SUMMARYThe results are recorded of three field experiments, designed to investigate the effects of plant population and nitrogen fertilizer on growth and yield of maize. High yields of grain can be obtained in Trinidad provided plant populations are at least 20 000 plants per acre, nitrogenous fertilizer is added at the rate of 5–6 cwt per acre, weed and insect pests are controlled, and water is not a limiting factor at any stage of crop growth. Growth analysis has shown the importance of high leaf area indices in the production of high grain yields.

Predominant ortho-selective mononitration of low-melting and liquid phenols and hydroxycoumarins in moderate to high yields has been accomplished upon grinding with solid cerium (IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN). Microwave-assisted expeditious CAN-mediated nitration of relatively high melting phenols and hydroxycoumarins with high efficiency and selectively under solvent-free conditions has been also developed to address the problems of sluggishness and low yield for these reluctant substrates.

The 3 wt% CuI/BNNS catalyst exhibited high efficiency for C–H difluoromethylation reactions and enabled greener synthesis at high yields using cyrene as a solvent. Furthermore, the catalyst could be easily recovered and recycled for at least five cycles.

Overhead irrigation is widely used to water lettuce during commercial production in China but exerts potential water wastage and pollution. Subirrigation is thought as a water-saving, high-efficiency fertigation strategy. However, few studies have compared the nutritional value and nitrate content of lettuce grown using subirrigation with plants cultivated with overhead irrigation. Therefore, this study explored the ability of ebb-and-flow subirrigation strategies to produce high yields of a leafy lettuce (cultivar Biscia Rossa) with high nutritional value and low nitrate content. Lettuce plants were cultivated in an ebb-and-flow subirrigation system with different irrigation frequencies (every 2 or 3 days) and immersion times (5, 10 or 15 minutes); overhead irrigation was used as control. Ebb-and-flow subirrigation significantly enhanced several lettuce growth parameters, significantly increased the level of vitamin C, and significantly decreased the nitrate content of lettuce leaves compared with overhead irrigation. The optimal subirrigation strategy for lettuce production was irrigation every 3 days with 15 minutes immersion; this ebb-and-flow subirrigation protocol could potentially be used to save water and resources, improve yield and nutrient contents and reduce nitrate content in commercial greenhouse lettuce production.

The utilisation of an ionic liquid-[bmim][BF4] as both reaction medium and promoter for the reaction between aldehyde and 4-hydroxy-6-methylpyran-2-one is described. Without any added catalyst, this reaction was realised efficiently to give arylbispyranylmethane derivatives in high yields. Alternatively, when this reaction was carried out in the presence of acetic anhydride, fused pyran derivatives were obtained. These two novel procedures have advantages such as an environmentally benign nature, high efficiency, simple operation process and mild reaction conditions. As an application, these procedures were used in the preparation of novel 5-substituted pyrimidine nucleoside derivatives with potential antiviral activities.

SummaryA four-year study from 1958 to 1962 showed that time of application of fertilizer nitrogen greatly influenced the yield of grain, the percentage of nitrogen and the crude protein of the grain under Nigerian conditions characteristic of the early maize cropping season from March to July. Split applications of nitrogen fertilizer significantly increased maize grain yield by 35 per cent when two equal doses were given one month and two months after planting; and by 31 per cent when four equal doses were supplied at planting and one month, two months and three months after seeding. Yield was significantly reduced when application was delayed two months after planting. High yields of maize were not obtained by supplying the whole of nitrogen fertilizer at one time, eidier at sowing or any time later during the growing season. However, applying all of the nitrogen fertilizer one month after planting significantly increased the percentage of nitrogen and of the crude protein content of the grain. The maize ear weight was favourably influenced by spreading the nitrogen application over the three-month period of the maize growth.
