Journal ArticleDOI
Species-specific characteristics of trees can determine the litter macroinvertebrate community and decomposition process below their canopies
TL;DR: It was found that under O. xalapensis trees the breakdown of lignin from the litter produced by the same species of tree was particularly effective, suggesting that a feedback has developed between this tree species and the decomposer community prevailing under its canopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of stockplant environment on morphology, physiology and rooting of leafy stem cuttings of Albizia guachapele
TL;DR: It was concluded that A.guachapele, which can be propagated with thenon-mist propagation system utilized in this study, was markedly affected by pre-severancestockplant environment through its impact oncutting size and products of photosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vegetative propagation of Gnetum africanum Welw., a leafy vegetable from West Africa
TL;DR: Although IBA had no significant effect on final rooting percentage, root number per rooted cutting was positively related to IBA concentration, values ranging from 6.8–13.8 in the 0 and 250 µg treatments respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic variation in host susceptibility to attack by the mahogany shoot borer, Hypsipyla grandella (Zeller)
TL;DR: To assess for genetic variation in susceptibility to pest attack, a combined progeny/provenance test of C. odorata and S. macrophylla were established separately at CATIE, Turrialba, Costa Rica, and assessed intensively over an 84‐week period.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of uneven, patchy cultivar mixtures on disease control and yield in winter barley
Adrian C. Newton,D.C. Guy +1 more
TL;DR: The mixture composition, which appeared to generate a discrete pattern of small patches of the component cultivars, gave a yield advantage in 2 years, while the mixture which was pre-mixed most homogeneously gave no significantield advantage in these trials.
