Abstract The ‘Honeymoon’ sweet corn used in this study was hand-planted in rows on 36 inch centers at the University of New Hampshire Kingman Farm, Madbury, NH on 24 Jun. Each plot consisted of a single 30-ft row of corn and each treatment was replicated 4 times and arranged in a randomized complete block design. Silk sprays were begun on 16 Aug (when approximately 10% of the plants were in silk) using a R & D CO2-pressurized (40 psi) single nozzle hand-held sprayer. These applications were repeated on 19, 23, and 27 Aug. The sprays were directed toward the silk zone on both sides of the plant at a delivery rate of 30.4 gal/acre. Evaluations were made at harvest time on 7 and 8 Sep by examining 25 ears from each replicate for the presence of larvae or larval feeding injury.

Abstract ‘NK-199’ sweet corn was planted in 4-row plots 100 ft in length on 1 Jun ‘94. Distance between rows was 3 ft. Distance between plants within the row was 8 inches with the center 2 rows serving as record rows. Plots were replicated 4 times in a randomized complete block design. Sprays were applied with an International Harvester 770 Hi-Clear sprayer. The spray boom was adjusted to spray the silk area with each row being covered by 4 nozzles. The sprayer was equipped to treat 4 rows. All treatments were mixed in 10 gallons of water and applied at the rate of 25 gal/acre with 50 psi. Spray treatments were applied at 30% silk on 20 Jul, 24 Jul and 1 Aug. At harvest (4 Aug), 30 ears from the center 2 rows of each plot were husked and evaluated for worm damage as fresh-market (clean ears, no damage evident), processing (evidence of tip feeding but less than 3.6 cm tip damage), and culls (tip damage beyond 3.6 cm to the side and/or bottom). All worms found within the husk or ear were identified. The soil type was Norfolk “A” loamy sand.

Abstract This test was conducted on the University of Minnesota, Rosemount Experiment Station in corn planted 1 Jun. Plots consisted of single rows on 30" centers, 30 ft in length, and separated by untreated border rows and 4 ft alleys between replicates. Treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design with 4 replications. All plots were infested 27 Jul with approximately 25 neonate larvae/plant; larvae were applied to the whorl using ‘bazooka’ applicators. Plant growth stage at the time of infestation was primarily VI2-V13 and 95% pre-tassel (i.e., green tassel visible within the whorl). A single application of each treatment was made 4 Aug; the majority of larvae were second-instars. A medium-clearance Spirit sprayer was used to apply all materials. Liquid formulations were applied with one TX-10 nozzle/row at 40 psi, for a final spray volume of 30 gal/acre. Granular formulations were applied using a Gandy applicator. For all materials, applicator ground speed averaged 2 mph, wind speed 2 mph and ambient temperature 59°F. All treatments were evaluated 23 Aug by dissecting 5 plants per plot, from the tassel to the soil surface.

We investigated the interaction between genotype by trait, and an experiment was conducted at the University of Debrecen. Two maize cultivars, FAO340 and FAO410, were studied in a randomized complete block design with four replications. This experiment was applied to the six fertilization treatments. Fertilizer levels were NPK0 (control) (N:0, P2O5:0, K2O:0), NPK1 (N:30, P2O5:23, K2O:27), NPK2 (N:60, P2O5:46, K2O:54), NPK3 (N:90, P2O5:69, K2O:81), NPK4 (N:120, P2O5:92, K2O:108), and NPK5 (N:150, P2O5:115, K2O:135). The first principal component showed 54.24%, and the second principal component showed 20.75%, which explained the total squares interaction using the AMMI model in the case of the FAO410 hybrid. As regards the FAO340 hybrid, the first principal component showed 58.18%, and the second principal component showed 18.04%, explaining the total squares interaction using the AMMI model in the FAO410 hybrid. In the GGE biplot on FAO410, the first and the second principal components covered 91.20% of the total data in this analysis. Accordingly, the desirable treatment was NPK5, followed by NPK4, NPK2, NPK3, NPK1, and NPK0. NPK4 and NPK5 had the most desirable treatments for the number of seeds per row, chlorophyll, weight of 1000 seeds, and stem diameter in the case of the FAO410 hybrid.

ABSTRACT<br /><br />Indonesia is one of the largest wheat importers. Suitable environmental condition for wheat needs to be studied if wheat is going to be widely cultivated in Indonesia. The adaptability of wheat grown in various climates and altitudes is one of the important aspects. The objective of this experiment was to study the quantitative and morphological character of wheat grown in middle land (540 m asl) in Bogor, West Java. The experiment was arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications. Wheat genotypes used were three national varieties (Nias, Selayar, and Dewata), four new improved varieties (Guri 3 Agritan, Guri 4 Agritan, Guri 5 Agritan, and Guri 6 Unand), and one introduced genotype (SBD). Data were collected for several quantitative variables and seventeen morphological characters based on UPOV descriptor. The result showed that wheat growth was restricted in Bogor. Genotype determined plant height, leaf number, ear length, root length, number of spikelet, harvest time, seed weight, number of tillers, and plant biomass. Based on ear length, grain weight, and plant biomass, Guri 3 Agritan had the highest production than the other genotypes.<br /><br />Keywords: diversity, genetic relationship, high temperature, introduced genotype, phylogenetic<br /><br />

Genetic resources of temperate berry crops were collected 7 to 27 July 2004 in Hokkaido, Japan, under a bilateral agreement between the United States and Japan. This expedition was a collaborative effort between the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF), the University of New Hampshire, and Akita Prefectural College of Agriculture, Japan. Additional assistance was provided by the Hokkaido Governmental Plant Genetic Resources Center, several Forest Research Stations of the Hokkaido University, and private botanists. The expedition obtained 100 accessions encompassing eight genera and 29 species. In all, 84 seedlots, and 23 plants were obtained. The genera collected included: Actinidia, Fragaria, Lonicera, Morus, Ribes, Rubus, Sambucus, and Vaccinium. Plant and seed accessions from this trip are preserved and distributed from the USDA ARS National Clonal Germplasm Repository in Corvallis, Ore., and from MAFF. The target genus for this expedition was Fragaria, so the trip was planned for July. Multiple samples of the two Japanese diploid strawberry species, Fragaria iinumae Makino and F. nipponica Makino (synonym = F. yezoensis H. Hara) were obtained during their prime ripening time. Ribes, Rubus, and Vaccinium fruits ripened later in the summer, but were collected when fruit were observed. Unfortunately, seeds of some of these accessions proved to be immature or nonviable upon extraction. We suggest that expeditions to collect these genera should be planned for late August. Morphological and molecular evaluation of collected germplasm is underway at the USDA ARS Corvallis Repository and at the University of New Hampshire.

The purpose of this investigation was to study whether smokers and nonsmokers hold systematically different attitudes on tobacco smoking. Twenty-seven smoking-related Likert type attitude items were selected for analysis from a longer questionnaire that had been administered to sixty-one smoking and 246 nonsmoking college students at the University of New Hampshire. Both smokers and nonsmokers expressed highly similar unfavorable attitudes toward smoking but nonsmokers expressed those attitudes more strongly. With few exceptions the findings were found to hold over a considerable heterogeneity of item content. The hypothesis was generated that if investigators seek to find differences between smokers' and nonsmokers' attitudes that diverge from neutrality or uncertainty in different directions, they will for the most part fail. However, if they seek to find differences in the strength of such attitudes that are in the same direction of divergence, they will for the most part succeed.

Abstract The experiment was conducted at the Agricultural Experiment Station of the University of Guam, at the Inarajan site. The experiment was a randomized complete block design with four treatments and four replications. Each treatment consisted of four rows of head cabbage with eight plants on each row. Replications were separated by 60 cm of bare soil. Cabbage seedlings were planted 2 Mar 1993
