Isolates of Trichoderma spp. collected from snap bean foliage were tested for inhibition of grey mold of snap beans caused by Botrytis cinerea. In a detached blossom-pod assay an isolate of Trichoderma hamatum reduced pod rot by 94% compared to the nontreated check. Control was comparable to that obtained with...
Two objectives of this research were to identify fungi which are
mycorrhizal with western hemlock and to examine the ecology of hemlock
mycorrhizal fungi indigenous to outplanting sites. Another objective
was to evaluate the effectiveness of mycorrhizal inoculation in
improving the performance of outplanted hemlock seedlings.
A list of over...
Nine species of ectomycorrhizal fungi were grown in liquid media over a pH range of 2-7. Species fell into five major groups: (1)
growth significantly best only at the optimal pH, (2) growth increased with increase of pH, (3) significantly best growth spans three pH units, (4) spans four pH...
Four aspects of factors influencing the accuracy of nondestructive chlorophyll (Chl) and nitrogen (N) measurement in fresh leaves were studied: (1) optimum wavelength (OW) identification; (2) indices development and evaluation; (3) influence of leaf properties; and (4) influence of meter parameters and sampling technique. Results were used to develop indices...

Several studies have been conducted to examine the
utilization of non-protein nitrogen by the New Zealand
White rabbit.
Soybean meal (SBM) or urea added to a low protein (13%
CP) diet and a positive control diet were fed to does and
their offspring during a nine month experiment. Urea and...
Effective chemical control of pollination would
provide an alternative to the cytoplasmic male-sterile
system in hybrid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production.
The objective of this study was to determine
concentration, formulation, growth stage of application
and genotypic effects on levels of induced pollen
suppression and subsequent natural out-crossing from
foliar...
