The manganese content of flue cured tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum) grown on a range of soils from the Mareeba-Dimbulah area was determined. Seven of the soils produced plants containing more than 600 p.p.m. manganese, a level above which quality may be adversely affected. Manganese toxicity symptoms were observed on bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and tobacco plants growing in one of the soils. The effect of air drying and pH on exchangeable and easily reducible manganese is demonstrated.

In a series of field and pot experiments, quality of cured leaf of tobacco plants Nicotiana tabacum, was adversely affected by increasing leaf levels of manganese. The quality decline manifested itself as a leaf 'greying' effect. Leaf manganese concentrations were readily increased by either foliar or substrate application of manganese. The increase in leaf manganese content was associated with a significant increase in potassium concentration and a significant decrease in calcium concentration in leaves. Sodium and magnesium leaf concentrations were not greatly affected by manganese. It is suggested that the decline in cured leaf quality was associated primarily with a change in the K : Ca : Mg ratio, which occurred at relatively low concentrations of manganese in the leaves. The results of this investigation indicate that the use of manganese-based fungicide sprays could cause a further quality decline of tobacco produced on soils containing high levels of exchangeable manganese.

Two new species belonging to two different families of the super-family Aphelenchoidea are described. The material was obtained from the roots of tobacco plants, Nicotiana tabacum.The worms were killed by hot water, fixed in F.A.A. solution, cleared in 1% glycerine alcohol mixture and mounted in pure glycerine.

EM (effective microorganisms) is a biofertilizer consisting of a mixed culture of potentially beneficial microorganisms. In this study, we investigated the effects of EM treatment on leaf in vivo chlorophyll a fluorescence of photosystem II (PSII), yield, and macronutrient content of bean plants grown on different substrates (nutrient rich substrate vs. nutrient poor sandy soil) in controlled environmental conditions (pot experiment in greenhouse). EM-treated plants maintained optimum leaf photosynthetic efficiency two weeks longer than the control plants, and increased yield independent of substrate. The levels of seed nutritionally-relevant molecules (proteins, lipids, and starch) were only slightly modified, apart from the protein content, which increased in plants grown in sandy soil. Although EM can be considered a promising and environmentally friendly technology for sustainable agriculture, more studies are needed to elucidate the mechanism(s) of action of EM, as well as its efficacy under open field conditions.

The results obtained in pot and field experiments have shown that <i>Helminthosporium sorokinianum</i> is able to infect bean plants. The cotyledons and roots of shoots during the first three weeks of growth are attacked the most frequently. Dark brown spots occur on the above-mentined organs. The infection of roots and cotyledonsof shoots is responsible for gangrene both before and after germination. Infected plants which remain alive only show symptoms of infection in the root system. The infection of roots by <i>H. sorokinianum</i> in older plants is detromental to growth and causes a decrease in the vield obtained from bean plants.

Genetiği değiştirilmiş bitkiler, kurşunun (Pb) kökten yer üstü kısımlarına translokasyonunu geliştirmek için büyük bir potansiyele sahip olabilir. Transgenik olmayan ( Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Petit Havana SR1) ve transgenik (p-cV-ChMTII GFP) tütün bitkileri tarafından Pb alımının sağlanması araştırmak için Çin hamsteri metalotiyonin II gezen bir kap deneyi yapıldı . Transgenik ve transgenik olmayan tütün bitkileri, 0, 1000, 2500, 5000 mg Pb kg- 1 ile Pb (NO 3 ) 2 olarak işlenmiş topraklarda yetiştirildi. Kelimede bir büyüme bölümünde 6 hafta boyunca çiçeklenme aşamasına kadar.Bitkilerin büyümesi, klorofil içeriği, mineral besin elementleri ve düşük glutatyon (GSH) bezleri, bitkilerin Pb alım potansiyeli ile birlikte incelenmiştir. Hem transgenik hem de transgenik olmayan bitkiler için Pb uygulamasındaki artışa bağlı olarak yer üstü biyokütle çevrildi aşamalı bir düşüş gözlendi. Yaprak besinlerinin bulaştığı, aşırı Pb işlemlerinden olumsuz etkilenmiştir, bunlardan en büyük düşüşü. Sürgün Pb yüksek derecesi 76.0 mg kg kadar ulaşan -1 transgenik ve 70.9 mg kg -1 transgenik olmayan bitkilerde. Pb alımı, p-cV-ChMTII GFP'nin tütün bitkisine aktarılmasıyla iyileştirildi; ancak, Pb fitoremediasyonunda yeterli değildi.

AbstractIn two trials, at Chitedze, Malawi, in 1966–1967, the spread of rosette virus disease in groundnuts (Arachis hypogaea) intersown with field beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) was less than the spread in groundnut monocultures comprising plant populations equivalent to the number of groundnut plants and to the total number of plants in the intersown crop. In one trial, numbers of early rosette transmissions were related to numbers of alate Aphis craccivora Koch, the vector of the virus, found on groundnut plants. Immigrant alate A. craccivora settling on the intersown crop were trapped by the hooked epidermal hairs of the bean plants and the observed reduction of rosette infection in the intersown crop was attributed to this effect. Inter-sowing with beans is considered less effective than early-sown, high-density monoculture as a method of reducing groundnut rosette infections and yields of groundnuts from inter-sown crops may be lower than those obtained from high-density monoculture.

As determined by the length for which roots were killed, there was no diurnal variation in the effectiveness on skeleton weed (Chondrilla juncea L.) of spray applications of 'Methoxone' at two-hourly intervals over a period of 24 hours. As determined by reduction in growth above the primary leaves, there was a well-marked diurnal variation in the effectiveness on bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) of drop applications of 'Methoxone.'
