Potential Benefits

Across horticultural crops the trend is to transplant larger plants to achieve the intended landscape effects or to produce the desired yield without the long wait associated with direct seeding or small transplant technology. Consumers want immediate gratification (a landscape design that produces the desired aesthetics without the wait for plants to grow to mature sizes). This trend extends from the use of large herbaceous plants for instant landscape color, transplanting of vegetable plants already in fruit to the home garden for early yield, to transplanting larger shrubs and trees to effect the impression of an established landscape. This trend logically culminates in the transplanting of large, mature specimen trees to create the appearance of a fully mature landscape. This workshop will explore the potential benefits of this approach and the challenges associated with successful transplanting of large trees.

Plants have evolved several mechanisms to protect themselves from different biotic and abiotic challenges, including pest and pathogen attacks. One of the most important mechanisms is the secondary metabolites (SM) (terpenes, phenolics and nitrogen/sulphur-containing compounds). The plants have synthesised a diverse group of compounds in different concentrations (mostly in very small quantities) and have important roles in plant defence, survival, adaptation, and reproduction. Citrus crops are among the most essential cultivated fruit groups and are rich in terpenoids and phenolics. Besides the well-known benefits of these compounds on human health, they have a significant role in plant/fruit defence against biotic and abiotic challenges. This review aims to highlight the importance of these compounds (such as limonene, citral, saponin, hesperidin, quercetin, tangeritine, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, scoparone, etc.) and discuss their roles in tree and fruit defence against pests and pathogens. In today’s world, where there is an essential human impact on nature, a need is raised to reduce pesticides against pests and pathogens. Therefore, understanding the roles of these SM and their induction is believed to have a significant positive impact on the production and/or storage of horticultural crops and may help reduce the use of synthetic agrochemicals. In line with this information, present review was aimed to provide a background information for researchers, farmers, horticulturalists and technology developers about the potential benefits of SM on plant/fruit defence and a guideline about their induction.

Garden Plants

The yard of the house is an open environment around the house and is provided to support various social and economic activities related to the owner of the house. The purpose of this study was to determine the types of horticultural crops based on the Javanese in Medan. The survey method used is the survey and interview methods. The result, obtained 12 types of plants that have the potential as medicinal plants and 2 types of plants that have the potential as ornamental plants. All types of plants have medicinal properties, this shows that the home garden has many benefits in providing potential types of plants, especially the daily needs of the family.

A better awareness of soil and crop condition variability within fields brought the notion, in the early 1980s that variable management within fields by zones rather than whole fields would increase profitability by doing the right thing at the right place in the right way. At the same time, the microcomputer became available and made possible the acquisition, processing, and use of spatial field data as well as the development of a new kind of farm machinery with computerized controllers and sensors. Precision agriculture (PA) has been considered for most common cropping systems and some specialty crops, worldwide. It is particularly well adapted to high value crops such as many horticultural crops. PA is still in infancy and its adoption varies greatly but precision agriculture is the agricultural system of the future. It offers a variety of potential benefits in profitability, productivity, sustainability, crop quality, food safety, environmental protection, on-farm quality of life, and rural economic development.

The Cost

In the development of landscape design, plants have always been one of the important elements in the landscape design, and play a very important role in the landscape. In the selection and application of landscape plants, living plants have always occupied a dominant position, but the research and application of dead trees are few. People tend to think that dead plants are no longer valuable, and all dead trees should be removed or replaced. In a sense, this is a waste of resources, and also increases the cost of landscape. In fact, the proper use of dead trees in landscapes design is more likely to display the artistic conception and theme of the landscape. In many natural landscapes, large trees, ancient trees and precious tree die because of natural laws or natural disasters, forming withered trees. This kind of withered tree endows the site with certain historical connotation, which could narrate the history and ecological change of site to people and evoke the imagination of people to the past. In addition, these dead wood still have high economic, ornamental, ecological and cultural values.This study focused on dead trees and dying trees as its subject, analyzing the outstanding dead trees application cases in natural landscape, and discusses the different functions of dead tree, such as ecological function, ornamental function, cultural function and others. In addition, the Beijing Wild Duck Lake National Wetland Park will serve as a special experimental site, dead tree will be designed and applied in the lake of park. And based on these data analyses, the final chapter will return to address the research questions and offer advice on how to apply dead tree to urban landscape and further enhance the value of dead trees in landscape design.

There are a multitude of reasons that a teletinnitus program can be beneficial, not only to the patients, but also within the hospital and audiology department. The ability to use technology for the purpose of tinnitus management allows for improved appointment access for all patients, especially those who live at a distance, has been shown to be more cost effective when the patients travel is otherwise monetarily compensated, and allows for multiple patient's to be seen in the same time slots, allowing for greater access to the clinic for the patients wishing to be seen in-house. There is also the patient's excitement in being part of a new technology-based program. The Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System (GCVHCS) saw the potential benefits of incorporating a teletinnitus program and began implementation in 2013. There were a few hurdles to work through during the beginning organizational process and the initial execution of the program. Since the establishment of the Teletinnitus program, the GCVHCS has seen an enhancement in patient care, reduction in travel compensation, improvement in clinic utilization, clinic availability, the genuine excitement of the use of a new healthcare media amongst staff and patients, and overall patient satisfaction.
