TL;DR: The results indicate that a pathogen can induce several VOCs in maize plants that also induce V OCs in neighboring uninfected plants, though VOC induction could increase the range at which an insect pest species is attracted to VOC inducing plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gastrophysa polygoni herbivory on Rumex confertus: single leaf VOC induction and dose dependent herbivore attraction/repellence to individual compounds.
TL;DR: Large induction (>65(fold) increases) of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from a single leaf of the invasive weed mossy sorrel, Rumex confertus Willd and Gastrophysa polygoni by herbivory of the dock leaf beetle are reported.
The elemental composition of ash from straw and hay in the context of their agricultural utilization
TL;DR: In this article, the results of the elemental composition of the ash produced during combustion of straw and hay were presented, which was characterized by alkaline pH (pH 10.2) and a substantial overall potassium content (155,7 g ∙kg K), calcium (124,0 g∙kg Ca), phosphorus (15,1 g √kg P) and magnesium (7,3 g√kg Mg).
Effect of tillage simplifications on yield and grain quality of winter wheat after different previous crops
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of plowing tillage, reduced tillage and minimal tillage on the grain yield and quality of winter wheat sown after winter oilseed rape, winter wheat and maize for grain was investigated.
