The objective of the study was to compare crop tolerance of carrots and parsnips to two soil and early postemergent herbicides. Dual Magnum (s-metolachlor) was recently registered for use on root crops, but provides poor control of hairy nightshade, and looses effectiveness if rainfall is excessive after application.
Design and control of vector fields is critical for many visualization and graphics tasks such as vector field visualization, fluid simulation, and texture synthesis. The fundamental qualitative structures associated with vector fields are fixed points, periodic orbits, and separatrices. In this paper we provide a new technique that allows for...
