Water Retention: Ensuring Every Drop Counts In arid and semi-arid regions, moisture is critical for seedling survival. Placed beneath the planting soil layer, geomembranes act as an underground reservoir by limiting water loss to deeper strata, enabling water savings of 30 to 50 percent and maintaining a consistently moist microenvironment for roots. Case Study: a barren mountain ...
Here, we demonstrate that a strict balance is maintained between NO generation and scavenging during tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) seedling deetiolation. Given the absence of accurate methods in the literature to estimate NO scavenging in planta, we first developed a simple, robust system to continuously monitor the global in vivo NO scavenging by plant tissues. ...
Here are the top five methods to protect your corn from pest crows with Avian Control. 1. Keep Seedlings Safe Crows are known to get the corn before it even has a chance to grow. The first step to protecting your corn from crows is to plant seedlings deep into the ground. To ensure crows and other pest birds can’t reach your corn ...
Excel Erosion Education Circular (E3C) is produced by Western Excelsior to furnish education pertinent and specific to the erosion control industry. E3C is intended to offer erosion control professionals an educational resource to serve as a foundation for performance focused solutions. Volume 7 of E3C has been developed to provide an introduction to PP5-Xtreme, Western Excelsior's continuously ...
Few herbicides are labeled for weed control when establishing alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)-grass mixtures. Varying the planting date of the grass in relation to alfalfa and adjusting herbicide application timing could improve weed control and forage grass safety. The research objective was to evaluate the use of glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine] for weed ...

Plants grown in plastic pots were subjected to five N fertilization regimes: (i) control, N supply from seedling to physiological maturity (PM); (ii) N supply from seedling to flag leaf; (iii) N supply from flag leaf to PM; (iv) N supply from seedling to heading; and (v) N supply from heading to PM. ...
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of a sewage sludge-based compost (SSC) on the growth and mineral composition of containerized Pinus pinea L. seedlings. In the first experiment, five different substrates were tested: four binary mixtures of SSC and peat (100% SSC, 75% SSC, 50% SSC and 25% SSC, by volume) without fertilization, and a control ...
The effect of crude oil contaminated soil at various sublethal concentrations (0.25%, 0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0%) on the growth and metabolism of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) seedlings was studied. The results showed that crude oil induced environmental stress in the seedlings. This is indicated by the increase in free sugar, total protein and amino acids and a decrease ...
