In the northern American colonies, especially New England, tight-knit farming families, organized in communities of several thousand people, dotted the landscape by the mid-eighteenth century. New Englanders staked their future on a mixed economy. They cleared forests for timber used in barrels, ...
Pasture Management: Clifton Park was a sheep ranch in England at the turn of the 20th century (1900). Your farm and herd will be different. Do not be afraid to change or add species to the base mixture. For best results, choose a wide variety of deep-rooted perennials. ...
The number of microbial colonies was calculated based on log of the number of colonies per gram of pomegranate aril. Statistical analysis All experiments were repeated in duplicate. The experimental data were analyzed according to a three-factor factorial design, including different polymer films, ...
Weed-insect pollinator interactions are also very important to maintain weeds in agricultural landscapes. Even if weeds are predominantly self-pollinating (Sutherland2004), wind- and insect-pollinated species are also typical of agricultural ecosystems (Petanidou and Lamborn2005). The persistence dynamics...
Fresh S2973 biomass was harvested by centrifugation then mixed into a pollen-sugar paste for feeding bees (Fig.1dand Supplementary Fig.6.). This formulation approach is used by beekeepers to give colonies supplemental nutrition in the form of pollen patties20,22. dsRNA was stable in food for...
(Lowy, F. D. 1998. New England J. Med.339: 520-532). Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) andS. aureusare the most common pathogens in nosocomial bacteremias and infections of implanted devices (Gordon et al. 2001. Ann. Thorac. Surg.72: 725-730; Malani et al. 2002. Clin. Infect...
The present invention relates to nucleic acids encoding flavonoid biosynthetic enzymes, flavonoid-regulating transcription factors and a flavonoid-specific membrane transporter in plants, and the use thereof for the modification of flavonoid biosynthesis in plants. The present invention also relates to constr...
Colonies of cacti can be seen throughout Penghu and new food items made of cacti, such as cactus ice, cakes and drinks, have also been developed. However, the specialty agricultural products also face numerous challenges, including (1) stagnation in sales due to unstable supply and demand; (...

Honey bees and bumblebees might be particularly important to ecosystem service flow between gardens and farms, given their extended foraging capabilities, their ability to cross landscape boundaries, and the perennial nature of eusocial bee colonies. Together, these characteristics suggest that these ...
