Six different Japanese Maples (Acer palmatum) cultivars `Water Fall', `Burgundy Lace', `Crimson Queen', `Oshio-Beni', `SangoKaKu', and `Bloodgood' from Monrovia Nursery were planted in a randomized block design on 4 June 1997 at the The Morton Arboretum. Leaf heat tolerance was evaluated by measuring ion leakage of the leaf tissue at 25–60 °C in July, Aug., and Sept. 1997. The LT50 (the temperature at which 50% of the tissues were injured) of all the cultivars were higher in July (≈53 °C) and were lower in September (≈47 °C). Water content of the leaf tissues were higher in July compare to August and September and were not related to heat tolerance of most cultivars. Stem cold hardiness was performed by artificial freezing tests in Oct., Dec., and Feb. 1997/98. The Lowest Survival Temperature (LST) for the most hardy to least hardy cultivars in October and December were: `Burgundy Lace' (–15, –27 °C), `Bloodgood' (–18, –24 °C), `Oshio-Beni' (–15, –24 °C), `Crimson Queen' (–15, –18 °C), `Water Fall' (–9, –18 °C) and `SangoKaKu' (–9, –12 °C), respectively. Growth, dormancy development, spring budbreak and performance of these cultivars will be compared.

Penelitian bertujuan mendapatkan model regresi yang sesuai untuk menentukan status hara nitrogen pada tanaman manggis, sehingga status hara nitrogen dapat diinterpretasikan. Penelitian dilakukan di Kebun Manggis Kampung Cengal, Desa Karacak, Kecamatan Leuwiliang, Kabupaten Bogor, Jawa Barat mulai April 2005 sampai dengan April 2007. Percobaan menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok dan lima ulangan. Perlakuan yang di uji ialah lima taraf dosis pupuk N yaitu 0, 300, 600, 900, dan 1.200 g/tanaman/tahun. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa model regresi yang terbaik antara konsentrasi N pada daun umur 5 bulan dan produksi ialah kuadratik. Berdasarkan model kuadratik tersebut diketahui bahwa konsentrasi N daun berstatus sangat rendah (&lt;99%), rendah (0,99-&lt;1,35%), sedang (1,35-&lt;2,10%), dan tinggi (&gt;2,10%). Untuk menaikkan konsentrasi N daun dari status sangat rendah menjadi sedang membutuhkan pupuk N sebesar 3.017-7.017 g/tanaman/tahun pada tahun pertama. Untuk tahun kedua, N yang diperlukan sekitar 2.032-4.698 g/tanaman/tahun. Hasil penelitian ini dapat digunakan sebagai pedoman dalam menyusun rekomendasi pemupukan untuk tanaman manggis.<br /><br />The objectives of this study was to determine an ideal regression model for estimating nitrogen status on mangosteen plants, so that the nitogen status in mangosteen leaf tissue can be interpreted. The research was conducted at a mangosteen orchard at Cengal Kampong, Karacak Village, Leuwiliang Subdistrict, Bogor District, West Java in April 2005 till April 2007.  A completely randomized block design was used with five treatments levels of N fertilizer dosages and six replications. The dosages levels of N tested were 0, 300, 600, 900, and 1,200 g/plant/year. The results showed that the best regression model for describing the relation between concentration of N on mangosteen leaf of  5 months age and plant production was the quadratic model. According to this model, the nitrogen status in leaf tissues was very low (&lt;0.99%), low (0.99 to &lt;1.35%), medium (1.35 to &lt;2.10%), and high (&gt;2.10%). To increase the concentration of N on mangosteen leaf  from low status to medium ones, it  needed  N fertilizer approximately 3,017 to 7,017 g/plant/year in the first year. For the second year, it required about 2,032 to 4,698 g/plant/year. This results can be used as a guide to estimate fertilizer recommendations for mangosteen.

ABSTRACT: In order to evaluate the efficiency of phytase in diets with low and high phytate phosphorus (PP) 0content, as a consequence of wheat bran inclusion, on the relative weight of organs, intestinal morphometry and performance, three hundred and eighty-four male Cobb500 broilers were housed in metabolic cages. Animals were assigned into four treatments in a 2x2 factorial scheme in a randomized block design with eight replicates of 12 birds each. From 11 days of age birds received experimental diets, which consisted of: Diet low in PP; Diet low in PP with phytase (500FTU kg-1); Diet with a high PP and Diet with a high PP with phytase (500FTU kg-1). At 22 and 32 days of age two birds were slaughtered in order to collect gizzard, heart, liver, cecum, cloacal bursa, and at 32 days, a portion of the duodenum, jejunum and ileum was collected for morphometric evaluation. From 22 to 32 days of age average feed intake, average weight gain, average body weight and feed conversion ratio were also evaluated. Data were subjected to analysis of variance, fixed effects of diet and phytase and interaction between factors as well as the random block effects were tested. There was no significant interaction for the variables studied, concluding that phytase in diets with low or high phytate phosphorus content did not change the relative weight of organs, intestinal morphometrics and performance; only isolated effects were observed.

ABSTRACT In vegetables, especially the leafy ones, nitrogen (N) and water are essential in its growth, being N the second most absorbed and identified nutrient in the arugula leaf tissue. Water is essential for horticultural crops, so its use must be rational in order to achieve high yield. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of nitrogen levels and irrigation depths on the productive characteristics, the total leaf chlorophyll index (ICF) and nitrogen contents in the arugula culture. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block design subdivided in plots, with two factors: A) nitrogen levels applied in coverage (25, 50, 100, 125 and 150 mg dm-3) and B) irrigation depths [(50 and 100% of the available water capacity (AWC)]. At harvest, 37 days after transplantation (DAT), we observed a significant effect of the treatments when individually analyzed, and also a significant interaction between factors of the analyzed variables. The nitrogen content in the plant showed no effect for irrigation depths. However, the highest content was found in the level of 129 mg dm-3 (27.8 g kg-1), corresponding to an increase of 26% in relation to the lowest level (25 mg dm-3; 22.07 g kg-1). In conclusion, the supply of 150 mg dm-3 nitrogen and full irrigation management (100% of AWC) provided substantial increase in height, leaf area and fresh mass of aerial part of the plant.

Near-lethal abiotic stresses, e.g., low or high temperatures, chemicals, etc., can break endodormancy prematurely and reduce cold hardiness in woody plants. It is not well-ducumented whether biotic stresses can cause the same effect. Botryosphaeria dothidea causes canker in redbud (Cercis canadensis) and many other woody plants and is one of the most limiting factors growing redbud in the landscape. Two-year-old seedlings were planted in a nursery in May 1998 at The Morton Arboretum. Trees were inoculated (n = 10/treatment) with the fungus in Sept. 1998 using the stem slit method (a slit was cut about 5 cm above the base of the trunk and the wound was covered with parafilm after treatment). The treatments were T1 = control (PDA, Potato Dextrose Agar),T2 = 1-mm mycelium plug, T3 = low spore suspension (25 μL), T4 = high spore suspension (25 μL). Stem cold hardiness was evaluated by artificial freezing tests in Nov. 1998. The mean LT50 (the temperature at which 50% of the tissues is killed) from ion leakage were T1 (Control) = -29.3 °C, T2 (mycelium): -24.05 °C, T3 (low spore) = -18.75 °C, and T4 (high) = -16.4 °C. T3 and T4, the low- and high-spore inoculation, significantly reduced cold hardiness in redbud stem tissues. The LST (lowest survival temperature) based on visual observation of the samples after 7 days indicated all Botryosphaeria dothidea-treated plants had lower cold hardiness compared to control. Endodormancy was broken in B. dothidea-treated plants after placing plants under 16 h of light and 23 /18 °C day/night temperature for 1 month after the treatment. The highest percent budbrealk was for T4 (high spore), followed by T3 (Low Spore) and T2 (Mycelium).
