The objectives of this study were (a) to measure the amount
of cross-pollination caused by three bee species at 10, 20 and 40
rods distance from a foreign pollen source, (b) to measure the effects
of bee species, planting pattern and season on broad sense heritability
estimates for seed yield...
This is the first report on the susceptibility of salmonid fish to infection with the glochidia of the freshwater mussel Margaritifera. margaritifera using known numbers of parasites under controlled conditions. The relative susceptibility of six species of salmonid fish, 2O to 80 mm in total length, to glochidiosis was determined...
The effects of trade liberalization and trade integration can be seen in many
developing countries around the world. While freer trade can be said to create benefits
from efficient allocation of resources, it does not ensure that gains from trade will be
allocated equitably in a society. Nor does it...
Common vetch is a viny, succulent, annual legume attaining a height of 24 inches when planted alone. It grows taller when planted with a tall companion crop that provides structural support for climbing.
Crimson clover may be used as a cover crop, green manure, pasture, or hay. It often is used as a winter annual cover crop in annual rotations. It has been used successfully in reduced-tillage farming systems, and in orchards and vineyards where it can be managed to reseed itself.
Field pea can be used as a cover crop, green manure, forage, hay, and silage. Hay is good quality, but pea is more succulent than vetches and more difficult to cure. Regrowth after mowing or grazing is poor.
Delta-sigma modulators are currently a very popular technique for making high-resolution
analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters. These oversampled data
converters have several advantages over conventional Nyquist-rate converters, including
an insensitivity to many analog component imperfections, a simpler antialiasing filter and
reduced accuracy requirements in the sample and hold. Though the initial...
Malheur County is located in the southeast corner of Oregon and consists of about 64 million acres of which 260,000 acres is irrigated. Groundwater contamination has been found in a 115,000 acre area in Northeastern Malheur County. The main source of the groundwater contamination is agricultural practices. The overall objective...
Cereal rye is an erect annual grass with greenish blue, flat blades and an extensive fibrous root system. It resembles wheat, but usually is taller (3–5 ft) and tillers less. Flowering is induced by 14 hours of light in spring.
