Chamaecristafasciculata is widespread in eastern North America and commonly found on dry sandy soils. In contrast, large seeded C. fasciculata var. macrosperma is restricted to fresh-water tidal marshes of the central coastal plain of Virginia, USA. Greenhouse experiments were conducted to determine if var. macrosperma represents a flood-tolerant ecotype and if flood tolerance is associated wit...

The biological control of the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne hapla, was evaluated through the addition of organic amendments of dry and chopped leaves of Buddleja globosa, Drymis winteri, Eucalyptus globulus,...

The soil in some areas of northern China is heavy owing to the presence clay and stones, which significantly affects normal operation a planter as well growth rice. In this regard, study proposes seedbed clearing shaping device for dry direct-seeded rice, can be used remove stones seeding area, break blocks, leveling, groove forming. overall structure roller proposed was developed based on theo...

The objective of the work was to provide a method to predict CO2 and NH3 yields during composting of the biodegradable fraction of municipal solid wastes (MSW). The compostable portion of MSW was simulated using three principal biodegradable components, namely mixed paper wastes, yard wastes and food wastes. Twelve laboratory runs were carried out at thermophilic temperatures based on the princ...
