Abstract:
... A field experiment was conducted at Ste. Anne de Bellevue, Quebec during the growing seasons of 2002 and 2003, to study the effect of Nod factor treatments, applied at specific growth stages, on photosynthesis and biomass accumulation by soybean grown under two tillage systems (conventional tillage, no-tillage). Spray application of Nod factors increased photosynthesis at the four fully expanded t ...

Abstract:
... Natural peatlands are an important source of berries in northern countries. One possible avenue to improve crop yield in natural peatlands is to apply fertilizers, ombrotrophic peatlands being very low in nutrients. In order to reduce the impact of this practice on an otherwise natural habitat, slow-release organic fertilizers might be more appropriate than mineral fertilizers. However, mineraliza ...

Abstract:
... Antibiotics from various sources such as livestock waste are being accumulated in the soil. The excessive uptake of antimicrobial agents by plants has been a major concern as it is currently unknown how plants respond to the presence of antibiotics in agricultural lands. The objectives were to analyze the alteration of trigonelline (TRG) biosynthesized by plants in response to various antibiotic s ...

Abstract:
... New Zn sources have emerged recently, which may boost the beneficial effects of leaf sprays on rice cropping. Thus, this study aimed to compare the effects of foliar sprays using Zn chelate against those with new Zn sources such as sorbitol-stabilised Zn nitrate and Zn oxide nanoparticles on rice seed enrichment and production. Treatments were arranged in a completely randomised design, comprising ...

Abstract:
... Water shortages is a major constraint in wheat production in South Africa. It is important therefore to assist irrigated wheat farmers to identify water stress tolerant growth stages in irrigated wheat genotypes. This study evaluated new wheat genotypes for water stress at different growth stages. An 8 (genotypes) × 2 (water treatments) × 3 (growth stages) factorial experiment was laid out in a ra ...
