The epidemiology of tomato brown root rot

F. T. LAST; MARION H. EBBEN Annals of Applied Biology 1966. doi:10.1111/j.1744-7348.1966.tb06870.x

Other claims from this paper (19)

Observation Three brown root rot symptoms occurred on tomato roots in infested soil without nematodes.
Observation Brown lesions appeared within a week of planting in heavily infested soils.
Observation Corkiness and black dot rarely appeared until the third month after planting.
Observation Black dot incidence sometimes rose sharply toward season end.
Association Observations suggested GSF caused more damage than C. atramentarium.
Association Yield was unrelated to black dot incidence.
Association Yield was inversely proportional to brown lesion occurrence.
Association Yield was inversely proportional to corkiness occurrence.
Association The yield relation with brown lesions was significant within eight weeks of planting.
Observation Early brown lesions mostly yielded GSF cultures, whereas later lesions more often yielded C. atramentarium.
Intervention effect Most GSF cultures produced 10 mm brown lesions on tomato seedling roots within two weeks.
Intervention effect C. atramentarium inoculation produced small pink lesions.
Intervention effect Pyrenochaeta inoculation produced no lesions.
Intervention effect GSF caused greater root damage, including root loss, in soil tests.
Association GSF root damage was reflected in decreased aerial growth.
Association GSF root damage was reflected in smaller fruit yields.
Intervention effect C. atramentarium did not affect aerial growth or fruit yield in soil tests.
Intervention effect In the second year, GSF lowered six week picking yield from 1.96 kg in controls to 1.02 kg per plant.
Observation GSF damage shifted with plant age: brown lesions appeared within days, while corkiness appeared after two to three months with stem lesions and yellow leaves.

Sprinkler irrigation on clay soils in southern Finland III. Effect on the quality of grain yield

Paavo Elonen; Lasse Nieminen; Osmo Kara Agricultural and Food Science 1967. doi:10.23986/afsci.71677

Other claims from this paper (14)

Association Grain ripening and quality depended strongly on irrigation date.
Intervention effect Irrigation before the transitional period accelerated ripening.
Intervention effect Early irrigation reduced green grains.
Intervention effect Early irrigation improved hectoliter weights and falling numbers.
Intervention effect Irrigation after the transitional period retarded ripening.
Intervention effect Late irrigation impaired grain quality.
Observation The optimal irrigation period for yield, ripening and quality was about two weeks midway between sprouting and ear emergence.
Observation Wheat, barley and oats responded similarly to irrigation date.
Intervention effect Fertilizer placement at 8—12 cm accelerated ripening and improved hectoliter weights.
Intervention effect Fertilizer placement reduced the adverse effect of late irrigation.
Association Fertilizer rate had little influence on grain quality.
Intervention effect Irrigation did not increase grain weight.
Intervention effect Irrigation increased grain number.
Intervention effect Irrigation markedly reduced crude protein content of wheat, barley and oats regardless of timing.

Physiological and Ecological Studies on the Secretory Function of Essential Oil in Pelargonium species

Teruo YOSHIDA Japanese Journal of Crop Science 1961. doi:10.1626/jcs.29.292

Other claims from this paper (8)

Observation The most suitable leaf drying period was 10 to 14 days, when leaf weight fell to 1/3∼1/4 of the original.
Intervention effect Shade drying for 10 to 14 days may somewhat increase oil yield compared with fresh leaves.
Intervention effect Drying leaves produced no significant change in essential oil chemical composition.
Intervention effect S. G sprinkling increased percentage oil yield.
Mechanism Greater solar radiation absorbed at the leaf surface was proposed to explain increased oil yield after S. G sprinkling.
Recommendation Drying was recommended to avoid undesirable leaf fermentation in summer.
Recommendation n-Hexane oil extraction was judged uneconomical.
Recommendation Prolonged distillation during hot summer days was recommended because after-distillation yields more oil.

Other claims from this paper (11)

Intervention effect Deep plowing favored growth and yield of most vegetable crops.
Intervention effect Heavy fertilizer application made deep plowing more effective.
Intervention effect Raw subsoil was unfavorable to cereal and forage crop growth and yield.
Observation Most heavily fertilized vegetable crops were relatively insensitive to subsoil inhibition.
Intervention effect Frost-exposed, heavily fertilized subsoil supported excellent vegetable growth and yield.
Intervention effect Poor subsoil inhibited growth of most vegetables in pots.
Intervention effect Fertile subsoil with heavy fertilizer supported vigorous growth of most vegetables in pots.
Intervention effect Some crops grew better in subsoil than topsoil with the same fertilizer amount.
Association High yielding crops under deep plowing were less affected by poor subsoil nutrition.
Association Sensitivity to aluminum toxicity and nutrient deficiency was suggested to relate to subsoil adaptation.
Mechanism Good soil aeration after deep plowing was linked to root development and active nutrient uptake.
