At 15 commercial highbush blueberry farms, fields where row middles were tilled had 72% lower larval density of Popillia japonica than fields with grass in row middles. Popillia japonica larval populations were similar in the perimeters of tilled and untilled fields. Soil parameters measured in these sites were not correlated with larval density of P. japonica. Samples of adult beetles on bushe...

Sweet Cayenne pepper is a nutrient-dense, sweet-tasting greenhouse vegetable that often faces water stress in dry areas, and optimizing growth with minimum consumption crucial. In this study, we investigated the impacts of amino acids (AAs) foliar application on reducing losses sweet cv. “Lombard” under conditions. The bushes were irrigated 3-day 6-day intervals simultaneously sprayed an AA fer...

Brebes Regency is an endemic area of Lymphatic Filariasis (LF) and has the highest number LF case in Central Java Province, Indonesia. Despite it located coastal region, which already known as one risk factors LF, distributed more rural area, away from shoreline. Adult mosquito need a certain site, called resting place, to rest after before bitting for blood meal. The purpose this study was ana...

Highbush blueberries need sufficient chilling exposure to induce bud break and flowering, which limits their cultivation in warm areas as well the profitability of protected greenhouses. Hydrogen cyanamide (H2CN2, HC), gibberellic acid (GA3), ethephon (CE), mineral oil (MO), potassium nitrate (KNO3) are often applied deciduous fruit trees advance set. In this study, experiments were conducted n...

Vegetation provides important functions and services in urban areas, and vegetation heights divided into vertical and horizontal units can be used as indicators for its assessment. Conversely, detailed area-wide and updated height information is frequently missing for most urban areas. This study sought to assess three vegetation height classes from a globally available TanDEM-X digital elevati...

The contribution presents statistical analysis of data given by a digital image of heather growth. The bushes are modeled as a process of interacting discs. Different ways of estimating the parameters of the model are compared.

Some exact solutions and multi-mode invariant submanifolds were found for the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) β-model by Poggi and Ruffo in Phys. D 103 (1997) 251. In the present paper we demonstrate how results of such a type can be obtained for an arbitrary Nparticle chain with periodic boundary conditions with the aid of our group-theoretical approach [Phys. D 117 (1998) 43] based on the concept of b...
