GHEENS TKOUBLE Tropical Turf Tips from the Everglades Experiment Station, Belle Glade, Fla., says: "On most courses we have visited some of the greens must be watered lightly or they become soggy, with the result that they scald under a hot sun and are readily attacked by fungus diseases. A core of sod from such greens will usually show good root growth only in the upper 2 inches and no roots a...

This paper aims to investigate the spin dependent transport properties in hybrid nanoribbons, using non equilibrium Greens function method. The effects of temperature gradient between left and right leads, ferromagnetic exchange field, local external electric fields are also included. results show that up down currents produced flow opposite directions with almost equal magnitudes. evidently sh...

No. 6 at Keller Golf Course in St. Paul Although our random probing with a Hoffer tube of 142 greens on 36 golf courses back in 1969 and 1970 did work to provide documentation that just about every established green (139/142) that we sampled was infested with plant nematodes, I am not necessarily comfortable in recommending such "randomness" with regard to sampling. Plant pathogens (organisms t...

Blanching is a prerequisite for preservation of green leafy vegetables. However, it may cause partial destruction of some nutrients like ascorbic acid which is highly oxidizable with time in the post harvest period on atmospheric exposure. The objective of the present study is to identify a suitable blanching treatment and conditions (temperature, time and media) for commonly consumed green lea...

In one of the few studies of its kind, Cornell researchers Eric Nelson and Cheryl Craft (Dept. Plant Pathology, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences) report the successful suppression of dollar spot in both preventative and curative applications by a biological control agent, the bacteria Enterobacter cloacae, in field experiments on putting greens in New York. While laboratory and greenhou...
