Idaho is a major malt barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) producer in the United States. Production concentrated semi-arid Snake River Plain region of southern Idaho. Irrigation and fertilizer N applications are two most important managed factors. Research was conducted at University Kimberly & Extension Center near Kimberly, ID, to determine yield, grain quality, characteristics as affected by applica...

the root endophytic fungus, piriformospora indica, colonizes roots of a large number of plant species including cereals and brasicaceae. there are several reports indicating that p. indica protects roots from different path-ogens. in the present study, rice plants were pre-inoculated with p. indica and were subsequently infected with fusarium proliferatum, as the causal agent of root rot and cr...

In modern oenology, supplementation of nitrogen sources is an important strategy to prevent sluggish or stuck fermentation. The present study thoroughly determined the effect addition timing and source type on fermentation kinetics aroma production, carried out by yeast strains with low high requirements. results revealed that different requirements have divergent reactions addition. Nitrogen c...

Females tend to be smaller than males in woody dioecious plant species, but they tend to be larger in herbs. The smaller size of females in woody species has been attributed to higher reproductive costs, yet no satisfactory explanation has been provided for their larger size in herbs. Because herbs have higher nitrogen concentrations in their tissues than woody plants, and because pollen is par...

Standard nutritional advice for irrigated sugarcane in South Africa and Swaziland is based on soil sample analysis and threshold values that have been determined experimentally over many years with surface-applied fertilisers. Fertilisers are normally applied in solid form during the early stages of crop development and watered in by the next irrigation cycle. The increasing popularity of subsu...

Introduction: The neural substrates of temporal processing are not still fully known. The majority of interval timing studies have dealt with this subject in the context of “Explicit timing” (computing the time intervals explicitly). The hypothesis “Implicit timing” (implicitly using temporal processing to improve function) has also proposed. This lesion study addressed explicit and implicit ti...

• The timing of N fertilization needs to consider the seasonal fluctuations in nitrogen (N) uptake. These could be summarized as followes: _ during the four weeks after budbreak : N is sourced from N stored in permanent structures, _ from 2 weeks before bloom to 4 weeks after bloom: there is a major N uptake by the roots, and _ after 4 weeks post-bloom: new peaks of N uptake happen at veraison ...

10 Spatial heterogeneity of soil resources, particularly nitrogen availability, affects herbaceous-layer 11 cover and diversity in temperate forest ecosystems. Current hypotheses predict that ungulate 12 herbivores influence nitrogen availability at the stand scale, but how ungulates affect nitrogen 13 availability at finer spatial scales that are relevant to the herb-layer is less understood. ...
