The inheritance of multiple flowers and leaf pubescence resulting from the crosses between accessions from pepper species Capsicum annuum L. and C. chinense Jacq. was examined. Hand cross- and self-pollinations were made in a glass greenhouse. Only eight normal F1 plants were obtained from crosses between the two species when C. annuum L. was the female parent. F2 and backcross generations obtained from the F, and the two parents were grown in the field. Two field studies indicated that multiple flowers and leaf pubescence were controlled by dominant genes. A three-gene model leading to an F2 segregation ratio of 45:9:10 and a two-gene model leading to an F2 segregation ratio of 13:3 were suggested for the inheritance of multiple flowers and leaf pubescence, respectively. Epistasis was evoked in the interpretation of the data. No linkage was found between the two characters. The inconsistencies between F2 and backcross data might be due to selective elimination of genes from one or the other parent in an Interspecific hybridization. Segregation ratios from intraspecific crosses for leaf pubescence supported a two-gene model and gave an F2 ratio of 13 pubescent leaf : 3 glabrous leaf progeny.

Stem Solidness

Yield loss from sawfly (Cephus cinctus Norton) can be prevented by growing solid-stemmed wheat. No solid-stemmed durum cultivars (Triticum turgidumL. var. durum) are registered in Canada, even though solid-stemmed lines are available. Understanding the inheritance of stem solidness in such lines would be useful to breeders. Eight crosses were made between solid-stemmed and hollow-stemmed durums: Trinakria/DT369, Trinakria/DT367, Hugenot G/DT369, Hugenot W/DT369, 8678-1048A/Hugenot W, 8678-1048A/Hugen ot G, Kamilaroi/Hugenot G, and W9262-260D3/Kofa. Trinakria, Hugenot G, Hugenot W and W9262-260D3 are solid-stemmed and the other parents are hollow stemmed. Stem solidness was measured in field trials. The F1 were solid-stemmed, and the F2 of five of the seven crosses were not significantly different (P > 0.05) from a three solid-stemmed to one hollow-stemmed segregation ratio. The backcross of the solid-stemmed parents with the F1 was 100% solid-stemmed, and the backcross of the hollow-stemmed parents with the F1 was not significantly different (P > 0.05) from an expected one solid-stemmed to one hollow-stemmed segregation ratio. The F1 derived doubled haploids did not differ significantly (P > 0.05) from an expected one solid-stemmed to one hollow-stemmed segregation ratio. The expression of stem solidness fit the expected segregation ratios for a single dominant gene model in most of the crosses, which suggests that stem solidness in the four durums evaluated is controlled by a single dominant gene. Key words: Inheritance, sawfly, solid-stemmed, Triticum turgidum L. var. durum

The Salix genus includes shrub species that are widely used in phytoremediation and various other phytotechnologies due to their advantageous characteristics, such as a high evapotranspiration (ET) rate, in particular when cultivated in short rotation intensive culture (SRIC). Observations made in past field studies suggest that ET and its impact on soil hydrology can also lead to increases in soil pollutant concentrations near shrubs. To investigate this, sections of a mature willow plantation (seven years old) were cut to eliminate transpiration (Cut treatment). Soil concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), aliphatic compounds C10–C50, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and five trace elements (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Zn) were compared between the Cut and the uncut plots (Salix miyabeana ‘SX61’). Over 24 months, the results clearly show that removal of the willow shrubs limited the contaminants’ increase in the soil surface, as observed for C10–C50 and of 10 PAHs under the Salix treatment. This finding strongly reinforces a hypothesis that SRIC of willows may facilitate the migration of contaminants towards their roots, thus increasing their concentration in the surrounding soil. Such a “pumping effect” in a high-density willow crop is a prominent characteristic specific to field studies that can lead to counterintuitive results. Although apparent increases of contaminant concentrations contradict the purification benefits usually pursued in phytoremediation, the possibility of active phytoextraction and rhizodegradation is not excluded. Moreover, increases of pollutant concentrations under shrubs following migration suggest that decreases would consequently occur at the source points. Some reflections on interpreting field work results are provided.

Introduction. The article presents the results of research of the geographical vocabulary of the Shilan dialect, one of the Erzya-Mordovian dialects of the Samara region, common among Erzya population of Shilan village in Krasnoyarsk region. The dialect belongs to rare Mordovian dialects of the Samara Volga region that were formed in the region since the middle of the XIX century, and therefore its research is of extra interest. Materials and Methods. The research methods are determined by the purpose and objectives of the study. The analysis of the geographical vocabulary of the Shilan dialect is carried out with the involvement of relevant items made in other Mordovian dialects of Samara region, adjacent territories of neighboring regions, as well as other territories of settlement of the Mordovians. Data on geographical vocabulary of the dialect introduced into research for the first time. The main source materials for the article is based on field studies in Silane village during the field seasons in 2017 and 2020, as well as in other Erzya-Mordovian and Moksha-Mordovian villages of Samara region and adjacent territories in 2015 – 2020. Results and Discussion. The study showed that the geographical vocabulary of the Shilan dialect of the Erzya-Mordovian language is significantly different from the corresponding lexical clusters in other dialects of the Mordovian region, which can be explained by natural geographical conditions surrounding Shilan village and the original composition of this lexical cluster of Erzya immigrants who founded this village. Conclusion. The analysis of the geographical vocabulary of the Shilan dialect allowed, on the one hand, to identify specific features of this cluster that distinguish it from the corresponding materials of other Mordovian dialects of the region, and, on the other hand, to identify common isoglosses between it and a number of the Erzya-Mordovian dialects of the Samara Volga region.

Time Required

Field studies were conducted in 1990 and 1991 at Davis and Five Points, CA to evaluate weed control with napropamide and hand-weeding and the effect on yield and profitability in transplanted bell pepper. Weed cover 8 wk after transplanting averaged less than 10% in plots hand-weeded biweekly for 6 wk after transplanting. Weed cover at harvest was less than 30% in plots hand-weeded at 8 wk after transplanting. Napropamide treatment reduced weed cover at 8 wk after transplanting an average of 34% compared to untreated plots, but differences declined to 14% at harvest. Time required to hand-weed plots was greater if the interval between weeding was 4 instead of 2 wk. The time needed to hand-weed plots was reduced from 38% to 71% by napropamide treatment. When weeds were excluded by hand-weeding for the entire season, bell pepper yielded 25 810 kg/ha and was 4% to 18% higher than other treatments. Net returns were greater for plots that were hand-weeded the entire season or when napropamide was combined with hand-weeding at 4 and 8 wk after transplanting, compared to other treatments.

Field studies on the biting habits of Culicoides barbosai Wirth & Blanton were made near Montego Bay, Jamaica, during 1959 and 1960. Females of C. barbosai were collected in sufficient numbers for analysis in. seven experiments, six from Florida beach and one from Beading. Four positions were marked out on each site. Begular meteorological observations were made in the middle of the catching positions. An experiment consisted of four trials held on different days, each trial being composed of four collecting periods of 15 min. separated by 5-min. intervals. In each period four individuals collected, two exposing an arm each and two a leg. Individuals collected in a different position in each period of a trial.Catches were logarithmically transformed for analysis and tests of significance. The experiments were designed to provide correction factors for limbs, positions on Florida beach, and collectors, for use in other experiments. Correction factors are given as logarithms for application to transformed catches.More C. barbosai were collected from arms than legs, and catches in position IV were significantly higher than those in positions I, II and III. Five collectors (C, D, K, L and S) were compared. The ratio between leg/arm catches from D, who collected in only two experiments, was significantly different from those of C, L and S. The differences between the catches of C, K and L were insignificant, but all three caught significantly more than S. The catches from L were smaller after sea bathing and, compared to C and S, L’s catches increased significantly immediately after sunset. For this reason and to avoid inhibiting winds, quantitative studies on females of C. barbosai are best conducted in the early morning (dawn + 40 min.).The experimental errors (residual variances) were homogeneous with probabilities of 0.1 (C. barbosai—7 experiments) and 0.4 (C. furens (Poey)—8 experiments).

Calving ice walls are an important ablation mechanism for deglaciation of calving bays occupied by temperate tide-water glaciers and polar marine ice sheets. Dangers inherent in calving bays have precluded detailed field studies of these calving ice walls. However, calving ice walls also exist in sub-polar glaciers terminating on dry land, and an opportunity for detailed field work was afforded by the 12 August 1970 volcanic eruption on Deception Island (63.0°S, 60.6°W), where thawing of a surface blanket of ice-cemented ash produced solifluction ramps that made parts of the ice wall accessible. Measurements made in a melt-water trough incised into the ice wall, and in four tunnels cut into the ice wall, revealed numerous shear bands that rose almost vertically and curved forward. Shear offset increased upward and was greatest in shear bands that intersected the tips of ring-fault crevasses on the up-slope side of the ice wall. Near the base of the ice wall, other shear bands, possibly related to the slip-line field, intersected the ice wall at about 45°. Ice slabs separated by ring faults calved straight down as a result of shear rupture along these two sets of shear bands. Calving dynamics were analyzed and generalized for ice walls grounded in water.

Field studies were. conducted in 1992 and 1993 to evaluate vacuum planters with respect to precision placement of seeds and to separately study plant spacing and emergence uniformity on stand establishment and yield. All studies were. performed with Bush Blue Lake 47. In 1992, a cooperative study was conducted with the Experiment Station and ten growers in Upstate New York representing four makes of commercial planters. No planter was able to precision seed, and seedling emergence revealed a large tendency to clump plant, with less errors made in the form of misses or skips. In 1993, tractor planting speed was studied as a variable from 3.4 to 12.3 KPH (2.1 to 7.6 MPH) on spacing uniformity and yield. The average number of seedlings per meter of row was similar for all treatments, however, the variation in spacing between plants generally increased as planter speed increased. In research plots, in-rowspacing and emergence uniformity were studied. Plant population was held constant and three in-row spacings were. developed (1 plant 5 cm apart, 2 plants 10 cm apart or 3 plants 15 cm apart). There were. no differences in yield in this study. Daily emergence was recorded and seedlings were grouped into three categories based on their time to emergence (early, medium or late). Yield was more than twice as much from early than late emerging seedlings, while the medium group was intermediate with respect to yield.

Field studies were conducted for three consecutive years to determine if PRE and/or POST herbicides were needed in addition to preplant foliar-applied glyphosate and POST cultivation for maximum seed yield of irrigated and nonirrigated soybean planted in stale and undisturbed seedbeds on clay soil. Soybean seed yields following the use of PRE and POST herbicides alone or in combination were similar in all years, and exceeded seed yield following the use of glyphosate plus POST cultivation only. Plantings made in no-till and fall-till seedbeds produced similar seed yields when both PRE and POST herbicides were used. These results indicate that glyphosate plus cultivation was not adequate for soybean in stale seedbed plantings, and that either PRE or POST herbicides, but not both, were required for maximum seed yield.

In field studies, herbicides were applied at various times to different plots during the summer and fall at two locations over a 3-year period to control winter weeds in nonoverseeded bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] turf. Annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) control was higher at Griffin for all herbicide applications made in October when compared with herbicide applications made at the same rate in July, August, or September. At Lawrenceville, optimum annual bluegrass control was obtained when bensulide [O,O-diisopropyl phosphorodithioate S-ester with N-(2-mercaptoethyl) benzenesulfonamide] was applied in August, terbutol (2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-tolyl methylcarbamate) applied in either August or September, benefin (N-butyl-N-ethyl-α,α,α-trifluoro −2,6 dinitro-p-toluidine) applied in September, pronamide [3,5-dichloro-N-(1,1-dimethyl-2-propynyl) benzamide] applied in either September or October, and simazine [2-chloro-4,6-bis(ethylamino)-s-triazine] applied in October. DCPA (dimethyl tetrachloroterephthalate) did not control annual bluegrass satisfactorily at either location, regardless of dates of application. The control of several broadleaf weeds was generally higher when herbicides were applied in October at Griffin and when applied in September or October at Lawrenceville when compared with earlier treatments. Bensulide applied in October was the only herbicide that satisfactorily controlled parsley-piert (Alchemilla microcarpa Boissie Reuter).

Data on the occurrence of deadheads in wheat have been collected in agronomy trials In Victoria over many pars. The main points arising from this data are- 1. No consistent differences in the susceptibility of many commonly grown Australian varieties. 2. No positive relationship between a root rot index and the number of deadheads. 3. A significant reduction in deadhead numbers with the use of superphosphate in half the fertilizer trials where counts were made. In other trials, where superphosphate had no significant effect, the general trend was still a reduction in deadheads where superphosphate was used. 4. In several trials, deadheads increased after a pasture period. Barley grass was a prominent species in many of the pastures and, in others, legume species were an important component. In some trials there were more deadheads where barley was included in the rotation and, in others, less deadheads where oats were included. 5. In general, there was an increase in deadheads when fallowing was delayed, especially if the initial working was not done until just before sowing. 6. Burning stubble, when the land was winter-fallowed, did not significantly, affect the number of deadheads.
