BIOMAP (Biogeochemistry model (BIOME-BGC) - Mapped Atmospheric Plant Soil System (MAPSS)) is a computer program that predicts ecosystem distribution and behavior over spatial grid cells of 10km at a daily timestep. It needs to consider events like fire for a more realistic prediction. This project involved integrating a new fire...
Provides distribution, host-plant, life history, habits, signs of damage, and identification information for the cereal leaf beetle, first found in Oregon in 1999. Discusses methods of chemical and biological control. Includes information on California's quarantine on agricultural products from Oregon and four color photographs of the cereal leaf beetle and...
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is an industry standard aimed to bring the web to handheld devices. The handheld devices are constrained by battery life and it becomes important that power is conserved across web transactions. The power consumed by the handheld device is directly proportional to the time taken for...
Crops were grown at the experimental farms using accepted cultural practices ( within the limits of experimentation) or trials were conducted on growers' fields. Most experiments were designed as randomized complete blocks with three to five replications. Herbicide treatments were applied uniformly with precision plot sprayers. Unless otherwise indicated, preplant...
