No-till pasture renovation can increase the quality and forage yield of underproductive pastures. Decreased erosion, lower costs, and less lost grazing time are advantages of no-till renovation compared to conventional renovation. Unwanted vegetation is first controlled with herbicides to decrease competition for introduced orchardgrass. Two field trials were conducted using...
Four-fold partially purified glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase
(G-6-PDH) from the obligately psychrophilic marine bacterium
Vibrio marinus was effected by thermally induced leakage of the
enzyme, ammonium sulfate fractionation and column chromatography
on Sephadex G-200 gel.
The effects of temperature, pressure, salinity, and pH were
determined for the various degrees of enzyme purity....
Equipment for strip-till planting is under development in wheat-fallow
rotations in the Columbia Basin of Oregon. This involves the
absence of tillage during the fallow season. At planting time, the
strip-till planter creates a narrow band into which the wheat seed is
placed. The area between the rows is undisturbed...
Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) have an extensive history of harvest in the United States. The Pacific Northwest is well-reputed as a major source of floral greens for international markets. One NTFP in particular, beargrass (Xerophyllum tenax), has been repeatedly identified as a prominent, high-value species in the floral greens industry...
The reaction between 4- chloro- 6- methoxy- 5-nitropyrimidine
and methylamine was investigated. The reaction product was identified
as 4-methoxy-6-methylamino-5-nitropyrimidine from synthesis
of the product via 4-chloro-6-methylamino-5-nitropyrimidine.
The product was the result of displacement of chloro substituent with methylamine. The reaction occured under mild condition (e. g. 15-20
C. in dioxane)....
