Abstract:
... Planting at wide spacing is one of the reasons for low yields of Asiatic cotton (Gossypium arboreum L.). Yield levels can be improved by high planting density (HPD) through close spacing. Field studies were conducted with different rows (0.30, 0.45 and 0.60 m) and plant-to-plant spacing (0.05, 0.10 and 0.15 m) vis-à-vis recommended spacing (0.45 × 0.30 m). Plant-to-plant distance of 0.15 m had sig ...

Abstract:
... Fluorinated polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (F-POSS) is one of the most popular candidates at present for superhydrophobic coating. Because of its ultralow surface energy, F-POSS has usually been dissolved with expensive fluoro-solvents, and the melting temperature of F-POSS is not high (122–140 °C), which will cause its loss during use. So trying to polymerize/crosslink F-POSS molecules and/ ...
