Rubus chamaemorus; Sphagnum; crabs; fish meal; flowering; fruit yield; habitats; lichens; mineral fertilizers; mineralization; nutrients; organic fertilizers; peatlands; plant growth; potassium chloride; small fruits; soil; Quebec
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:
... Tomato is an important vegetable widely grown in the tropics due to its nutritional value and financial benefits for farmers. In Ghana, there is an undersupply caused by production ceasing entirely from October to May due to high temperatures. Heat stress has been reported to cause excessive flower drop leading to drastic reduction in yield; however, genotypic differences in heat tolerance exist i ...

Abstract:
... The ground leaching technology (GLT) system was introduced in low-input farming systems in response to the withdrawal of methyl bromide from agrochemical markets and the amelioration of conventional organic amendment drawbacks in managing plant-parasitic nematodes in olericulture. The primary indicator for success in GLT system is that potent nematicidal chemicals be released through leaching by w ...

Abstract:
... Tunnel cultivation of berries is increasing on a global basis, and suitable management techniques are being studied for growing berry crops in a protected environment. Soil mulching and irrigation are among the techniques that significantly affect plant growth and yield. Tunnel cultivation is often limited to growing single cultivars, and little attention has been paid to the effects of growing se ...
