Delivery of Hydrologic and Microbial Services by Shrub Rhizospheres to Increase Crop productivity and Stability in the Sahel. Shrubs do hydraulic lift – during night when photosynthesis stops – but water keeps moving up through roots because of low water potential in surface and high water potential in subsoil – so water moves passively through roots because of the structure of roots facilitates faster movement of water then through the soils.

Effect of Varying Rate of Leaf Defoliation on Maize Growth, Development and ...Scientific Review SR
Pot trial was conducted at the Faculty of Agriculture, Kogi State University Anyigba, within the
southern Guinea savanna agro ecological zone of Nigeria, with daily temperature range between 250C - 350C.
The experiment, a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with eight treatments (defoliation at 25%
above the ear, 25% under the ear, 50% above the ear, 50% under the ear, 75% above the ear, 75% under the
ear, 100% defoliation and no defoliation as control) was replicated four times. Treatment was imposed at ear
initiation. Growth and yield parameters collected were: number of leaves per plant, leaf area, plant height, stem
girth, days to ear initiation, number of cobs/plant, days to crop maturity, cob weight, cob length, seed rows per
cob, 100-seed weight as well as total cob yield/ha. All data collected were subjected to analysis of variance
(ANOVA) and New Duncan Multiple Range Test (NDMRT) was used to estimate the differences among
significant means at 5% level of probability. Prior to imposition of the treatment, anal yzed results indicate no
significant differences between number of leaves at 2, 4 and 6 WAS, as well as plant heights and stem girth at
2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 WAS. However there were significant differences between leaf areas at 4 and 6 WAS. In
addition, there were significant effects of defoliation on cob length and dry cob weight with the highest cob
weight obtained in 25% defoliation carried out above the ear. In addition, there were significant differences in
the number of rows per cob and grain yield per ha with 0% defoliation giving the highest result while the least
was in 100% defoliation. Generally, it was observed that defoliation at any rate and position influenced maize
yield, notwithstanding that the treatment was imposed at cob initiation, an indication that harvest of solar
radiation post cob initiation plays important role on eventual maize yield

This corporate presentation summarizes the report done by a Committee commisioned by the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine examining issues related to genetically engineered crops.
A keynote symposium talk to Grow Canada, December 7, 2016. The topic was the effects of climate change and how ag producers and agricultural researchers are studying opportunities to adapt to warmer temperatures. The session focuses on communications strategies that emphasize adaptation over the contentious issues of cause or mitigation. The hope it to continue productive agricultural production without becoming mired in policy discussion, and the science of adaptation will inform discussion in climate change cause and mitigation.
The following is some great basics about organic gardening that a former professor of mine presented. The slideshow of the Power Point is embedded below. Tell me what you think!
Using next generation sequencing to describe epiphytic microbiota associated ...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
Abstract— Its seems likely that agricultural management as diverse as certified organic and conventional IPM practices would impact the microbiota associated with crop surfaces differently. We sampled organic and conventionally managed apples at multiple time-points in a growing season and characterized the bacterial taxa associated with replicates of each treatment type. Surprisingly, no evidence of significant differences persisting across multiple time-points was observed. Significant differential abundance of certain taxa was documented but when it was, it was primarily associated with a single time-point making it difficult to understand if these observations resulted from an environmental or a treatment effect. Principal component analyses demonstrated that sampling time-point explained more of the differences between bacterial communities than treatment. Description of dominant shared bacterial families for both organic and conventional samples included Oxalobacteraceae, Pseudomonadaceae, Sphingomonadaceae and Enterobacteriaceae.

Getting online information to come to you nacaa 2012nacaa
Today we face a problem, not of information scarcity, but an over abundance of information. Getting useful online information to flow to you is critical to keep pace with the explosion of online knowledge.
We often find reliable and interesting sources of information, but find it difficult to keep returning to see what’s been posted recently. RSS feeds and feed readers help deliver up-to-date content from the sources you choose. This session will explain what an RSS feed is, and how you can use a feed reader to aggregate all these updates in one, easy to read, place - and keep them out of your inbox.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

David and others began a trial comapring tillage implements and wood chip mulch, as this looked promising for weed control. The goal was to investigate their effects on tree growth (performance) and soil quality. The experiment was in an 8-yr old Gala orchard, and had …
Wood chips in this experiment provided excellent weed control. As well as increasing fruit size and tree growth over the cultivated treatment and standard control! So the question then became how would they work in a new orchard planting where weed control is critical.
IF WE RATHER, WE CAN PLANT PREDATOR GARDENS IN STRIPS AROUND AND BETWEEN ORCHARD BLOCKS. WE HAVE FOUND PREDATOR GARDENS ALONE HAVE ELIMINATED ALL CHEMICAL SPRAYS FOR LEAF ROLLERS
Later we planted roses and strawberries next to orchards where no parasitism was seen previously by C. florus, infested these gardens with the strawberry leafroller and let C. florus naturally colonize these hosts. The effects on parasitism of leafrollers in the adjacent orchards. Is evident.

Organic grain acreage lags behind other states. Grain Millers in OR has had to bring in soft organic wheat from the Midwest. Some organic grain growers are successful but we have no recipes for them, few publications dedicated to organic production
Much of eastern WA pretty hilly and hillside combines used. This field extreme - been in DS for 20+ years Obviously topography like this is not suitable for intense tillage. Must be selective in sites for organic grain production.
Farmers don’t want to share info when markets limited. Problem for Extension as cannot be a private consultant. This farmer exception, very happy to show his farm (2009). MT farmer different – if I can’t fill a grain car, my neighbour can help. Foster cooperation is part of our challenge
Corner has perennial insectary of native plants to host beneficial insects – provide shelter, nectar etc. Beetle bank of grasses provide shelter for beetles that feed on insects and weed seeds in the crop. Checking suitability of different plant species and distance beneficials move out into the circle.
Can be a process for Ext faculty to be included as partners on national grant proposals, but researchers are learning that they need to include us in order to win grants. Extension component is increasingly one of the requirements. Surface tilllage with rotary hoes is not new technology. Everyone’s grandfather used one of these! Note not steep ground here. Implications for hard to control weeds in direct seeding systems – leave residue on the surface. Sweep for perennial weeds.
Best workshop reviews when we use the farmer-as-teacher model. – farmers want to learn from their peers, not the university expert.
Learning about farm family dynamics – working together as partners. Important for the farmer to do the work – not take over. Bring plenty of water, and pack dinner too!
