The aim of this study was to find out if any of these materials can be safely used on agricultural soils to induce net N immobilization of N, and thereby decrease nitrate (NO 3 ) leaching. Chemical characterization showed that secondary sludge derived from biological waste water treatment was a nutrient-rich material low in fiber content, whereas primary and de-inked fiber sludge were high in fiber content and low in nutrient content. Cellulose-C and hemi-cellulose-C amounted to 46% and 36% of the organic C present, respectively, and C/N ratios were around 130 in primary and de-inked fiber sludge. Incubation studies at 8°C over 2 months showed that the decomposability of primary and de-inked fiber sludge in soil was not significantly different. Both showed lower decomposability than secondary sludge. Concentrations of inorganic N in soil declined to very low levels after application of primary and deinked fiber sludge and their capacity for net N immobilization was 4.8-7.2 kg N t - 1 C added at 5°C. However, contents of Cu, Cd and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in de-inked fiber sludge limit its use on arable land. Only primary fiber sludge was found to be suitable as a introgen catch fiber material for use on agricultural soils.","PeriodicalId":40817,"journal":{"name":"Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica Section B-Soil and Plant Science","volume":"43 1","pages":"56-63"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2003-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85778222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Differences between the treatments were only apparent in the early crop of lettuce. With the early crop, the dry matter content of the leguminous green manure was more significant in effect on yield than its nutrient content. Red clover and lucerne provided approximately the same level of nutrients as yellow sweet clover, but despite this gave lower yields of Iceberg lettuce than the yellow sweet clover. A possible reason for this was that the higher amount of dry matter supplied by the yellow sweet clover had a positive effect on soil structure and thus improved lettuce rooting and water uptake. The results indicate that at farm level, reliability of biomass production is more important in choice of a green manure crop than chemical and morphological properties of the species.","PeriodicalId":40817,"journal":{"name":"Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica Section B-Soil and Plant Science","volume":"224 4","pages":"1-1"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2003-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72413220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many of these plantings died back or had severe damage on leaves and stems. Plant pathogens incombination with frost injury were suspected to be the cause of the damage. In 1998-99, field and greenhouse plantings of blackberry were surveyed for the occurrence of plant pathogenic and saprophytic fungi. A total of 33 different fungi were identified in 18 cultivars from 23 plantings (19 field and 4 greenhouse). Of these, 12 were pathogenic fungi, while 21 were non-pathogenic, secondary invaders. The most important pathogens on the canes were (common name in parenthesis) Septocyta ruborum (Purple blotch), Gnomonia rubi (Gnomonia canker) and Sydowiella depressula (Sydowiella canker). Pathogenic fungi of less importance on the canes were Elsinoe veneta (Anthracnose) and Coniothyrium fuckelii (Cane blight). Peronospora sparsa (Downy mildew) was the most important fungus attacking leaves. On fruits Botrytis cinerea (Grey mould) was the most prevalent pathogen. Cladosporium spp. (Cladosporium rot) and Penicillium spp. (Blue mould) were frequently observed on fruits, but did not seem to be of significant importance. Other minor fruit rots were due to Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Bitter rot) and Mucor sp. (Mucor rot). Phragmidium violaceum (Blackberry rust) was found on canes and leaves, but was of minor importance. G. rubi and S. depressula caused damage mostly in the thornless cultivars, and P. sparsa was found almost exclusively in the thornless cultivar 'Loch Ness'. Both thorny and thornless cultivars were damaged by S. ruborum. In greenhouses the major fungal problem was B. cinerea.","PeriodicalId":40817,"journal":{"name":"Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica Section B-Soil and Plant Science","volume":"99 1","pages":"21-28"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2003-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79249758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The field sites covered a wide range of climatic conditions and the yield was recorded at five phenological stages from leaf stage to anthesis. The expansion of the equation appeared to be adequate for a combined analysis of the dry matter yield in meadow fescue and timothy.

Differences in stability were also found. In general, cultivars containing HMW glutenin subunits 5+10 had a higher gluten strength and also showed greater variation and less stability compared with those containing 2+12. When comparing bread-making quality over several years some promising cultivars were found. Drabant, Dragon, Dacke, Kosack and Stava were relatively good and stable among those cultivars containing HMW glutenin subunits 2+12. Avle and Tarso were the most promising of the cultivars with 5+10. The relatively weak character of Tarso despite the HMW glutenin subunits 5+10 might be due to the 1BL/1RS rye translocation in this cultivar.","PeriodicalId":40817,"journal":{"name":"Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica Section B-Soil and Plant Science","volume":"33 1","pages":"225-233"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"1999-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81908220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
