Planting date of soybean, Glycine max, influenced winter survival of Pratylenchus brachyurus in microplots at two locations in North Carolina. Delayed planting resulted in a linear decrease (P = 0.05) in the numbers of P. brachyurus at soybean harvest. Effects of planting date on nematode numbers persisted over winter, indicating that survival in the absence of a host is density independent. Co...

The accumulated litter is one of the bioindicators programs for recovery degraded areas due to its importance in biogeochemical cycle forest ecosystems. Thus, this study aimed evaluate stock and water retention capacity six-year-old homogeneous plantations Mimosa tenuiflora different spacings (2 m x 2 3 m) municipality Macaíba, RN. In each planting, 10 samples layer on soil were collected throu...

Planting new forests has received scientific and political attention as a measure to mitigate climate change. Large, have been planted in places like China Ethiopia and, over time, billion hectares could become available globally for planting forests. Sustainable management of forests, which are wood production, less despite these covering at least two globally. Better existing would improve fo...

This study was carried out to investigate the yield response of 2 soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) cultivars to different planting dates and plant populations and to examine the relationships of seed yield with leaf area index (LAI) and total dry matter (TDM) during the vegetative and reproductive periods for planting dates, plant populations, and cultivars. Two soybean cultivars, A3127 (earl...

Raised-field agricultural systems were exploited extensively by pre-Columbian Andean civilizations and now are used less extensively by contemporary Bolivian and Peruvian farmers as a method for farming the perennially wet soils of the intermontane pampas of the Andean high altiplano. The raised-field agricultural systems are linear or semi-linear raised planting platforms interspersed with sha...

Knot-related defects are the major cause of timber quality degradation, and diminishing this kind of defects is an important issue in forest management. For the purpose of clear-wood production, knot attributes and branch occlusion of Betula alnoides under natural pruning were investigated in a 14-year-old experimental plantation with five planting densities ranging from 500 to 3333 stems per h...
