Optimum irrigation is very important for nursery stock management of F1-hybrid oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.), constituting a major production cost. Generally, over watering of nursery stock can be a cause of loss of productivity. The aim of this study was to investigate the physiological and biochemical responses of oil palm nursery stock to reduced soil water content (SWC) and during the ...

the cornelian cherry is one of those less common but, nevertheless, interesting fruit species found in serbia which can be used both for food and medicine. due to a great importance of cornelian cherry fruits as safe food and a wide interest in growing this fruit species, this research was focused on examining the production technique of quality planting material of particularly large-fruit sel...

BACKGROUND Mixture models (MM) can be used to describe mixed stocks considering three sets of parameters: the total number of contributing sources, their chemical baseline signatures and their mixing proportions. When all nursery sources have been previously identified and sampled for juvenile fish to produce baseline nursery-signatures, mixing proportions are the only unknown set of parameters...

Morphological quality of black walnut (Juglans nigra L.) seedlings largely dictates their capacity to establish well in plantations and their performance potential for use as rootstocks in grafting. Larger seedlings and rootstocks, attained from propagation at relatively low nursery sowing densities, have comparatively more expansive root systems for exploitation of soil resources and greater n...

There is widespread concern among scientists and land managers that Phytophthora ramorum may be accidentally introduced into oak-dominated eastern U.S. forests through the transfer of the pathogen from infected nursery plants to susceptible understory forest species (for example, Rhododendron spp.) at the forest-urban interface. Inspection programs can be made more efficient by identifying loca...

Materials and methods: Stock solutions of liquid ASA and SS products were placed in a nursery environment for 24 hours (Trial One). Salicylate concentrations were measured at 0, 8, 16, and 24 hours using high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). In Trial Two, SS was metered into the drinking water of four groups of pigs in a commercial nursery, at stock solution concentrations of 2268 mg per ...

Guayule seedlinos were received fromi the federal nursery of the Emergency Guayule Project at various times of the year for use in a general study of the growth of this species under greenhouse conditions (1). Stock removed from the nursery at different times of the year showed markedly different powers of regenerationi when transplanted to soil in the greenhouse. The best growth was obtained f...

1 Part 340 regulates, among other things, the introduction of organisms and products altered or produced through genetic engineering that are plant pests or are believed to be plant pests. The introduction into the United States of such articles also may be subject to other regulations promulgated under the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701–7772) and found in 7 CFR parts 319, 330, and 360.
