The concept of a linear increase in harvest index, dHI/dt, has proven very useful for crop simulation modeling. The effect of high temperature on the response of dHI/dt of pods and seeds of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) has not been described. The objectives of this work were to determine (i) whether dHI/dt was linear at high temperature, (ii) whether high temperature affected dHI/dt and/or the ...

The stay-green mutation of the nuclear gene sid results in inhibition of chlorophyll degradation during leaf senescence in grasses, reducing N remobilization from senescing leaves. Effects on growth of Lolium perenne L. were investigated during N starvation (over 18 d) and after severe defoliation, when leaf growth depends on the remobilization of internal N. Rates of dry mater production, part...

The aim of the experiment was to determine the effect of different dry matter content and addition of silage inoculant on the ruminal protein degradability. Alfalfa herbage was collected from two cuts and the fresh matter was sampled two times during each cut (with different dry matter content). During the preparation of experimental micro-silages, the chopped forage was treated with a microbia...

the quality of wastewater generated in any process industry is generally indicated by performance itrace metals in the aquatic environment have to date come essentially from naturally occurring geochemical resources. however, this has been enhanced by anthropogenic activities resulting in pollution. consequently, correlations and partitioning of trace metals in the dissolved phase, suspended pa...

Perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS), one of the substitutes for perfluorooctane (PFOS), has been widely discussed around world. In this study, atmospheric concentrations PFHxS in Beijing summer and autumn 2021 were monitored, gas–particle partitioning wet dry deposition characteristics analyzed. The results show that average total 1.61 pg/m3 1.41 pg/m3, respectively. particulate fraction φ wa...
