In any field of corn the population-density or number of plants per unit length of row is very fluctuating. Accidental circumstances may result in considerable stretches being empty or thinly populated. Quite apart from this, the population of successive short lengths is sharply and characteristically inconstant. Where plants are few tillering is profuse and there is thus a tendency towards constancy in yield per unit length of row. Specific ascertainment has, in earlier experiments, suggested that the tendency is by no means marked. In consequence fluctuation of population-density in the sense here used, reduces yield in typical field crop substantially below the potential maximum appropriate to the soil and other circumstances. From short lengths of row, low in plant-population, yields are low. In aggregate these sparsely populated lengths are a feature of considerable economic importance.

EENY-398, a 7-page illustrated fact sheet by F. W. Howard and Dave Moore, describes one of the worst arthropod pests of coconut palms, which attacks the young fruits and can cause scarring and distortion and premature fruit drop.  Includes sections on distribution, description, biology and ecology, hosts, damage and economic importance, detection, management, and selected references.

The results of long-term research in experiments with crop rotations with different clover saturation are presented. It is shown that the cluster has a positive effect on the main indicators of vegetation of dark-gray forest soil. The introduction of two fields of perennial grasses into the six-field crop rotation significantly increases both the humus reserves and increases the productivity of arable land by 1.5–2 times compared to the crop rotation with a field of pure steam.

The practice of sport, at high competitive level or at participative level, needs the consumption of sport products or services; which generates production and employment. In this context, it is relevant to measure the economic importance of the sport sector. That is, questions such as what the economic weight of sport is, or how many jobs are related to sport are some of the issues this study would like to answer in the case of Catalonia. Data are referred to year 2006.
