The tobamoviruses tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) and cucumber green mottle mosaic (CGMMV) have caused severe crop damages worldwide. Soil-mediated dispersion of the mechanically transmitted constitute a major hindrance toward mitigating disease spread in crops carefully planted under sanitized conditions. Tobamoviruses are viable for months soil plant debris more than year adhere to c...

Greenhouse construction and operation have developed considerably during the last decade, mainly in northern European countries. These improvements took place in several areas, such as the development of new building techniques and actuators or the modelling of plant physiological processes and greenhouse climate. Presently, due to economic and environmental requirements, there is still a deman...

Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) is a key pest of various crops worldwide. In this study, we analyse the dependence of the infestation of this pest on spatially distributed micro climatic factors in a rose greenhouse. Despite the importance of this subject, the few existing studies have been realized in laboratory rather than in greenhouse conditions. However, recent progress on greenhouse...

This paper offers an approach and a theoretical framework for eliciting emotional speech using actors. The framework is developed by connecting the goal-based model of emotion proposed by Abelson [1], the work of appraisal theorists, and an approach to the actor's technical process widely used in the professional theater and taught in modern conservatories. In doing so, we hope to address some ...

Field microplot, small plot, and greenhouse experiments were conducted to determine the effects of rotation crops on Pratylenchus penetrans, Meloidogyne hapla, and Rhizoctonia fragariae populations. Extraction of P. penetrans from roots and soil in microplots and field plots planted to rotation crops was highest for Garry oat, lowest for Triple S sorgho-sudangrass and Saia oat, and intermediate...

Reducing and off-setting anthropogenic emissions of CO(2) and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) are important strategies of mitigating the greenhouse effect. Thus, the need for developing carbon (C) neutral and renewable sources of energy is more than ever before. Use of crop residue as a possible source of feedstock for bioenergy production must be critically and objectively assessed because of it...
