Excised apical stem tips (2-5 mm) of grape cultivars grew well
on Murashige and Skoog's (1962) medium for tobacco callus. Additions
of glycine were not essential but gave a slight stimulus to growth.
Naphthalene acetic acid slightly reduced growth rates but reductions
were not statistically significant. Kinetin and coconut milk...
The effects of manganese nutrition on growth, mineral composition,
carbohydrate and nitrogen metabolism, IAA oxidase and phenols
of 'Northwest' strawberry plants are reported. Growth and mineral
composition response were investigated in sand culture and Hoagland's
solution 2 modified to contain 0.0, 0.5, 2.5, 12.5, 25.0, 62.5 and
125.0 ppm substrate...
Research was carried out to determine the influence of increasing
the percentage base saturation of the soil on the yield of
the commercial strawberry. It was found that the effect of increasing
the bases in the soils was directly related to the original
percentage base saturation. When this original value...
Fluctuations in population density of Pratylenchus sp.,
Trichodorus sp., and Xiphinema americanum s. 1. in three blueberry
fields were determined monthly for one year. Pratylenchus densities
were greatest in August and least in October. Three distinct
periods of population growth occurred; during January, April, and
between June and August. Trichodorus...
