chl) components, Pn and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) in th...

Synopsis: This paper provides a framework of lower bounds on the minimum distance of cyclic codes. Root bounds depends solely on the den-ing set and the length of a cyclic code, and the BCH Bound, the Hartmann-Tzeng Bound, Bound A and several Boston Bounds are sown to belong to this family. Border bounds furthermore depends on the dening set of cyclic subcodes as well. The Schaub Bound, the Sin...

The central objective of this dissertation was to present the Goppa Geometry Codes via elementary methods which were introduced by J.H. van Lint, R.Pellikaan and T. Høhold about 1998. On the first part of such dissertation are presented the fundamental concepts about fields of rational functions of an algebraic curve in the direction as to define the Goppa Codes on a classical manner. In this s...

The reproductive and damage potential of the reniform nematode, Rotylenchulus reniformis, on five cotton breeding lines reported as tolerant to this nematode in Texas were compared with two standard cotton cultivars, Deltapine 50 and Stoneville LA 887, in a North Carolina field naturally infested with R. reniformis. Numbers of R. reniformis in soil were suppressed at mid-season, and cotton-lint...

introduction salinity is a major abiotic stress that affects approximately 7% of the world’s total land area. cotton (gossypium barbadense l.) is considered as one of the most important cash crops which is widely used for agricultural and industrial purposes. although, cotton is classified as one of the most salt-tolerant major crops but its growth and development are adversely affected by soil...

Kantor, W.M., Kerdock codes and related planes, Discrete Mathematics 106/107 (1992) 297-302. Among the many aspects of coding theory Jack van Lint has studied intensively are some generalizations of Preparata and Kerdock codes (see Baker et al. (1983), Cameron and Van Lint (1991) and Van Lint (1983)). There are still many open problems concerning these. This note is a brief discussion of proble...

We hybridized 10 chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) each from two CSSL populations and produced 50 F1 hybrids according to North Carolina Design II. We analyzed the genetic effects and heterosis of yield and yield components in the F1 hybrids and parents in four environments via the additive-dominance genetic model. Yield and yield components of the CSSLs were controlled by combined ...
