Appropriate fertigation management plays an important role in increasing crop quality and economizing water. The objective of the study was to determine effects two treatments, normal (T100) 50% sustained deficit (T50), on physico-chemical legumes. determinations were performed edible parts peas, French beans mangetout. trials conducted a protected cultivation certified organic farm. response l...

During the hardly six months of suitable climatic window in summer season, many vegetable crops such as cabbage, cauliflower and radish are grown extensively in Ladakh region of India. These crops contribute significantly to the requirement of military and paramilitary troops in addition to the civil population inhabiting the region. In addition to growing these vegetable crops outdoor, some of...

Cocaine is extracted from coca: a native bush from the Amazon rainforest. Coca is mostly grown in remote areas to avoid government intervention, and it has been increasingly cultivated inside protected areas (PAs). The effects of coca cultivation on the preservation of PAs are largely unknown. This research uses panel data (2006–2008) from a total of 684 farmers to evaluate the influence of coc...

This study was carried out to determine the effects of protected cultivation on earliness, yield, and fruit quality characteristics some lowchill peach-nectarine cultivars grown in eastern Mediterranean region Turkey. Phenological observations, yield parameters, were investigated. The chilling durations as CH (chilling hours), CU unit), heat accumulations determined. `Astoria? cultivar reached ...

Vibrio mimicus is a Gram-negative bacterium, which causes gastroenteritis and is closely related to Vibrio cholerae. The environmental reservoir of this bacterium is far from defined. Acanthamoeba as well as Vibrio species are found in diverse aquatic environments. The present study was aimed to investigate the ability of A. castellanii to host V. mimicus, the role of bacterial protease on inte...

This work describes the architecture of a system developed to introduce computer management into the cultivation process in low-tech greenhouses. The proposed system is implemented as a web-based application using open source technologies and subsystems comprised of modules that provide: (1) static information about the cultivation process and marketing of the supported crops or ornamentals, (2...

This paper describes a system developed to introduce computer management into the cultivation process in low-tech greenhouses. The proposed system is implemented as a web-based application using open source technologies and subsystems comprised of modules that provide: (1) static information about the cultivation process and marketing of the supported crops, (2) simulation and forecast models o...

In the fust of this series of papers suspensions of living pneumococci, which during growth had been protected from the action of air by anaerobic cultivation, were shown to possess the property of uniting with molecular oxygen to form peroxide when exposed to air under conditions unfavorable for cell multiplication (1). The three succeeding papers have dealt with the formation of peroxide (2),...

The base of this paper is built on the work in progress focused on the applicability of the KNX technology for protected cultivation industry. The authors present a description of this application area, which is new for the KNX, by providing the details and requirements of the climate control systems used in greenhouses. As an example of specific application domain, a control of humidity level ...
