Trace element nutrition in developing countries http://trophort.com/research/003/000/... In many areas within developing countries essential trace element deficiencies and toxicities from toxic metals are common. These problems are closely associated with the trace elements content of individual foods and that of water supplies. Furthermore, pollution excerts negative effects on the bioavailability of these trace elements.
Morphological variation - What is it? http://trophort.com/research/002/900/... Morphology refers to the physical form and external structure of plants. Biologists use diagnostic keys of morphological characters of plants to identify, classify and describe them. Since form and structure of plants is subject to natural variation, it is difficult to tell whether such variation exists within a given species or that in fact a different species is described.
Progress in science of chemical usage of tara extracts http://trophort.com/research/002/800/... Tara (Caesalpinia spinosa) is a small leguminous tree native to Peru. It is one of the main plant resources for extraction of tannins. Tannins are astringent, bitter plant polyphenols most commonly used for tanning of leather products.
Projections for British agriculture http://olericulture.org/research/000/200/... Changes in the commercial background and in government policies suggest less transfer of farmland to other uses in the future. The very recent dramatic increases in production costs caused by doubling of prices for pesticides and fertilizers, and fall in returns by ca. 50% may, however, decrease farmers' confidence to a level that area will decrease.
Status of freshwater prawn farming http://trophort.com/research/002/700/... Giant River Prawns (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) have been farmed using traditional methods in south-east Asia for ages. Industrial-scale rearing processes developed during the 1970s in Hawaii, Taiwan and Thailand and spread from there to other countries. Since then extensive areas have been brought under cultivation. The ecological impact of freshwater prawn farming is less severe than that of shrimp farming. The prawns are cultured at lower densities, with less waste produced and less diseases built up.
New Zealand forest growers commercialize science http://pomology.org/research/000/125/... New Zealand forest growers proof that commercialization of research is simply a synonym for innovation. Most organizations underestimate the time for implementation but also the impact on staying ahead of the competition. New Zealand's experience in integrating tree breeding, molecular biology, and silviculture research reveals how successfull innovation can be incorporated into organizations.
Influence of aldicarb pesticides http://trophort.com/research/002/600/... Aldicarb is the active substance of carbamate insecticides including Temik. It is effective against thrips, aphids, spider mites, leafminers fleahoppers and lygus. As a cholinesterase inhibitor it prevents the breakdown of acetylcholine in the synapse and target insects die of respiratory failure.
