Nitrogen Source Matters: High NH4/NO3 Ratio Reduces Cannabinoids, Terpenoids, and Yield in Medical Cannabis

Avia Saloner, +1 more
- 01 Jun 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined the impact of five supply ratios of NH4/NO3 (0, 10, 30, 50, and 100% N-NH4+, under a uniform level of 200 mg L 1 N) on plant response.

Differential grazing of female and male plants of prostrate juniper (Juniperus communis L.)

Geraldine M. McGowan, +2 more
- 17 Oct 2004 - 
TL;DR: Females and males of dioecious species may not allocate the same proportions of assimilate to plant protection and so may be differentially grazed, suggesting that the greater grazing on unsexable plants might be responsible for the cessation of reproduction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection and discrimination of nutrient deficiencies in sunflower by blue-green and chlorophyll-a fluorescence imaging

Émilie Cadet, +1 more
- 28 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: Images analysis allows a better interpretation of the fluorescence changes by showing the spatial relationships between BGF, the ChlFUV/ChlFBLUE and the RF/FRF ratios that are indicative of physiological disturbances occurring in leaves of nutrient deficient plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid structural characterisation of benzylisoquinoline and aporphine alkaloids from Ocotea spixiana acaricide extract by HPTLC-DESI-MSn.

Rodrigo S. Conceição, +8 more
- 15 Apr 2020 - 
TL;DR: The use of high-performance thin layer chromatography coupled with desorption electrospray ionisation multistage mass spectrometry (HPTLC DESI-MSn) as a fast tool to identify alkaloids present in O. spixiana extract and evaluate the extract's acaricide activity was demonstrated.
