Oxygen diffusion in soilless culture systems in Mediterranean climate conditions is often quite low, especially in summer. This fact is seldom taken into account even though it could lead …
Multiannual inert substrates, especially perlite grow-bags and rockwool slabs, are widely used over several cropping seasons in low-cost plastic greenhouses in mild winter climates, …
Late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (Jansky-Bielchowsky disease) is a rare disease caused by mutations in the CLN2 gene. The authors report the clinical outcome and …
The use of an electronic tongue is proposed for the first time in the supervision of the nutrient solution composition produced by a fertigation system. This new approach in chemical …
… particularly for cyclamen pot plants (Schwemmer,I98I) (Yokoyama et al., 1979) (Nagata et al., 1977) (Miura,1976) (Miura, I974)• Nevertheless little has been published on the efffcts of …
The maize proteinase inhibitor (mpi) gene was introduced into two elite japonica rice varieties. Both constitutive expression of the mpi gene driven by the maize ubiquitin 1 promoter and …
This work assesses the seasonal dynamics of the substrate oxygen content and the response to nutrient solution oxygen enrichment (oxyfertigation) of an autumn–spring tomato crop …
Leachates produced in intensive horticulture must be collected, reused and eventually treated in order to prevent environmental pollution of water bodies. Constructed wetlands (CW) try …
… The possibility of using cattle manure compost as substrate has already been studied by Marfa et al. (1997). Coir is also a new interesting material but Prasad (1997) indicates a very …
… et al., 1986; Rivière et al., 1990). Since water flux to roots through growing media depends, at the same time, on the potential gradient and the ability of the substrate to transmit water at …
